Last year we bought a generator. *We did not get a transfer switch but
did talk about it in estimated costs ... so this year when I started
asking about buying one and getting it installed, the price has gone
up a lot and there is a big variation according to whom I am
asking ... for a 5000 horsepower generator - what should the average
price be. *We only expect to have about six outlets (120). *And what
should we expect to pay to install it - garage is concrete block so it
would have to be mounted on the wall with screws. *Thanks. *I am in
Tampa Bay area.

Here is a link to a typical manual transfer switch with 6 circuits max. This
one is rated for 7.5 KW. Your generator is probably 5KW, so one like this
will be fine. I can install one of these in about an hour, give or take, so
in my area of NY the installation would be no more than $200.http://www.islandgenerators.com/brow...500-Watt-Gener...



Sorry - there is a lot going on here! I should have typed 5000 watts
- slightly higher start up number. Thank you for your help...
