What is a Generator Transfer Switch?

A generator transfer switch is an electrical device that safely transfers the power load from the utility grid to your generator during an outage. Without a transfer switch, manually connecting a generator to your home’s electrical system can be dangerous and result in electrical hazards or damage. Installing a transfer switch streamlines the process and allows your generator to power essential appliances automatically.

Why Install a Transfer Switch?

• Safety: Avoid dangerous backfeeding that can harm utility workers or damage your electrical system.
• Convenience: Automatically switch to backup power without needing manual intervention.
• Power Management: Direct power to critical appliances like HVAC systems, refrigerators, or medical equipment.
• Compliance: Ensure that your generator setup meets electrical codes and regulations.

Types of Generator Transfer Switches

• Manual Transfer Switches: Require manual activation to switch from utility power to generator power.
