GenerLink™ offers several advantages over traditional transfer switches:
- GenerLink is installed outside your home at the electric meter providing easy access to your generator. Installation of a transfer switch may require re-wiring your home’s electric system.
- With GenerLink, you have the flexibility of selecting the appliances you want to run from your home’s breaker panel, up to the capacity of your generator. Most basic transfer switches have 6 to 8 hard-wired circuits. This limits the number of circuits you can connect to the transfer switch.
- Since GenerLink uses your existing breaker panel, you can run any large 120 or 240-volt appliance up to your generator’s capacity. Your well pump, water heater, sump pump, electric range, and clothes dryer are just some of the appliances that can be run on a rotation basis with GenerLink. Many transfer switches and sub panels have only 1 or 2 240-volt circuits rated at 15 or 20-amps. Heavier loads, such as water heaters and electric ranges, may not be accommodated by these transfer switches and sub panels.
