Generac 7000 50 Amp Load Manager - Efficient Load Prioritization and Wire-Free Technology for Reliable Power Management - Lock-Feature and LED Status Display for Convenient Operation - Gray

Works grate and was a lot cheaper than the 200 dollars the repair man wanted. I installed this myself but recommend using a qualified installer!

Dryer GENERAC relay went bad. Same replacement. Worked great and saved more than half the money of the last time it went bad and back up generator installer fixed it. All the modules are terribly made. Too hot all the time. Maybe make the housing with vents all over. Hey this works and saves money of someone else doing it.

The five stars is also how easy it is to swap out the top board. Took about 5 min. to swap out the top board. Total job with waiting the delay for ac to come back on was about 15 min. Diagnostics previous day was probably about 15 min to see the light wasn't on and check for power at the incoming connections. If it was hot we would have jumpered around the unit until the new board came. They should sell these boards separately considering how often they go out based on the other reviews. This is our first failure and it was at about 3 yrs since install. 1st pic. old board with burn mark on the back of it. 2nd pic. front of old board where you can see dark area around likely failed component.

I am a master electrician and electrical engineer. I bought and installed my own Generac Standby Generator for my home as the companies wanted 3 times what you can install it for yourself. I went to my local city, pulled a homeowners electrical AND plumbing permit for the gas line. The gas line was so simple it was silly. When installing a residential generator, buyers need to understand that the largest for the general public is 26,000 watts, because the larger ones make far too much noise. 26,000 watts is usually not large enough to handle a large home like mine (3500 sq ft). You must turn in a load calculation to get an electrical permit and the load on my home was 40,000 watts. This does not mean the generator will not work. You just have to LOAD SHED some of the most non-used, high wattage items inside the home to get the load down to 26,000 watts. Generac invented this Load Shed Controller. You install this inline with whatever you want to shed to pass inspection. I installed 3 of them. One on my 8000 watt wall oven that we never turn on. One on my 5000 watt dryer that does not need to be used during power outages. One on my 3000 watt garage air conditioner as I want to keep my garage cool. Once these are installed, when the generator turns on from a power outage, these 3 items remain OFF. But only for 5 minutes each. You choose which one is most important and dial it in as #1 on this unit. After 5 minutes, it turns on. If everything is working well and the generator does not have too much of a load, then it turns on #2, and so on. If all of the Load Shed boxes are ON, and the generator detects too much of a load, it starts turning these boxes OFF, one at a time in reverse order. It may only turn off 1 of them and the generator is happy and stops turning off anything else. This controller is amazing and the only way to shed a load from a larger home when installing a generator system

This part saved me several hundred dollars in repairs costs. These are notorious for melting down and was not covered under warranty for us. Got tired of waiting for the service provider to contact us because it was causing the AC not to work in 90 degree heat, so I ordered this and installed it myself after a lot of research. If you are comfortable disconnecting and reconnecting some wires, it only takes a few minutes to install. I removed the insides and reused the existing housing. It has been working fine after a few months. May order another one as a spare.

Easy to install if you take safety precautions s (shut off electric to item). I replaced on a a/c unit. Another one was replaced by a tech. When I saw how easy it was I did the next one. If you have a generator and the a/c, electric oven, etc. does not work first thing to check is this switch. No red light means no power to the switch. The switch has been upgraded.

The board on these seem to go every so often- wish they would just sell the board as it can be swapped out fast and easy. Have several of these on our whole house setup- they work well for being able to run the whole house off a generator by managing the loads. Just that we are on our 3rd one in 5 years the boards seem to go right at where the power supply is. These newer ones seem to be lasting longer.

Solved my issue

This is a great device if shut down of large appliances is needed when running a genny that will not support the load. Install was very straight forward and easy to understand and do. Have a 11kw generac house backup gen, recently installed a heat pump and the genny was not able to keep up to the demand. Works perfectly for a year now with multiple power outages.

The Generac 7000 50 Amp transfer switch is an excellent investment if you want reliability, high capacity, and peace of mind during a power outage.

J'ai acheté 3 modules identiques pour faire du délestage sur la distribution électrique de la maison,sur des charges électriques importantes (2 chauffe-eau et le chauffage de mon garage) lors du fonctionnement de ma génératrice Générac 22kW.

The product was reasonably priced. Delivered in a very timely fashion. Product was easy to install & no control wiring to transfer switch as units work off of frequency.

If you install Generac generators, these are reliable and a good price
