My home's 100A power panel is spread out pretty well where each room

problem. �Most of the switches seem to come with one 240 breaker (for
my well) and 4 - 15A circuits (1 for Kitchen for fridge and 1 for

Rather than wiring up individual circuits is it possible to get a
transfer switch that transfers the entire power to the generator
line?

dont forget having enough fuel on hand for such a load. a real
gasoline piggie, and since few gas stations have backup generators, no
gas no power.

some existing main panels have a lock out main breaker to allow legal
backfeeding of your home.

either main OR generator but not both at once,.

a main transfer switch should be available
