Easy install

Would Recommend

The installation was quick and simple with everything labeled and good instructions but the kit doesn’t have a few items for complete install. The heavy 10/3 or 8/3 wire which I was aware wasn’t included but two 3/4 inch wire clamps for install the remote mounted exterior plug and fixing the heavy wire to the switch aren’t included (cheep items about a buck each) and required a second trip to Lowe’s otherwise would have given it 5 stars

great kit

Would Recommend

good instructions and easy to install. Plan on purchasing additionnal conduit and wire if you don't have your inlet plug co-located with the switch panel. I ran mine to an outside wall of the house away from living areas to minimize the sound from the generator. Great kit and a pretty easy installation process. Recommend having someone knowledgeable to double check your work.

Wonderful Product

Would Recommend

We had recently bought a Generac 8,000 generator at Lowes. We also purchased the transfer switch there. The electrician came this morning and hooked everything up. Everything went smoothly and the products are first-rate. I also went to Lowes this afternoon to get some instruction on a window blind that I bought at Lowes. I had three employees helping me. I shop Lowes regularly and have got to know some of the employees. I could not ask for better service. As I am a Vietnam Veteran, I ...

Easy to install and easy to use. Do some research on load balancing before you use to prevent overloading or damaging your generator. Lowe’s associates always helpful and courteous as usual!

Reliance 306LRK 6-Circuit Transfer Switch Kit P2

Would Recommend

Bought this at Lowes ( Not a problem with Lowes ). Had an electrician install it. Discovered that " circuit E " was non-functional next day. After extensive searching on various websites and forums for ideas as to what the problem is, located the problem. The red wire for circuit " E " was not attached to the proper corresponding toggle switch. This represents bad QC from the factory. If you find out that one circuit is not working, check the wiring behind the toggle switches. Otherwise, the tra...

Great product, quick install

Would Recommend

The product is great. The transfer switch works flawlessly. There was online videos to make the process easier. I would buy again but maybe 10 circuits instead of 6.

Using the DVDs before beginning the installation made for a fast and efficient installation. I would recommend getting the 10 circuit model for more diversity
