There are several factors to consider including what size portable generator you’ll be using, what kind of receptacle .

This can vary by the type of transfer switch and depends on the number of circuits you would need covered.

• In a partial home application, the transfer switch is installed similarly to a subpanel, and the circuits that are covered by the generator are moved either into a circuited transfer switch or are installed in a subpanel that is protected by a non-circuited transfer switch.
• In a whole home application, the transfer switch is installed between the incoming utility power source and the home’s distribution panel.

An automatic backup generator is a back up electrical system that operates whether you are home or away. Within seconds of an outage, it automatically supplies power directly to your home’s electrical circuit breaker box. 

After utility power returns, the generator shuts itself off and waits for the next outage. It operates on natural gas or liquid propane gas and sits outside just like a central air conditioning unit.

During a utility power outage, an automatic backup generator provides numerous advantages over a portable generator:

With an automatic backup generator properly installed outside, your home is protected from deadly carbon monoxide poisoning, which is a much greater risk with portable generators.

• The American Red Cross recommends permanently installed backup generators as a safer way to provide backup power to a home than a portable generator.
• With an automatic backup generator properly installed outside, your home is protected from deadly carbon monoxide poisoning that is a much greater risk with portable generators.
• Running on the home’s natural gas or LP fuel supply, it is less expensive to run than gasoline and sources such as natural gas do not need to be refilled.
• Backup generators start automatically within seconds of a power outage, and eliminate the need to haul a portable generator outside or run extension cords throughout your home.
• Backup generators provide protection 24/7, whether you’re home or away, and they turn themselves off when utility power returns, so there is no need to monitor the unit during an outage.

The transfer switch is an essential part of the home backup system. Its primary function is to prevent your home from being powered by utility and generator power at the same time. If utility power is lost, the generator control panel senses the loss and tells the transfer switch to close off the connection with utility and complete the connection with the generator so it can begin providing power to the home.

• All standby and portable generator owners need a Generac maintenance kit because it’s important to keep up with a regular maintenance schedule. 
• Just like with a car or lawn mower, failure to complete regular maintenance can void your warranty. Doing what you can to ensure your unit works properly will give you peace of mind knowing it will work when it’s supposed to. You’ll be protecting your investment with genuine Generac parts. Lack of maintenance shortens the lifespan of your generator, and no one wants that.
