these things are good but they make a mess of your panel wiring and you have to have the wall space to mount it. There is a kit that goes on the front of your existing panel that makes your panel a transfer switch. You will have to turn off loads are to big (say AC of electric heat) but boy is ...

This is a great video. You can buy an Interlock Kit on line (google it) to fit about any panel and do just like he says. All the circuits will be powered but if your generator is not big enough, just turn off the breaker to say the AC or Water Heater but with the Interlock Kit, you will have po...

You can make this safe and legal by just buy in Interlock Kit (google it) and puting in on your existing home panel. This kit locks out the main breaker when the generator breaker is on keeping everything safe. Only costs about $150 and can be installed by just about anyone. Without a transfer...

The transfer switch is certainly safe but you only get 6 to 10 circuits and is a bear to wire and takes wall space. Look into these things called Interlock Kits (google it). They go right on the face of your existing panel and make a UL code leagel transfer switch out of your panel (no rewiring...

His last comment is the most important. You have to run it every month or 2 or it will not work when you need it. You can get rid of all the extension cords using a transfer switch or a simple $150 interlock kit that fits on your panel (google it) and use the generator to give power to your who...

Lots of work to move all those circuits and makes a mess of your panel wiring. How about just using an Interlock Kit that you buy on line from Iterlockkit (google it). Works kind the same way but you dont have to choose which breakers to move to the new panel. Meets code and only cost $150. Y...

How about using a interlock kit (google it) and just install it on your existing panel. Cost about $150 and almost no wiring! Takes about 1 hour. Meets code and all circuits are available! I like the comment about just staying in the RV. Why not drive it down the street and make an adventure...

A bit complicated. Have you looked at the Interlock Kit (google it) instead of the transfer switch. Much cheaper (about $150) and meets code. you could have done this work in 1 hour (maybe not as much fun!) Like the inverter stuff. Where did you get the big inverter?

You can do the same thing hooking up the generator to the whole house using an Interlock kit (google it) for $150 bucks and all your light AND the furnace will have power. If you have a small generator,(say under 5000 watts) you will have to turn off your ac and water heaters breakers but your r...

Do it right and safely. Just purchase anI Interlock Kit (google it) on line for $150 and back feed the existing panel. You can just turn off the breakers in your panel and no need to rewire anything. AND MEETS CODE

Guys, this way of doing it is way to complicated. Just buy an Interlock Kit on line (google it). the think cost $150 and you dont have to rewire anything. Meets code and can be installed in about 1 hour!

You say it will not run everything. I agree it might not run the waterheater but it will run your gas or oil furnace and a bunch of lights. I would go with a minimum 5000 watt so you can turn everything else off for a couple hours per day and turn on the waterheater and let it get hot. If you ...
