SSL Dad: Powering Your Home Safely with a Generator Using a Transfer Switch

By Simple Suburban Living / Posted on 6:42:00 PM / No comments / Categories: , , ,
This is an overview of the Generator and transfer switch setup that we use for backup power to our home. I am using the Reliance 10 circuit transfer switch and would highly recommend this product. The generator that we are using is a Generac GP7500E 7500 Watt generator which powers everything we need in the home for during an outage. This video will give you overview of one of the best options for connecting a generator to your home electric panel.

Thanks for watching!

SSL Dad: Generac GP7500E Consumer Review - The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly

By Simple Suburban Living / Posted on 6:33:00 PM / No comments / Categories: , , ,
This is a general overview and review of the Generac GP7500E electric start generator. I have owned this for about 4 months now and have been impressed with the power and performance. I use this generator to power our entire home through a transfer switch tied into our breaker box. The generator has no problem powering all of our essentials and more when needed.  There have been some complications with the generator however that I discuss in the video. I do hope that this helps anyone out there looking to purchase a generator by giving a fair and realistic review of the product.
