    • Saved my family during Hurricane Sandy
I ordered this product on Friday night, received it on Saturday, installed on Sunday, and Hurricane Sandy came on Monday. The hurricane left us without power for 7 days and we would not have been able to survive without this device! It was VERY easy to install based on the instructions it came with (I also watched some online videos just to make sure I was doing it correctly). The Reliance Control switch was very simple to use and completely powered my furnace for the entire week that we were left without power. After it is installed - for operation you leave the device on "line" when the house has power and when the power goes out - flip the switch to "Gen" after the generator is plugged in. That's it. By comparison, the year before we were left without power during the October snowstorm ("Snowtober"). We did not have this device and relied on our generator and a small space heater to heat our living room. The space heater guzzled the gas in the generator and BARELY created enough heat in the room to be noticeable. We were miserable. With the gas crisis that we experienced after Hurricane Sandy, the Reliance Control switch was a miracle. It hardly used any gasoline to power the thermostat and ignite the natural gas burner that heats the house (through radiators). We had friends staying with us because we had heat and felt guilty for those that were left cold (some of our friends house temperatures dipped into the 40s after a week - but we were toasty in our house, which was in the 70s). I cannot recommend this device enough. I suggested it to everyone I know after the storm. It is a must have if you experience power outages during cold seasons. The switch is easily powered by a small generator and only requires a regular extension cord that runs from the generator to the switch (you don't need a special cord - just a regular 3 prong extension cord (2 prongs + 1 ground). Based on my experience and the comfort it brought to my family and friends, I would have paid double for it. ... show more

    • Great Device, Great Company, Great Customer Service
First, I have to say Reliance provides just about the best telephone customer service support I have ever received. They were accessible several times, long after I had the unit pro-installed when I had questions about how to use it. I cannot think of a firm that does better to help the owner with their product. The device itself is sturdy, small, simple and appears well made, I think in the US. Now, on to the "What you need to know before you buy this unit" portion: It's designed for a floating-neutral generator, such as an inverter-generator or a device that will get it's ground from the house's transfer switch/circuit box. If you have a bonded neutral generator, that is not the right device for a transfer switch. Many places on the web say "do not open up your inverter to change things". Also, if you have a fire/disaster at home and a modified / non NEC code situation was working at the time, you could be in big trouble - no insurance claim etc. If you do not know about bonded and floating neutral differences, research that before going ahead with your gen purchase or the TF purchase. What I wanted was to use a high quality inverter (the kind you plug into a bank of batteries or your car's battery) to power my house's furnace through the Transfer switch. This is NOT possible with my inverter because it supplies part of the 120vac on the neutral wire and part on the hot wire. It did have a floating neutral -- but that was not enough. The inverter/generator shuts down when plugged into the TF-151w, which has been verified to be correctly installed (neutral and ground connected to the ground bar on the breaker box, red to the 15a fuse breaker circuit and black in the wire nut with other black wires. The situation was described to me as "the inverter is trying to backfeed current to the neutral wire, which, in the house is grounded. Unfortunately, Reliance does not make a transfer switch that switches neutral AND hot that would work. They do make a product (TF-152) but their engineer told the CSR that it is not designed to have split 120vac on both the hot and the neutral, so it will not work. Anyway, I'm disappointed that my inverter will not be able to power my house furnace circuit according to code, but at least I have a good transfer switch installed for a normal portable generator (that supplies no VAC on the neutral wire AND is floating neutral) like the Honda EU 2200i or the Harbor Freight Predator 2200, both of which Consumer Reports likes for small, quiet generator usage with a home in a power outage. And, I have a nice inverter that I can use to power things from my car - but not home circuits! And, no I didn't receive anything from the company for this review... ... show more

