I do not. I can sell you you and drop ship and provide you some advice to install yourself but it won’t save much. If you need a 26kW I have a unit I can drop ship to you with a great deal. Feel free to email me with whatever you need or questions.

I’m an electrical contractor and to be honest it will probably be as much work as installing a new line. You’ll have to likely move that breaker to the top of the panel for the interlock and splice the wire where the charger was.

I don’t think you’ll save much. Feel free to email me at homeimpbydl@gmail.com.

If this is a newer tv, it is light, and the mount doesn’t have much adjustment(ie doesn’t pull more than 6 inches out creating a ton of leverage) stick 6 zip toggles in it and call it a day. I’ve run into a fireplace or 2 with weird framing.

Don’t ever do this on a heavy TV or an articulating mount!!!!!

ETA: professional AV companies use these in case anyone thinks I’m nuts

LOL that’s the world we live in today.

I noticed one Gage install and then it made me look at all the Cummins and 3 out of 3 that I’ve seen, plus the one posted here are bad.

It’s a lower standard of work than I see a lot of the other installs done to….also likely some code violations. That PVC should be supported every 5 feet and within 3 feet of entry to each box. It shouldn’t have to be hidden by anything.

To each his own but that wouldn’t work for me.

Yeah I would never install that sagging piece of PVC or liquid tight….looks like hammered dog poo. Gas line also looks lazily run and should have went underground until it was close to the inlet.
The way they placed so much of it above grade it’s begging to be hit.


It’s something about where gage places the switch boxes and makes some awkward connections/piping to them. They look horrid. It takes accuracy and a little effort to make it clean. I also see code violations when I look up close at my neighbors. There should be lockrings on the side entry to prevent rain water and there are none. I get wanting a Cummins, but those installs are terrible.

Do not use Gage, their installs look very messy. Whoever did the Generacs in my hood looks to do a good job. Are you open to Briggs and Stratton? I just became a dealer and have some great offers to purchase my first 2 units and they have the best warranty. I have a 26kW 10 year warranty unit with free shipping and transfer switch that I can offer for 8k(not installed) including tax. I can also install and I’m picky about how install them. Also, there are load management systems designed to run your whole home on smaller units. Basically, the ac’s are last priority. So if you are drying clothes, when the dryer stops an ac will come on. Aren’t you doing a new build or remodel? Email me at homeimpbydl@gmail.com and I’ll
Give you my number and even if you aren’t interested in Briggs I can tell
You what to look out for.

It looks like you are building a new house. You need to pick a unit and get the switch and have the electrician install it with your meter and panel. That will reduce the costs a lot and create the cleanest install only requiring a nipple from the meter to the switch externally. Inside the wall would be the nipple from the switch directly to your panel.

I do…I also ceramic coated it myself and it makes it very easy to wash….most of the water comes off with my blower and it’s easy to dry

Are you in Houma? I heard Lafourche requires an extra emergency stop on the transfer switch box.

My house was built in 2023 but Ascension parish was still on 2020 NEC. I had to seperate grounds and neutrals in my main and add surge protection.

The only thing that caught me off guard was only my hallways had the combination smoke/co detectors. I didn’t realize my bedrooms were all smoke only and so I had to spend 280 on 4 detectors.
