Why Do You Need a Generator Transfer Switch?

​

A transfer switch is legally required when installing a generator because it prevents electricity from backfeeding into the grid. Without it, power from your generator could flow back to utility lines, creating a dangerous situation for workers and homeowners. Additionally, a transfer switch prevents generator overload by ensuring that only designated circuits receive power.

Installing a transfer switch offers several benefits, including:

​

• Safety – Eliminates the risk of electrical backfeed, reducing hazards.

• Efficiency – Allows seamless power transitions during outages.

• Code Compliance – Meets legal requirements for home generator installations.

• Convenience – Ensures your generator functions properly when needed.

Automatic vs. Manual Transfer Switch: Which One Is Right for You?

When installing a generator transfer switch, you can choose between an automatic transfer switch (ATS) and a manual transfer switch:

• Automatic Transfer Switch (ATS) – Detects power loss and automatically switches your home to generator power without manual intervention.

• Manual Transfer Switch – Requires the homeowner to manually activate the generator when power is lost, providing more control over energy usage.

Depending on your electrical panel setup, the switch can be installed either directly onto the panel or positioned adjacent to it. Additionally, transfer switches can be customized to supply power only to essential circuits, optimizing generator efficiency during extended outages.
