Transfer Switches

Home stand-by transfer switches are crucial safety devices that automatically switch your home's electrical supply from the utility grid to a generator during a power outage. They sense the outage, start the generator, and isolate your home from the grid, ensuring safe power to essential circuits. When power is restored, they switch back to the grid and shut down the generator.

Generac Homelink Manual Transfer Switch


A Generac Homelink Manual Transfer Switch makes it easy to switch from utility power to a generator. Just press the One Touch transfer button—no more struggling with breakers! The indicator lights show if you're using generator or utility power, so you always know what's running. An electrician installs the switch next to your breaker panel and connects up to 10 circuits, like your microwave, furnace, and sump pump. It works with a portable generator, and you can upgrade to an automatic transfer switch anytime without extra hassle. With Generac, you stay powered and worry-free during outages!


Symphony II Power Management


When the power goes out, you need a generator that works smart, not just big. Briggs & Stratton’s Symphony II Power Management makes sure your home gets power where you need it most. Instead of shutting everything down or blocking certain appliances, this system prioritizes your power needs. For example, if you’re cooking and doing laundry, it pauses the laundry so you can use the oven, then switches back when you're done. Other generators either overload and shut off or won’t let you turn on extra appliances. Why pay more for a bulky generator when you can get a smarter, more efficient one with Briggs & Stratton?

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I really need a transfer switch for my generator?

Yes, if you’re using a standby or portable generator for home backup power. A transfer switch makes it easy and safe to power your home’s circuits without running extension cords all over the place.

How does a transfer switch work?

When your power goes out, the switch detects it and automatically turns on your generator (if it's an automatic transfer switch). It then transfers power from the generator to your home. Once the grid power is back, it switches everything back and shuts off the generator..

What’s the difference between a manual and automatic transfer switch?

A manual transfer switch requires you to flip a switch to change power sources. An automatic transfer switch (ATS) does it for you as soon as the power goes out.

Can I install a transfer switch myself?

It’s best to hire a licensed electrician. Transfer switches involve working with high voltage, and improper installation can be dangerous.

How long does a transfer switch last?

A well-maintained transfer switch can last 20+ years. Just check it occasionally and keep it free from dust and moisture.
