    Why not do a line set/ disconnect box out back? We have a 30A one ready to plug n play if power goes out. You way is alright, but running multiple cords here and there might present an issue if rapid movement about the house became necessary.
    We turn off the main, fire up the 6500 plug it in and relax.

    Yeah Jim, I was looking at a power transfer kit as another option. Do you know if building code requires it be installed by or to be inspected by a licensed electrician?

    as a home owner it should not be required. call the city to verify.

    Don't ask Don't tell. I had my guy do it (as with everything) to Code.
