[QUOTE="Dumpstick, post: 3449733, member: 41653"] Turn off the breaker for the furnace, then plug in the fan at the plug you found. ETA: Run a heavy enough extension cord. Those furnace fans run more amperage than one may think. Turning off the breaker will prevent your generator backfeeding into the grid. If it backfeeds, you run the risk of injuring a lineworker. If a lineworker finds power at the outage from someone backfeeding the grid, you will be last in line to get repairs. They have to hunt down the offender and get them to shut off the gennie. [/QUOTE]
