How do you hook up a gas generator? I am thinking of buying a portable gas generator to provide electricity?
Rolling Stone asked:
when the electricticy goes out. I live in an area that recently experiences an ice storm and we were without power for about a week. I want to get a generator that will deliver enough power to keep my furnace, major appliances and a few lights, etc. working. My question is, how is this generator hooked up to the furnace and other items? Run into fuse box. junction box? Does it come with extension cord/s? How is it hooked up…installed? Thank You
