If you have a Square D panel box they make a manual interlock for the breaker box that makes it impossible to turn on the generator breaker with out turning off the mains. You can select what you can power by turning off breakers that the generator won't run. I my case the only high demand breaker I leave on is for the water pump the range, dryer and big stuff gets turned off that gives me all my lights, TV, computer, furnace, fridge etc. My 6KW Honda does a good job of powering most of the house.
