I ordered the Generac GP17500E generator and Gen-Trans 50 Amp Power transfer. Putting the generator together was a piece of cake. I was able to do it alone but would recommend an extra set of hands when installing the wheel kit.

I could have installed the Gen-Tran 50 Amp Power Transfer myself, the instructions were easy to follow, but I elected to use a professional electrician for the install. I wanted the system installed in a way that it was 100% impossible to have the main come on and the possibility of the backup going to the same circuits.

The electrician removed the circuits I wanted on back-up from the main and ran them all to a separate junction box. Then he ran the circuits I wanted backed-up to the Gen-Tran 50 amp Power Transfer box from the junction box. The electrician had to use more wiring than came with the package but I am very pleased with the way he installed it.

We hooked up the power cord to the generator, the generator started on the first try. Then we threw all the proper switches and everything worked perfectly.

I am very pleased with both of these purchases and would recommend either item.
