I just bought a
Honda 2000i Generator with two 20 Amp 120 volt outlets. (Like your house outlets.) I'm thinking I can PULL (Turn Off) the Main 100 Amp breaker to the street, and back feed my generator IN ..to a normal weatherproof outdoor receptacle on the deck. Then I can supply power (Up to 2000 Watts) to any receptacle in the house. THE ONLY appliance I expect to feed is the refrigerator, and the furnace for Hot Water. (Showers).
Refrigerator, and Furnace. Nothing more. No Freezers, microwaves, electric stoves/ovens/TVs. If this works..I can add something else...until the generator trips out.
What do you think..??
