What Is a Transfer Switch?
A transfer switch is an electrical device that allows you to safely disconnect your home from the utility power grid and connect it to a backup generator. Without a transfer switch, connecting a generator directly to your home’s wiring is extremely dangerous — it can cause backfeed, which can electrocute utility workers and damage your home’s electrical system.
Whether you’re preparing for storms, grid outages, or power disruptions, a properly installed transfer switch ensures your generator powers your home safely. The Original Evans Air Conditioning, Plumbing and Electrical installs both manual and automatic transfer switches throughout East Texas.
Why You Need a Transfer Switch in East Texas
Here in East Texas, we face frequent lightning storms, power outages from the utility grid, and hurricane-strength winds. These unpredictable weather events can leave your family without power for hours or even days. A transfer switch is the safest and most reliable way to connect your backup generator to your home when that happens. Without one, you risk:
- Dangerous backfeed that can injure or kill utility workers restoring power
- Damage to your generator and home’s electrical system
- Voiding your homeowner’s insurance due to non-code-compliant connections
- Risk of electrocution from improper generator hookup
- Power disruptions to critical circuits like medical equipment or refrigeration
A properly installed transfer switch eliminates these risks and gives you peace of mind every time the power goes out.
