[QUOTE="ratski, post: 3525242, member: 936"] Well, I'm not looking to power the entire house with AC and dryer going. Just be able to watch TV and turn on lights and run furnace fan for heat. Works well for that now, just would like to add some power so as to not have to worry about working the microwave occasionally. Right now I have the genny set up so I can run a chord from the 240 connector directly into the fuse box. Flip a breaker and I'm off grid, flip another and I'm on the generator. Only have had one major hiccup along the way. Turned out that we had a new iron and it drew something like 1700 watts when it cycled up. Even though it wasn't "on/warm" it still drew the 1700 watts. Took hours to figure out what the issue was!!! Dave [/QUOTE]
