Before you order up your transfer switch and generator, I would suggest doing load calculations before hand.
I am running all electric heat (3 dbl pole breakers), Well, Hot Water Tank, Range and Dryer for 240V loads. I got the transfer switch RTSD200A3 with my 20KW 5875.
It comes with (2) built in load sheds but they were designed for small load. It ended up I had to purchase (4) DLM modules to shed enough load to pass state electrical inspection.
It is a nice set up and seems to work on tests. I have not lost power yet but am confident I will have no troubles.
Only problem I had was with shipping. A slight inconvenience, but Electric Generators Direct took care of me.
Great Prices too.
