Finally got the EMS

After much research
, and thought, and worry about the humming noise, I ordered the Progressive industries hardwired 30amp EMS. I found a place outside Of The RV in the electrical bay where it should fit. So even if it does hum, I wouldn't be able to hear it

  • I wish I could put it under the bed closer to the electrical center, and after the auto transfer switch but, I'm not too worried about the generator causing problems.

    I have been using that same unit since 2008. It is in its second RV as I type this. It has saved us multiple times.

    This is old and not true,it has been discussed here many times and I have called the company about it and here is the Warranty.

    Limited Lifetime Warranty
    Our Lifetime Warranty covers only
    Progressive Industries workmanship, internal electronics and
    parts & materials contained within the unit housing. Any and all damage to the outside of the unit is not covered.
    External damage is typically associated with a poor connection between your RV or our EMS/SSP units and a power cord. The Lifetime Warranty
    does not cover labor or shipping charges.

    Our Lifetime Warranty is exclusive to Progressive Industries and is granted in lieu of all other express or implied
    warranties, obligations or liabilities.
    This is a non-transferable Lifetime Warranty.It applies only to the original owner and covers only those
    products purchased from an authorized dealer, retailer, or seller.
    This warranty covers manufacturer
    defects in materials and workmanship.
    A proof of purchase is required for all warranty claims.
    The follow are excluded and not covered by the Lifetime
    Warranty and/or void the Lifetime
    Warranty.
    Improper installation of a hard wired unit
    We strongly recommend that a competent electrical
    professional perform the installation of hard wired units.

    Products installed or used in an application other than an RV

    Products operated outside systems compatible and compliant with RV surge protectors.
    Products used in a manner inconsistent with the operating instructions
    Use of replacement parts or accessories that are non-compliant with Progressive Industries specifications

    I installed mine as instructed in the Company Video and the tech I talked to said that it would be covered,I have had no problems except the failure of the remote unit,which they agreed that there were problems with the older units. They sent me a free replacement overnight.
