At Maverick Electric, Heating & Air, we specialize in generator transfer switch installation to ensure seamless backup power during outages. A transfer switch is a critical component that safely connects your home generator to your electrical system, allowing you to power essential appliances, HVAC systems, and lighting without the risk of overloading circuits or backfeeding power to the grid.

What Is a Generator Transfer Switch?

A generator transfer switch is an electrical device installed between your home’s electrical panel and the generator. When a power outage occurs, the transfer switch automatically or manually transfers the electrical load from the main utility to the backup generator. Once power is restored, the switch returns the load to the utility grid.

Benefits of Installing a Transfer Switch:

Safety: Prevents electrical backfeed, protecting utility workers and your home.
Convenience: Automatically switches between utility and generator power without manual intervention.
Efficiency: Powers your HVAC system, lights, and appliances without overloading circuits.
Compliance: Meets local building codes for generator installations.

Why Do You Need a Transfer Switch?

Without a transfer switch, connecting a generator to your home’s electrical system can be dangerous and illegal in many regions. A properly installed transfer switch from Maverick Electric, Heating & Air ensures that your backup generator functions efficiently and safely during power outages. It also simplifies the process of switching to backup power, giving you peace of mind in emergencies.

Types of Transfer Switches:

• Automatic Transfer Switch (ATS): Automatically transfers power from the utility to the generator during an outage.
• Manual Transfer Switch: Requires the homeowner to manually switch to generator power when an outage occurs.
