GENERAC Generator.

Did you hook up a switching box to your main circuit breaker box? How did it work out? I also have a Generac generator but run it with extension cords as needed. I bought a switching box but never hooked it up, because I'd have to break through a stucco wall. Figured I'd do so if society went bad if TSHTF.

#42, No I didn’t. If I had installed a permanent residental unit I would have.

I just back feed from my Pole Barn/Shop panel to the main panel in the house.

I over did the size of line and breaker when running the electrical from my Main House panel to the shop so all I needed was a 220v. outlet wired appropriately for the generator to the shop Panel.
