Generator Transfer Switches and Panels in Tampa & Hillsborough County, FL
The part that links a generator to your house safely.
A transfer switch connects a generator to your electrical panel. Ask an electrician to explain what it does for your setup. It is a core part of the job, not an extra.
HomeGuide says a generator interlock lets a portable generator connect to the panel without a transfer switch. Ask an electrician which fits your setup.
Some standby units come with a switch built in. Ask if yours does before you pay for a second one.
