G-Benz, wiring is easy! 4 in and 4 out and some low voltage control. I've seen the work you've done with stereo installs and you could do it!

How does that transfer switch work?
It appears to be a type of whole house transfer where the load is either fully on the generator or fully on the utility............quite different than the "traditional" transfer switch that provides six or ten circuits with individual breakers that interrupt power from the main panel.
If this transfer switch does have the incoming lines from the street routed directly to it, how did you make the connections to those lines in the existing house panel?
I'm thinking about a similar setup and I don't have what I consider a clean method of extending the existing lines that enter the main panel.
