Since you don't have gasoline, a switch on your furnace wouldn't be helpful:) Is your furnace 110 or 220? If 220 does your gen put out 220?

When I wired my house during building I wired in a few junctions just to power up critical circuits.

There is another trick for getting power to circuits but I'm not telling. If you don't know circuitry already you could get dangerous:)

Same here. I wire it directly through a breaker. The main MUST be turned off but once that's done I can energize any circuit in the house I want not just the ones on the transfer switch.

Thanks for the insight. My list was for things to “get” for next time.

I have a generator coming on Thursday. Getting the furnace up should be pretty easy.
