Scenario: I have Well/Septic w/ natural gas. What would my options be if I wanted to try to run say 50% of my 150A service including Heat or A/C (with a hard start capacitor), water, septic, and a few creature comfort circuits for lighting, refrigerator, stove, and a 15A circuit with some outlets. I know well and a/c would be the largest obstacles to overcome.
Ive been very fortunate in regards to power outages the 7 yrs ive lived in my home, but in another Irene situation where I might not get so lucky I would like to be able to plug a gen into a transfer switch and just top off the fuel every now and then to keep'r running for a few days/week
