TR,
Quite a few people I know have connected an exterior 220v recepticle to their existing breaker panel which they can then run a heavy cable from the generator to the recepticle and thus they have the capability of running their basic needs, refrigerator, gas furnance and possibly a few lights.
Only catch is you 'MUST' shut the breaker off prior to connecting the generator as the feed....and fuel.
How viable an option in your opinion, is a portable 5000 to 6500 watt gas generator as a basic needs electrical source used in this manner for such a senario as is being discussed?
