I have used Lenhart's, ECI. R&A and Galaxy, and would recommend in that order. Also, when you are installing the transfer switch, have an OUTSIDE connection installed for the generator, you do NOT want this inside the garage. If you are worried about it walking off, have a suitable anchor bolt and then you can use a chain and lock to secure the generator. In any case, you want a suitable way to connect the generator to the transfer switch without having the generator inside the garage or house.
