I live in St.Clair.Shores Michigan just off Lake St.Clair and the power goes out here all the time.
I installed a 100 amp transfer switch three years ago and it was money well spent. We don't have a huge house but the 6000 watt 8500 surge generator powers everything real nice.
I have a external plug on the house that i plug the generator extension cord to.
I think it cost me something like $250.00 dollars to make the 40 ft cord with the correct ends so that there wasn't any amp loss.
We had several times this last summer that power was out for 12 to 20 hrs and my central air worked just fine.
We bought our transfer swith at Home Depot for $300.00 dolars and it has dual meters on it so you don't over load one bank over the other with things running in the house.
As a matter of fact we just bought another transfer switch for my parents for Christmas.
