  • 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

  • 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
