Ripley, Ontario Canada | I run a 4000 watt generator, it does the furnace and the water pump and a light or 2. Toaster or frying pan if you unplug something else. How I do it is the same way Mike does. In the line to the furnace and the pump I put a plug. I then plug my furnace or my pump into either hydro or my genset. I had this done before I put an addition on my house, and had to get the hydro inspected. The hydro inspector approved my plug in system. There is no way to backfeed the genset into the main hydro because you completely disconnect when you pull the plug. I ran wire from each of my disconnects to a good place outside to set the genset, and put plugs outside so I don't have to string a lot of cords out through the house when I need the genset. What ever you do, don't backfeed through the pannel, the results of doing it wrong could be real bad. | |

How do you hook your generator to your house?
