Installation of a generator for a house.

Tomgunn
Hello all,


I'm moving house, (been here for over 42 years'!!), and one of the first items on my mind is installing an electrical generator.


SO; I guess there will be contactors / switch gear etc as I would like it to be 'automatic', (OR, maybe 'manual' too), changing from incoming to the generator.


a; What would be the best type of generator to purchase? Load wise? I'm not too worried as the bigger the load the bigger the           generator would need to be as long as I could run the basics within the house.


b; What switch gear would be appropriate?


I would't fancy the idea of switching tails around on a Henley block each time I needed the generator to be in use!!


Thanks, in advance!


regards... Tom

    Been up/down good old Sutton bank a time or two, nice run out from Pendle hill area on way to Whitby/Scarborough area.


    Happy New Year everbody


     




    Happy New Year to everyone!! Hope all goes well, too!


    BTW, my daughter lives up there, Pendle Hill area, and she's snowed in, (in Fence), after moving from Nelson / Barrowford but she's a London girl. I use CEF's, and they take the mickey out of me being from that 'London' area but, I made a big mistake telling them that I was born in YORKSHIRE, duh! ?


    Once again, many thanks for an amazing response towards a required generator!!


    Best of luck!!
