Our Electrical Generating Systems Association–certified experts help customers find the right transfer switch based on starting watts, running watts, total watts, and site requirements.
Generator transfer switches improve safety and power control
Generator transfer switches improve safety by creating a safe, controlled connection between the utility service and a generator machine. By isolating utility power, they prevent backfeeding, which protects electrical equipment, utility workers, and buildings from carbon monoxide risks and electrical hazards.
This change in power source protects AC, lights, and other essential systems during outages. Whether installed at a home, recreational site, or large facility, a properly selected switch supports reliable operation while keeping people and property protected.
Manual and automatic options support different use cases
Manual transfer switches require the user to start the generator and make a physical change in the switch position, offering an easy and cost-effective solution for home backup and recreational use. Automatic transfer switches sense outages and restore power without user input, which is critical for big facilities where downtime affects comfort, operations, and safety.
We offer both options, giving buyers the flexibility to match their needs, budget, and operational risk. Each solution is equipped to support reliable performance across different environments.
Electrical ratings and configurations affect performance
Generator transfer switches are available in large and small amperage ratings to support everything from selected circuits to full-building loads.
Proper sizing based on running watts, starting watts, and total watts ensures stable power delivery and long life for connected equipment. We provide clear information and sizing support to help buyers select the correct configuration for their generator, reducing overload risk and ensuring systems work as intended over time.
Durable designs support long-term installations
Many generator transfer switches feature weather-resistant enclosures and service-rated designs that fit limited space or outdoor installations. These durable designs protect the internal box and components from moisture, dust, and heat, reducing maintenance requirements and extending product life. Whether supporting champion-grade generators or standard residential units, these switches are built to keep systems running reliably for years.
Informed selection delivers reliable backup power
Selecting the right generator transfer switch depends on generator size, power priorities, and how systems need to start and operate. Professional installation ensures code compliance and safe operation.
We offer ongoing support, from pre-sale guidance to after-sales service, helping customers add dependable backup solutions with confidence. With experienced experts, detailed information, and proven products, we help customers keep essential systems running and operations stable when outages occur.
