[QUOTE="Davy Crockett, post: 221674, member: 367"] Every need is different, my back up plan is to run a heavy extension cord through my office window to my surge protector and run electronics off that and another extension cord to the garage freezer and fridge if need be. I don't know a lot about codes but I don't think there is a code against running a temporary UL certified extension cord inside your house in case of an emergency. I wonder if there is there any special reason a furnace is hard wired in ? Could you legally put a plug in on a furnace in new construction rather than hard wiring it ? Any law against pulling the circuit breaker on your furnace and putting a plug in in case of an emergency ? The chances you will ever need it is slim but you never know.

[COLOR="silver"][SIZE=1]- - - Updated - - -[/SIZE][/COLOR] And lanterns , I have many a fond memory when I was a kid and there was a big storm coming the old man would fire up the lanterns to make sure they worked , mantle white gas and kerosene lanterns and a 6 volt square battery box type flashlight.
