[QUOTE="John Galbreath Jr., post: 225599, member: 31"] Should run most of the house excluding: Dryer Dish washer air contitioning heat (if heat pump) oven range top (if electric) water heater (if electric) If house is down a little while, start compressors or motors sequentially to reduce load. How are you going to power the house? Best is a transfer switch. I back feed the panel. I turn off the main breaker as to not back feed the lines and kill the guys trying to restore my power!!!!! Then I have a male each end extension cord. Yes dangerous!!!!!!! But only I use it and it is plugged in before I crank the genset. Then I turn off all breakers except the dryer. Crank the generator. Turn on circuits as needed to get power in the house where needed. For me, that is lights, well pump (water), fridge, furnace (gas). Now with that said, I normally just go outside and stay in the RV!!! [/QUOTE]
