We have a 10kW Generac standby with a whole house transfer switch (200 amp) installed by the utility panel in the house. This generator has been installed since 2015 without any issues.
We are looking to move the location of the generator to a updated location (original location is no longer acceptable) and inquired about having the generator moved. We were told that this generator was lacking the required "primary disconnect" on the outside of the house and quoted in the $12K + range to do this relocation. My research seems to show that this generator does not require a primary disconnect. Is this information correct for West Michigan codes and/or would us moving the generator usually classify as a "new install?"
