There are several, as I'm sure you know, and each electrician I've spoken with prefers a different brand.![]()

I considered one myself but:
a) they're pricey
b) I'd be constrained to putting my generator near my meter which is a place I'd rather not put it.
Or electric heat.12 k should run your whole house unless you have a mansion
Al, are you looking to transfer the whole house? Or are you looking to provide power to just certain things that will be in their own sub-panel?
I plan to power up the whole house .
yes i forgot the rest of the world uses every thing except fuel oil to heat with electric heat does use a lot of power here once you pay fuel sir chargse it equates to to about 80 cents per kwh i stay away from electric if i canOr electric heat.
I have a 15KW (22.5 KW peak) and it won't start my heat pump.
Al if your wanting to be a tight ass like me a cheap way to power up certain critical circuts when you are gone is switch off what you don't need when you are gone how ever 12 k should run your whole house unless you have a mansion
Hmm, I don't have a mansion, but two different electricians sized me at a 40k to 50k standby unit if I want to run my whole house. I have a 10k portable and it does well running things plugged into extension cords, but it wouldn't have a hope of starting any of my A/C units let alone all 4 of them.
I hate to break it to you Dargo, but if you have 4 A/C units . . . you have a mansion.![]()
Al I've install a couple of these

Is this something custom made or can you buy this somewhere? I'd like to do something like this at my place...
But I ain't gots no big columns out front and I am the gardener! Besides, one of the A/C units is for the guest house and I don't have A/C in either barn yet! Besides, I even had a college professor tell me that I was stupid. I can't name him because Bob will know exactly who I am talking about and I will get in trouble posting that in 1984 he proclaimed himself as "wealthy" since he had some sort of tenure and made $30k a year then.
