This forum has been a wealth of information as we go though this house build, thank you all. Now for the question at hand.
I am thinking of a generator transfer switch near the main panel. I am looking at units that put the switch between the panel and selected loads. I want to power the well pump, hot water heater and selected lighting and power circuits.
The two most interesting are the Generac and Reliance, both 10 circuit. The Generac uses normal circuit breakers to replace the breakers in the panel which are removed. A main switch is used to select mains power or the generator and individual loads can be switched on and off.
The Reliance unit places switches between the panel breakers and load to select generator or mains. The reliance is about $50 more.
Anyone have any experience with those units?
