⚡ What is a Generator Transfer Switch?

A transfer switch allows you to safely switch between utility power and generator power without the risk of backfeeding into the grid.

Why is this important?
✔ Prevents dangerous power surges when switching power sources
✔ Ensures code compliance (required by NEC for permanent generators)
✔ Allows safe operation of essential appliances during outages
✔ Eliminates the need for extension cords and risky manual hookups

✔ Generator Lockout Kits

A generator lockout kit ensures that your portable generator cannot backfeed power into the grid, preventing serious electrical hazards and compliance issues. We install:
✔ Interlock kits for breaker panels
✔ Custom lockout solutions for portable generators
✔ Code-compliant safety mechanisms

🚀 A lockout kit is a cost-effective way to connect a portable generator safely—ask us for details!
