"Transfer switch" it mounts next to your panel and puts all the breakers or the ones needed in series with its breakers.
You plug into it from outside and flip the switches. Home depot sells a nice set up for this application. By installing this you don't have cords running in threw doors and it is "filtered A/C as opposed to non coming from the generator.
The non will have spikes which will hurt electronics like some new furnaces have.
It cost me for the switch- external plug and 40 ft extension cord $600.00. The cord has to be rated for 50 amp as well as its ends so it will cost $200.00 by it self. [i had to make it]
A 40 ft cords keeps the noise of the generator away from the house.
I have a 6000 watt 8500 surge generator and it will run the entire house hold electric/gas furnace as well as the A/C in the summer.
We havn't tried hair dryers or things like that, but all the important things it handles with ease. The switch from Home Depot has to meters built into it so that you can see how much power your pulling in each breaker bank so that you keep it balanced.
I was just going to runs cords like your talking untill this gentelmen gave me 5 mins of education on filtered and non filtered A/C.
I didn't want to kill the tv or computer and i now run both off the transfer switch with out fear of damage or power problem.
Sorry for being long winded but i hope this helps.
