i'd love folks' opinions on something. i don't have a generator yet, but i have to plan ahead now and decide which circuits should be generator-protected, eventually. obviously stuff like fridge and lights should be, and obviously stuff like air conditioning shouldn't be.
i'm sort of leaning towards less rather than more. like, i was thinking along the lines of "kitchen outlets will be protected, but not living room. if there's a power outage and you just HAVE to keep watching that movie, well, you can run an extension cord to the living room". cuz... power outages aren't supposed to be routine. they're supposed to be a little inconvenient. they're supposed to interrupt your day.
is that too draconian of an approach? would it really be better to say "all the outlets are protected, just, in the event of a power outage, please be mindful of how many amps you draw no matter where it is in the house"?
