Long story short. During hurricane Irene we lost power for four days. Found a generator and had to re-wire the generator plug to fit my external plug that feeds the 200 Amp panel. I didn’t wire it correctly at first and when I plugged in, the device shown in the picture started to bellow smoke out of it.
The good news is that’s all that happened. The domestic hot water still works, but the forced hot water heat is not turning on when triggered by the thermostat.
Is this something I need to get at a plumbers or electrical store vs a big box store?
Any help would save me $ rather than calling in the oil man to swap this out.