    • Works, instructions could be a bit more complete
We had a 4 day power outage, long enough for me to order this and get it installed before the power came back on (Thanks Amazon Prime!). We were not going to die but the house did get down into the low 40's and was still dropping. Well worth the investment just in case you lose power in the winter. The instructions are aimed at installing this on your electrical panel although it can be hooked up directly to the furnace, If you are going that route, there may be other boxes that are a bit easier and have clearer instructions for that. I installed this in the dark which added a bit of time but it still o only took about 30 minutes. It did take me a bit to figure out how to connect the wires to the plug and get that into the box as it comes uninstalled and without any instructions and no markings I could see (at least by flashlight). Once that was done, the actual instructions to wire it up to the panel were very complete. (Instructions on how to hook it up at the furnace if you go that route are a bit less complete). I would not normally mess with the electrical panel but since there was no power within 2 miles of me, I decided to try it and it was a very easy install. 4 wires and the instructions on that were super clear (plus there are some YouTube videos available too). If the power was on, I would have called an electrician for this just because you do have to open the panel up and it is possible to kill yourself in there ;-) But after doing it, it is certainly doable for a careful, brave DIYer with some basic wiring skills. I knocked it down from 5 - 4 because the plug is not pre-installed like the picture and there are no instructions on this but the thing works perfectly once it is hooked up.. ... show more

    • Reliance Controls TF151W Easy/Tran Single-Circuit 15 Amp Furnace Generator Transfer Switch
We have lost power for more than a day in the past and I learned that being without heat quickly becomes the first priority to fix in the winter. My furnace runs on propane, heating water that runs through radiators. An electrician tested it and we found that it draws a maximum of three amps, so this single circuit 15 amp switch is the perfect answer. The electrician installed it in about half an hour to my old electrical (screw in fuses) panel. I immediately tried running my furnace with a deep cycle battery - that I recharge with a few solar panels - through an inverter, and it worked great. I tested it with my 2300 watt generator and it ran perfectly. The generator hardly notices the load and since the furnace goes on and off to maintain the heat, it is even less of a strain and the generator runs longer. With no power and this small 110v generator, I don't have any water pump (220V) so I don't know how long this would work without a water supply for the furnace but I'm looking into that soon. I have a shallow well and might be able to run a little sump pump to the furnace if we lost power for a long time. ... show more

    • Great simple product, easy, and it works
I installed this next to my elec panel so I could power a generator (OK, actually an inverter) to keep my heating system electronics and circulator pumps going during a power loss. Easy to wire, everything included. Looks very professional -- I had thought of doing some hack like this in the past, but this is definitely the right way to do it. It will add value to your house without raising the ire of future inspectors. BTW for the invertor hookup, I also got this: Leviton 4937 Weatherproof Inlet on Flush Mount Wallplate with Aluminum Cover, Straight Blade Receptacle, Gray to create a passthrough from the outside to the inside. Then just a regular single elec output on the inside of the basement to run an extension cord to this transfer switch. ... show more

    • Works well, easy to install
I purchased this to run an oil fired hot water radiation furnace during a power outage (we've had a few lately). Easy to install and operate. (I tested it using the generator - luckily, no power outages since it was installed - but now it's always ready, and fast to go to generator power). One thing I really liked - The plug in on the front is optional. You can hard wire the transfer switch to an inlet out doors, so you don't have to run your extension cord in through a window. Definitely would recommend this product. Update- following questions posted to me - This transfer switch does not switch the neutral wire. This is not a problem UNLESS your generator has the neutral bonded to the ground. Most don't - but do check yours. ... show more

    • Great for connecting my furnace to my generator.
I wanted a safe way to connect my small 2500 watt generator to my furnace. This fit the bill perfectly. This was easy to wire in and I now only have to run a standard electrical extension cord from my generator into my basement window and plug into this device to power my forced air furnace. No more cold nights for us when the power goes out. I also like the peace of mind of having a switch to change from generator to street power so when the street power does comes back on my generator is safe and won't get destroyed. ... show more

Before purchasing this product I asked amazon if this would 100% prevent backfeeding. In there responce I was told they didn't know, but if I purchased it and found it would not I could return it.... Im sending it back as I type. This box would work without needing a whole house disconnect if the switch was a 2 pole 3 position switch, IT IS NOT. The switch only switches the black (hot) wire, all the white (common) wires are "wire nuted" together. I would say to check with your local code inspector before purchasing, this wont work for me but thats not to say it wont for you. ... show more
