The government in England have warned people not to do that because they keep burning their houses down.
At least they'd be warm lol ?

yeah… hard to prepare in a condo… the main panel is a main lug panel. No easy way to install a generator hookup, I’d pull he meter, and backfeed, but the new fence they installed is blocking it… I suppose I will replace the panel with a meter main breaker panel.
Except there is no main switch… and I want to power the heat pump… and water heater…Yea sucks to when you have limited space but there's always something you can do
Here in the UK we just go in through a plug socket (outlet ?) , knock up a male to male cable , turn off the main switch and electrify the house through the plug ring .... But of course you've got to have the power in the first place!

The government in England also thinks state run Healthcare is great.The government in England have warned people not to do that because they keep burning their houses down.

I'm honestly surprised you hadn't worked out contingency plans before this.Except there is no main switch… and I want to power the heat pump… and water heater…
Oh. Of course, I can do it… just not elegantly… and reversing the setup would involve reconnecting 1/0 lines in fridgid weather without a means of disconnect…There's always a way
I dont understand how this generates more heat than just burning the candle? You aren't creating more heat than what the candle is generating?Not trying to be funny but I am very surprised you're not prepped for something like this ? Especially being the admin of a DIY solar offgrid type forum lol,
Try this? Plants pots and a candle, they make a REAL difference in a room. they've got us through some cold days
I normally do 3 plant pots stacked

Don't put too many candles under or they go up in smoke
I just saw a youtube on that, restarting an entire grid from total blackout. The turn-on is staged and areas turned on incrementally.I’m worried what will happen when 600 homes all get power back on at the same time

Im so ????
The candle heat goes straight up as convection heat. Putting the ceramic around it heats the ceramic and it radiates infrared heat.I dont understand how this generates more heat than just burning the candle? You aren't creating more heat than what the candle is generating?

The people of cali would disagree.Sure, the grid can handle electric cars… if the weather is nice that is…
The heat is still in the room though? So it is not making more heat?The candle heat goes straight up as convection heat. Putting the ceramic around it heats the ceramic and it radiates infrared heat.
More efficient use of the available heat. Radiated infrared warms better than air heated by convection in a room. Same reason a wood stove feels so much warmer than a pellet stove.The heat is still in the room though? So it is not making more heat?
Same BTU's but the infrared in the ceramic doesn't "see" the air although it will radiate to other solids like your body. Or so I've heard on the internet.The heat is still in the room though? So it is not making more heat?

I will replace the entire electrical panel with a better panel that I can install an interlock on… and add a 50A generator inlet.
We don't have "consumer units" , we have service panels. And they are not required to have a main breaker in certain circumstances. The only way to kill a main lug panel is to pull the meter.Don't your consumer units have dual pole isolation ? We have to have it over here by law

Isn't that the country that believes it's citizens can defend themselves from Polar Bears with rocks, sticks, and proper pronouns?...ohh that sounds safe lol . have you tried moving to a civilized country? Possibly Canada
In a condo, there is a main breaker panel somewhere under the control of Maintenance, and each condo or apartment is just a sub-feed with a small breaker panel, and no main....ohh that sounds safe lol . have you tried moving to a civilized country? Possibly Canada
