So, I'm wiring up my household furnace in a way which will allow me to plug it into a generator during a power failure.

I'm looking for a switch which will provide two inputs and one output:

Input 1: Power from the utility company.
Input 2: Power from the generator.

Output: Goes to the furnace.


I believe this is a single pole, double switch. Correct?

Can anyone make a recommendation for this application?
