"Prepare a switchover panel to ensure that the utility mains are completely disconnected from the house when the generator is active - utility workers can be killed if generator power flows back onto the mains." Or, just plug the appliances directly into the generator...this way, you're completely clear of the housing electrical wiring. I have a heavy duty electrical extension cord with multiple outlets just for this purpose.

I was thinking of the large appliances, e.g. refrigerator or hard-wired air conditioning, which might not be as easy to unplug and replug.
