You might be able to get away with putting a breaker sized for the heater and a recepticle on the inside of the house for the generator power. You keep selecting loads such that you don't overload the genrator. Fridges, sump pump, minimal lighting etc. The typical way is to install a special generator sub-panel for the critical loads. Metering of the generator current on the inside of the house would be helpful. Your generator would have to be a 220/120 variety. You could then turn off the main and turn off all other breakers but the heater or whatever circuit you want to use. If the main panel permits, it can be placed to interlock with the main breaker. Put a generator input connector on the outside of the house.Ī way is to use a manual transfer interlock which will prevent two breakers from being on at the same time. You always want to prevent both sources interconnected at the same time. You don't make male to male extension cord EVER. Our 20th year anniversary is May 21, 2020.
