  • Awesome video, anytime you are using a small power source or even solar power or home battery backup the one thing you have to ensure is that if the grid power goes off that electricity does not go back out onto the grid power lines so that the electrical workers that are working downed power lines or a bad transformer are safe and do not get shocked.

    WAGO lever nuts are great at mixing stranded and solid core wire.
  • @MrPoppyDuck
    Thanks for a great video! I installed one of those on my boiler thanks to one of your videos and now have heat when the power goes out. 😊
  • @earlkarp4142
    I installed one of these at my electric panel which is outside. I love it! The hardest part was trying to figure out the corresponding neutral wire for the furnace circuit as all my wires disappear into the brick behind the panel.
  • I bought one but then realized I would need to pull a permit to get it installed & inspected. Another $80. I instead just added a connector inside my furnace that is discreet & that I can tie my inverter into. I use a 2200 watt inverter & connected the neutral & ground at the inverter to elimate the floating ground. A power strip also allows me to power the freezer in the garage or any other appliance with a extension cord.
  • Another great review. Thank you for sharing a way top power our most important equipment.
  • @406Campr
    Much better video with clear instructions. Thanks!
  • @Hybridog
    I think your video caused the switch to become sold out! Right now only available direct from the company website. gonna put one on my gas heater as soon as I can get one. Thanks for the video!
  • This is pretty cool, but I just ended up cutting the romex to my hvac and adding a receptacle on the breaker side, and a male plug on the furnace side. During normal operation, the furnace is simply plugged into the receptacle, completing the original circuit, but during a power outage, I can unplug the furnace and plug it into an extension cord going to my generator.
  • @jeanlawson9133
    You can also solder the stranded wire before attaching and applying wire nut...
  • @johnzhang3285
    Great video! Could you do a short video on how to install a furnace stand box?
  • @bjoburn7821
    Thanks for Amazon item promotional How come Electricians don't do this? Or even know this?
  • @rw4669
    Great video, as usual.
  • @chuckhall5347
    This is a great project and I plan to do this or a transfer switch. Why not use lever nuts instead of wire nuts? Especially when connecting solid to stranded wire.
  • @curiousottman
    Seems fairly straight forward. I’m curious how many watts that gas furnace draws when running? Blower motor and all.
  • @BobDobbs681
    My old millivolt gas boiler works when the power is out. The circulator pump doesn't work but water flows by convection.
  • @bakmak8199
    I just installed one of these and I love it, but instead of getting my generator out to test the switch I just ran an extension cord from my sump pump since that plug was still hot. I have my generator running like a top so I know everything’s ready for a power outage. But if I hadn’t seen one of your previous videos I never would’ve known this product existed. I thought about using the cheaper method of wiring a cord to the furnace but I needed something my wife could easily understand 😊 Thanks for your videos!
