Important Safety and Legal Information about Hooking A House Up To A Generator!!!

Hi folks! (YES THE LETTER IS HERE. SCROLL DOWN FOR IT.) It seems after I publish a new Preparedness Letter (see below), there's always something that pops up and says "You forgot about me!" I wasn't going to cover generators because, like solar power, many people just don't have them (not that it's a bad idea!...especially a multi-fuel one like the last two shown here: https://www.costco.com/generators.html?brand=firman&refine=%7C%7CBrand_attr-Firman). But what I DID think of is that if anyone has a generator and gets tempted to hook it up to their house by themselves using tricky, home-made cords and plugs in order to avoid just hooking up everything to long cords, you need to know that that strategy is HIGHLY ILLEGAL and VERY DANGEROUS. In fact, you are likely to fry someone when the city sends them out to repair a line somewhere. You will also end up toasting your generator and other things if the power comes back on un-predictably when you have it running. If you want to hook an electric generator up to your house, THERE IS A SAFE WAY TO DO IT: Get a PROFESSIONAL to wire a Generator Transfer Switch into your circuit board.
