I believe it has one. I probably just don't know how to adjust it right. The wife doesn't like a fire, allergies and whatnot.

Nice post Mudhog. How did you connect your generator to your electirical box? I have read of several ways and it seems that the transfer switch is the most popular.

some pretty good info here......
I can assure of this, I have a 20KW hard wired with the auto transder switch and it is VERY nice.....I am in the electrical supply business. When a storm hits, I have to be in the office.
I simple do not want my wife having to worry about having gas, hooking things up and the like.
home is 2600 living, with gas heat, hot water heater and stove. A 3 ton and a 2 ton unit.
Mine has never failed to run the entire house with whatever demand I put on it.
I can run my pool pump if I need to as well.

I have a 20kw hard wired as well. Mine runs on propane and I have a 1000 gallon tank. No idea how long it would run, but it will be better than nothing. I would only run necessities in the event of another Katrina like disaster.

We sell / install (and I personally have) Generac. Absolutely zero complaints out of them, from price to install to service.
