Anyone have experience with one of the Generac systems?
The Generac 22 kw system I bought is automatic. When the power from the grid is interrupted. My transfer switch automatically disconnects after about 20 seconds. The generator starts and powers up my house.
When power is restored by the grid the generator stops and the automatic disconnect hooks me back up to the power company grid.
You can go online to buy the generator and disconnect.
The installation depends on the distance between you gas supply and your electric box. I was lucky my natural gas meter and breaker box was on the same side of the house. Generator installed in between. Also I had a slab pored for the generator. I also had to have a larger gas meter installed. Remember plumbers and electricians aren’t cheap.
Another thing . Insurance companies and fire marshals don’t like jury rigged plugs backed thru drier plugs.
Also manual disconnects should be used when hocking up a portable generator thru your breaker box.
