This spring I'll have a new electric furnace and heatpump installed. Because of this last weeks weather and power outage (lucky only two days here in Canby) Is it possible to connect a portable generator to this combo? If so, would I have the team that's installing the new furnace / heatpump install it in a way that I can use a portable generator to plug into this? The home is only 1272 sq ft.
Also, can a plug in be installed somehow to the electrical system of the home so I can use this portable generator to run power to the whole home? Never had a generator before so I don't have any idea what size of generator to get and I have no idea how a generator can power heat and electricity to the home. Can you only run power to just a few items in the home like the refrigerator or freezer?
