For example, code requires most furnaces to be hardwired. But a
furnace is one of the first things you want on a generator in an
extended winter power outage. If instead of hardwired, the code
required plug and socket connections at each 120v furnace then Joe
homeowner would be more likely to run an extension cord from his
generator to his furnace instead of trying to rig up his generator
with a suicide cord.
Are you referring to a forced-air central electric furnace?
