I also use a portable generator that I plug into the smaller circuit panel added specifically for it. DIY as well. when I flip on that circuit breaker it bypasses the corresponding circuits on the larger one going to the street power, but does not interrupt the breakers not used with the portable, so when power comes back on lights in the one room not covered turn on letting me know the powers back on. .

Place on pad closer to electrical panel. Easier to run gas line....

I guess I should have elaborated, I have a sub panel in the garage dedicated to the essentials, boiler, frig, kitchen lights, garage lights, etc..
I flip the breaker that’s feeding this sub panel off at the main panel, then crank up the generator....
The wife keeps warm and my beer stays cold :-)

I have the exact same setup. Generac 7000 watt gen and a plug on the outside of the house that connects to a dedicated panel for the generator. Most of the house is connected except the guest rooms and the central air. |
