[QUOTE="Wild and Free, post: 146076, member: 406"] I had a generator switch panel wired into my house with the major circuits hooked to it several years back while doing a kitchen remodel and electrical updates. Had a new 110v 98% efficient propane furnace installed and have the refrigerator and deep freeze circuits wired in along with kitchen lights and outlets and bathroom lights. Have a 6500 watt portable generac which has kept the lights and heat on for a week long run when we had the major ice storm 5 years ago or so that took hundreds of miles of power lines down. I did use the double male cord trick for many years prior to the switch panel off an old 5k watt coleman generator I still have too and that got us through several power outages through the years as well. extension cords strung everywhere through the house switching them from one appliance to the next every few hours got old after a while. Come fall both generators are full of gas and I keep 15-20 gallons of gas on hand on top of that so I have about 4 full days worth of run time there before needing gas. [/QUOTE]
