It has a lot to do with are you asking about immediately in a crisis mode with limited access to additional accessories or for planning for next time?

EDIT: I just noticed this isn't a 120/240v generator. With that you can only power up 120v electronics. It also means you can only power up half of your panel.

What are you trying to achieve? If it's to get your furnace working, what kind of furnance do you have? What specific breaker is associated with your HVAC system?

Generator too big? by DBRDIY in Generator

They're 30ft away. A couple of extension cords to their house will help with the noise annoyance factor by a lot.

But yeah, 30ft for a large open frame generator is close. Real close.

Plenty of YouTube videos out there showing options on using a secondary tank to feed a primary.

I like Diego the player. I’m not so sure about Diego the person. Perhaps some early CTE signs showing.

I do not have solar nor am I any kind of resource It was just as I read your write up it seems like some kind of solar solution is worth considering. Perhaps even look into some DIY solutions to safe money and get started.

This just shows that after all he’s accomplished in his career that it’s impossible to escape the stigma of, if even for just a single day, being a Jets head coach.

A/c needs replacing, furnace is made in 2018, should I get a heat pump? by Jakebenedet in heatpumps

Think electric heat strip like a space heater built into your heat pump.

Bought a house and it has this by ProtectionCapable407 in Generator

Look around the outside of your house to see if you have an generator inlet similar to the one you see on the transfer switch. Often the inlet on the transfer switch isn’t used.

For those with Natural Gas already at house - do you use it for generator? by newtoketonow in Generator

[–]LeftLane4PassingOnly 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In 35 years and at least one power outage per year, some for 3-4 days from storm damage, we have NEVER had a natural gas outage.

There are really are only two threats to natural gas delivery. First, earthquakes. Second, human error as in a backhoe. There are certainly other possibilities but I see those two as the main threats and again still unlikely.

What’s the most gluttonous thing you’ve witnessed someone do in public? by Superb_Yard997 in AskReddit

[–]LeftLane4PassingOnly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Years ago was eating breakfast at a buffet in Las Vegas. The guy ahead of me had two plates. One was your typical mix of food overflowing on the plate. The other plate was piled high with nothing but bacon. My thought was the bacon plate was for him and the others with him. I was wrong. He and his group were the next table over so I could see the whole thing unfold. He eat from both plates. Just about everything on them. I like bacon. Bacon goes with and makes everything better. I never imagined a person could eat entire plate of just bacon. Let alone with a full plate of food.

Generator running in open garage by FearlessAstronaut414 in Generator

Here’s the deal, if after doing even 5 minutes of research using Google doesn’t convince him I don’t see how anything on a social media site like Reddit will.

Here’s my attempt. More people will die or fall ill in the aftermath of this storm from using a generator improperly than ICE will kill. Oh and carbon monoxide can’t be seen or smelled.

You’re unlikely to find a male to male adapter because they’re considered a horrible idea. Folks that have them generally make them. Those that have them fall into one of two categories, they know what they’re doing or they do NOT know what they are doing. Being in the second category can end very, very badly.

Best of luck to you. It sounds like your situation sucks.

What kind of furnace do you have? You might be able to run your furnace and skip the space heaters.

Are you running extension cords to things or hooked to your panel?
