when the electricticy goes out. I live in an area that recently experiences an ice storm and we were without power for about a week. I want to get a generator that will deliver enough power to keep my furnace, major appliances and a few lights, etc. working. My question is, how is this generator hooked up to the furnace and other items? Run into fuse box. junction box? Does it come with extension cord/s? How is it hooked up...installed? Thank You
you will require a generator with a 220 outlet. have a 10/4 cord (also known as cab tire) made up with the proper male end for the 220, a junction box, and a male dryer cord/plug. all available at home depot for 50 bucks. assemble into one cord. most important!!!SHUT YOUR MAIN BREAKER OFF. then shut all individual breakers off. plug the male dryer end into your female dryer outlet. plug into your 220 on the generator and fire it up. turn on only the individual breakers that you want to power...not the main. you are now back feeding your panel and you will not suffer through a blackout. just be sure that the main breaker is off when you are running this way.
