A home may need a refrigerator, while a business may need equipment that supports its operations. We recommend choosing those loads before selecting a switch, because the generator must support the equipment connected to it.

Questions about backup circuits and transfer switches

When scheduling Generator Transfer Switch Installation, can a transfer switch power my essential circuits?

a transfer switch can power essential circuits, including those protected by a circuit breaker, if the generator has enough capacity. Earth Electric works with you to identify the equipment you want to run. The generator's output and the equipment's power needs determine which circuits fit the plan.

How do I know which equipment to put on backup power?

Essential equipment is the equipment you need operating during an outage. Consider what matters to your household or business, such as refrigeration or equipment needed for business operations. We can discuss your priorities and assess their electrical demand before the switch plan is set.

What information should I have ready for a switch quote?

Generator details, panel access and your backup priorities help us prepare a quote.

Have the generator model information available if you already own one.
Identify the equipment you want to power.
Let us know where the electrical panel is located.

We use those details to understand the proposed work at your property.

Which part of the wiring changes the switch price?

The wiring route between the panel, switch and generator connection changes the scope and price. Access to those locations also affects the work. We'll assess the layout and explain the proposed connections in your quote, so you can see what the job covers before you decide.

When should I call about a burning smell at my panel?

A burning smell at an electrical panel calls for urgent attention because it can signal a fire risk. Keep away from the panel and don't touch it. If you see smoke or fire, leave the area and call emergency services. We provide emergency electrical repairs as well as transfer switch work.

Why can't I connect a generator directly to an outlet?

A direct outlet connection can send generator power into wiring beyond the intended circuits. A transfer switch separates the generator supply from utility power during transfer. We install the switch connection for the intended circuits and explain its operation, so you know how to use the backup setup.
