high Temperature
Air density is less at high altitudes, resulting in less available
engine power. Specifically, engine power will decrease 3.5%
for each 1,000 feet (300 meters) above sea level and 1%
for each 10° F (5.6°C) above 77°F (25°C). Make sure you and
your installer consider these factors when determining total
generator load.
gaseous fuel supply increases, and the number of 90 degree
bends in the fuel supply increases; compensations in piping
and wiring materials must be made. This is necessary to
comply with local codes and overcome electrical voltage
drops and gaseous fuel pressure drops.
The factors mentioned above will have a direct affect on
the overall price of your generator installation.
In some areas you may need to acquire electrical permits for
installing the home generator, building permits for installing
gas lines, and permits for noise allowances. Your installer

and security.
Federal and local codes, appearance, noise levels, fuel types,
and distances are the factors that must be considered when
