Generator Hookup and Transfer Switches
Reader Electric installs transfer switches for portable and standby generators, so you can power your home during an outage safely.
Why a transfer switch matters
- It keeps generator power from feeding back into the utility lines.
- It lets you pick which circuits run during an outage.
- It replaces extension cords run through windows and doors.
Portable or standby
- Portable generators: a transfer switch and an inlet so you plug in at one spot outside.
- Standby generators: the switch that ties a permanent unit into your panel.
- Written quote first, permits pulled, inspection scheduled.
