This is a great thread.
A lot of recommendations for backup generators with ATS. While they are nice systems, they are very expensive. What I do, is splice an extension cord so that it’s a double male, open the main breaker and plug that double ended cord into my portable 3000W generator and then into a wall outlet. This now becomes the feed to the house to run the basics. (Furnace, well pump, freezer) very easy and inexpensive for when you need
Id be careful with this. You also gotta be damn sure you have enough power to run whatever you plug in. For instance, i know a guy with an expensive sub zero fridge that has 2 compressors and draws a ton of power when they kick on and he fried it with a 5000w generator doing the same thing Ram94 did with his panel. And hes an installer for sub zero lol
