Thanks - he seems to ‘get’ what you are talking about & will check it out.
(I think he’s a little puzzled how I ‘know’ people with such good info! :-) FReepers are the best!!
Like I said, happy to be of service.
I learned all this because I just did it myself. You almost can’t by a portable gen set “big” enough to start a central air or heat pump unit. So our workaround was a couple of room units on different “legs” of the transfer switch.
While the whole house may not be cool we’ll at least have a couple bedrooms we can retreat to. I’m sure Mrs. L and I will find some way to occupy ourselves.
Best of luck to you, ma’am.
