I am picking up a 5000w cont. / 6500w surge generator which
should be
more than enough for my needs. I want to keep the
refrigerator, 240v
water pump, the oil boiler circualtors, and a few lights at
at time
running. Practically the whole house has the CF lights so
my lighting
is about 1/4 normal. My max surge is 4000w and running is
2400w.

My home's 100A power panel is spread out pretty well where
each room
has its own 15A breaker which makes my transfer switch
wiring a
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
heating). This leaves 2 rooms for lighting which is the
most
miniscule part of my needs.

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