during the freeze in texas last year I cut the hardwired cable to my furnace and added a plug. I plugged that into an extension cord to a 2kw honda generator and it worked great. I had an electrician clean it all up after the freeze so my furnace now has a permanent plug into an outlet. I did add an interlock and a 13kw generator that will mostly power the house.
