Edit: I was not expecting a sticky and such an outpouring of support. I've decided to try and find an electrician after much suggestion. Thank you for the love and support. You guys are awesome!
Weird question.
My fusebox is in my basement, where I've pretty much stocked up for Armageddon. I'm wary of letting an electrician into my home to install fuses and switches for my power generator so I'm thinking about doing the install myself.
I was wondering if anyone might be able to assist or provide a step by step with my set up?
Thank you
Are you installing a outlet to connect a portable generator to run the house or a permanent setup with auto transfer switch?
The portable route is the easiest to install. You basically need an interlock for your panel so you cannot have the generator feed on at the same time as the main breaker.
