I have a dual fuel heat pump propane back up I want to run the propane

the indoor unit to my generator transfer switch and set my thermostat on
emergency heat ?

I have a dual fuel heat pump with Nat Gas. My furnace has a 110 plug.
I just unplug it from the outlet and plug it into an extension cord
hooked to the generator and set the thermostat to emergency heat. It
works just fine.
