Hi,
I had a proper transfer switch (six circuits) installed on my home. They now have units that fit right under the power meter. They are not cheap--but they are legal and they do not back feed the power lines.
Do it once, and do it right. This is nothing to "play" with.
The other solution is to have plugs installed so that a furnace, for example may be run from the generator.
I was pleasantly suprized how much I could run without overloading my Kipor 2800 TI inverter generator. I had a natural gas stove.
Computer, lights in stair wells, main floor bathroom, master bed room, fridge, freezer, sump pump, sundry other lights, and garage door opener.
