Emergency Generator for Home Use
By Dennis 
Scotch Plains, New Jersey
Purchased 09/07/2011 | 
Review Posted 09/28/2011 
PED staff was very helpful first by confirming my installation plan and second recommending all of the components I would need. I am a proficient home handyman and am comfortable with house wiring. I wanted to provide emergency power for the fridge/freezer, sump pump and forced air gas furnace. Lights, coffee maker and other small appliances were of secondary consideration.

Here's my setup:
- Mini power inlet brings 4 prong 240 power into my basement to a 4 prong outlet
- 30 amp convenience cord (in the basement) provides me with 2 15 amp circuits and 4 outlets
- 15 amp single circuit furnace transfer switch enables me to power gas fired furnace with extension cord
- drilled hole in kitchen floor behind referential freezer - extension cord to convenience outlets in basement
- heavy duty extension cords to other appliances as needed
- copper rod and grounding cable to keep generator safe from static buildup, etc.
- completed job with simple wooden frame covered with heavy duty builders vinyl (roof)
to protect generator from rainsnow.

End result: 5KW emergency power for about $1,000.
