The ‘Generac’ automatic TRANSFER SWITCH below our electric panel.
N.B. Two MANUAL transfer switches for the portable generators.
YES, I am still keeping those. I will continue to have THREE (3) generators.

Again we had two crews (& hence 2 trucks). Given the non-stop rain they erected this CUTE pop-up tent by the Generac so that they could be relatively dry.

Moriarty Electric Co.‘ in ‘Eliot’, Maine, always had it has a 3-day job. I was told this upfront. So, no surprises. Just as expected.

All has gone swimmingly. Very happy, so far.

Tomorrow is supposed to be the FINAL day. Getting the propane hooked up so that it can be started.

Today was electrical. Two electricians & their apprentices. Very impressed.

They were here for less than 6 hours.

More importantly, they only turned off the power, while they made the requisite electrical connections, for less than 40 minutes. WOW. We were happy. Minimal disruption.

Fingers crossed. Having this will be a relief.
