This brings up something I discovered during a recent outage...
My well pump is hard-wired into the main panel. I had assumed that it was
plugged into a wall outlet in the basement (dumb assumption).
My point is this: if you don't have a cut-over switch to feed the generator
into your main panel, you may not be able to power important devices... like
your well pump or furnace/heat pump.
