Running a dehumidifier in our basement. Currently its in a small room off the main, cause there is a floor drain. Would like to move the dehumidifier into the main room, but there is no drain. There is a PVC clean out in the floor, as the drain heads out of the house. Could I open that up...

No the furnace is not 240 its 120, on a 120 breaker, I know the difference, there is one white, one black and one copper wire going to it. The ref/ Freezer is upstairs the furnace is in the basement, the Ref / Freezer runs on the GFCI by itself perfectly fine, which says the ground and neutral...

@Stuff, and that is where the miscommunication is. I am not attaching to the house wiring anymore. I have the furnace disconnected it is on an extension cord, with no ground (cause as you explained its probably grounded through the gas line, so If i connect a ground the generator GFCI trips)...

Stuff, Freezer is currently plugged into a GFCI in the basement and runs fine pretty sure replacing them is not going to solve the problem. Please educate me what is are the risks of running on the GFCI without a ground?
