To ensure adequacy for the appliance load, heavy-duty, outdoor-rated cords with a wire gauge should be used. A licensed electrical contractor should be called and can help you, if you need to connect a generator directly to your home wiring, and a power transfer switch should be installed before connecting the generator. Powering your generator will cause feed back into utility wires; it could create a deadly threat to you, your neighbors and to repair crews when there is no transfer switch.
