Transfer Switch Installation

The electricians in our network handle the full job: sizing the switch to your generator, wiring it into your panel, installing the generator inlet, and running a load calculation so the right circuits are covered. They install manual and automatic switches, pull the permits, and test the system before they leave. You get backup power that is safe, code-compliant, and ready for the next outage.

A transfer switch ties directly into your main panel, where a wiring mistake risks dangerous backfeed to the utility line or a failed inspection. This is a job for a licensed electrician who knows local code and how to size everything correctly. The electricians we work with do it safely and stand behind the work.

Most installs land between 600 and 2,000 dollars, with the final price depending on the switch type, your generator size, and how much wiring is needed between the panel and the inlet. A simple manual switch sits at the lower end, while a whole-house automatic switch runs higher. Your electrician gives you a clear quote up front so there are no surprises.
