Generator
I want to get a generator just to run my furnace fan if the power goes out during the winter. We are in the Boston area, and the snowstorms are pretty fierce. I know that 3750kw will be plenty of power for what I need, but is this as simple as running the generator outside, running an extension cord into the basement and plugging my furnace fan into it. Or I guess, plugging everything in, and then starting teh generator. Does the generator run even when no power is being drawn from it. Also, would the thermostat work without power? What about the furnace itself? |
