My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

transfer switch

13 years ago

I have a 20 amp coming from my generator. I want to hook it up to my 15 amp furnace.[15 amp breaker on main]. What size transfer switch should I use? 15 or 20 amp switch, or does it even matter?
