    Generator transfer switch for house

    I was referring to my original question about the correct manual transfer panel. In doing research after I posted, I found the thread about switching the neutral . obviously if I go with the furnace transfer switch there is no need to switch the neutral. :)

It might reach. the furnace is in the attic (3rd floor). really all I'm looking to run is my refridgerator, furnace and microwave(800 watt).

    Generator transfer switch for house

    having a "big" generator is really not necessary, at least in my opinion. My only concern to get a transfer panel is to run my gas furnace. I could see if you had a heat pump and need the watts to run it, but other than that I don't see a point in anything larger than 7k.
