Everyone suffers a blackout once in a while. Inconvenient for us since we have tankless water heaters; two electric and one gas. Currently if the power goes out I have to run an extension cord from the inverter in the truck to the gas heater.
Been planning to get a generator; nothing too big, just enough for the gas water heater, fridge and a few lights.
I have an outlet on the back patio. When the power is out I'm thinking I can open the main breaker and plug the generator into the patio outlet to feed the house through that circuit.
Obviously have to shut off the electric water heaters and tell the womens not to run hair dryers, etc.
What am I missing other than the legalities?
