Agreed that you need to consider special case wiring with shared neutral (not typical). If you have a working knowledge of electrical wiring and can take your main panel cover off, check each circuit...

Yup, if you can find a friendly electrician that will let you do it. And yes, it varies greatly of how difficult it is.

To answer the 120v panel, so there are problems with doing so, specifically there is a special case where there is a shared neutral. The problem in this setup they are treating two 120v branch...

A lot of this depends on how accessible the panel is - in my last house it was in the garage so SUPER accessible. This matters for materials and labor, especially if you're hiring someone - 8ga is...

It really depends on your setup. I did the work myself but mine was simple. Added a breaker, interlock kit, and inlet. An electrician would probably have charged 200-400 for the labor in the...

I've looked at that as well; it's pricey, and not universally installable (depends on your utility), but seems like a good "Bolt on" option. For reference, the 30A version is over $700, which is...

That's a very good point - I was more speaking in generalities related to wiring a generator to the house. Personally, I wouldn't simply backfeed as some people do... it is far too dangerous. ...

Agree. I already have a non-inverter 3500W Champion gen but would like to upgrade to an inverter (dual fuel preferably) to keep sensitive elex continue working. But I wanted an inverter gen with a...

The interlock is the best value method - the interlock kits are like $70ish, you need to get a 240V breaker that's sized appropriately, plus probably some sort of outdoor rated (240V) plug and of...

Can you provide example of a different method of hooking up rather than a safety interlock switch and sub panel? Thanks

Wow, thanks a lot! Didn’t even realize the differences in generators for proper hook up to house panels. Repped!

More versatile? Yes. Better? That's subjective. That linked model is 6250W, OPs is 4250W. So, higher rated power. Your linked unit also has 240V, which makes it more versatile as well as...

The interlock kit is the most cost effective way, but I don't know if it's legit to tie both hots in the panel (240V) to a 120V generator. I mean, yeah you could do it, make it happen, and it should...

This is a 120V generator..... not even sure an electrician would wire such a thing, frankly, as it would only serve half of a panel. If so they'd likely want to install a transfer switch and sub...

The short version is that you will need to have an electrician put in a double-breaker, an interlock switch, and run wiring to a box mounted on the outside of the house that you will then plug the...

If done properly, yes safe BUT you're going to take a huge hit in kw rating. Generally kw rating goes gasoline>propane>ng. Here's a Champion model that's trifuel (not saying it's comparable to this...

Not an apples-to-apples comparison, as this device is not an inverter. It is equivalent in the power it provides, but definitely a different category of device, as it will not provide the clean...
