When the ice storm hit the midwest we were without power for two weeks.
This transfer switch provided power with a 5000 watt generator to run our refrigerators, microwave, gas furnace blower and water pump- and it kept the pipes keep from freezing. We could live like civilized human beings again.
It was easy to install with online video (www.reliancecontrols.com). Once installed, we just plugged in the cord through a window and started the generator, then flipped switches from line to generator, easy as pie.
The rest of circuits not wired to this panel will come on when power is restored so you can then easily recognize when to turn off generator and resume regular power without the danger of killing linemen.
We have used it since that winter storm for another power outage. It works just fine, and is safe.
