Easy set up
Purchased this set up for occasional power outages.
Instructions are fantastic and easy to follow. The whole set up took me no more than 3 hours to complete and that included a trip to the local store for black, white, red, and green 10-gauge wire for the power inlet box, some 20-amp breakers because I wanted to change the box around a little and, some other small items.
Watch the videos on Reliance Controls web site as well as read the directions a few times prior to install and you should have no problem getting this installed.

Very Happy
A very good product. It was very easy to install if you understand electricity and you are a good DIYer. I
t works just like they say it does and I'm very happy with it.
EGD RESPONDS: Please check local ordinances for electrical panel installation and/or modification; some require work to be done or certified by a licensed electrician.

Heavy Duty & Easy To Install
The transfer switch is heavy duty and easy to install. The instructions were simple and you can even see a connection video at the company site.
I managed to power up the entire house with the exception of the stove. If I run the electric water heater I obviously have to limit other loads.

Nice piece of equipment
I have a 6500 Watt generator and own a home with geothermal heat and electric water heater, and a gas fireplace for backup heat.
This 10 circuit switch is a tad bit large for my generator, but I wanted the capability to have lights, microwave, sump pump, and refrigerator circuits powered, or by turning these circuits off during the day, I can turn the hot water heater on to heat our water.
Once the water is hot, I can shut the 220 circuit off and turn all eight of the remaining circuits on which would allow us to live normally.
I used the Q Series recess kit to recess into the wall. The total installation time was approximately five hours at a relaxed pace.
Anyone with basic carpentry and electrical skills can achieve the same results I have. Instructions were excellent.
Once I identified the circuits I wanted to operate on the generator, I used an amp clamp to pre-plan balancing the generator load, thus actual installation was a breeze.
I used small color dots, seen in the picture, to identify importance and these match up with the identical color dot placed in the main fuse box on the circuit breaker.
I have given a picture to display how nice the panel looks recessed. It's a nice piece of equipment.
In the future should the need again arise for either a generator or transfer switch, I definitely will buy from this company.
I found their help to be superb and highly recommend them. I have a 6500 Watt generator and own a home with geothermal heat and electric water heater, and a gas fireplace for backup heat.

I used the Q Serie... more

First class equipment, honest company
I just want to pass along the excellent service and equipment your company provides.
I placed an order and within days the components started to arrive, and the generator was delivered right to my doorstep.
I received this equipment just as the second major snow storm arrived in Texas.
First class equipment and a wonderful, honest company- need I say anymore?!

American Made With Pride
Reliance Controls has helped to restore my faith in AMERICAN and MADE with PRIDE.
It is high quality, built well, and functions perfectly as advertised- well worth the investment.
I give it a five star rating... I made my own hinged plexiglass cover to prevent dust intrusion from the shop.
Excellent experience and service from Electric Generators Direct, I would definitely purchase from them in the future.

Great Product
I installed this unit without a hitch. I recessed the switch in the wall.
I took the NEMA Plug out and Hard wired the switch. The directions were good.
Don't mind the patchy drywall. It is temporary until I get a new sheet to cut a one-piece replacement.
I would buy Reliance from this website again.
Fast shipping, no problems.
