I just wish the electrical code would permit or require certain low cost things which make temporary generator connections more likely to be safe.
For example, code requires most furnaces to be hardwired. But a furnace is one of the first things you want on a generator in an extended winter power outage. If instead of hardwired, the code required plug and socket connections at each 120v furnace then Joe homeowner would be more likely to run an extension cord from his generator to his furnace instead of trying to rig up his generator with a suicide cord.
Are you referring to a forced-air central electric furnace? Mark.
