Our power was knocked out by storms tonight during the 2nd OT of the Blackhawks game. No problem. I hooked the 6kw gen set to the inlet box I installed, turned off the main breaker to the house, flipped my transfer switch to the proper position, and in 10 minutes we had the only house in the neighborhood with power.

Total cost of the project, about $1,100 US. Not bad for a 53 year old guy who learned it all by watching YouTube videos. THAT’S What I can do.

Genuinely impressive. There are a lot of bad advice videos out there. Perchance did you keep links to the good ones?
