No AC. Your heater, tv, frig, lights. If you do to right you can plug it in to your
dryer plug and backfeed the house. You got to shut off your main braker & use
The rest of the breakers to power up what you need. Less is good, you don't won't
To overload your gen. Did I say less is good? Just make Shure you disconnect from
The gird.
This is what I do....I made up a large guage cord with a dryer plug on it. I turn the Main breaker in my breaker box off then plug the generator into my clothes dryer plug....this way my generator is feeding 220 into my breaker box....I then use the breaker box as a control panel....turning off what I do not need and running what I do need. I can turn off my freezer and refrigerator and turn the hot water heater on to take showers the switch back etc. works good.....can't run everything in the house all at once but you can still use everything a little at a time. I do use stabil in the gas and been doing this for about 15 years now without any problems. My generator is a Generac 4600. I operated like this during a big ice storm years ago for 10 days.
