A transfer switch is the safe, code-required way to connect a generator to your home's electrical system. We install both manual and automatic transfer switches — properly sized for your generator and wired to the circuits that matter most to you.
Already have a standby generator or purchasing one? We handle the electrical connection — wiring the generator to your panel via an automatic transfer switch so it kicks on automatically the moment the power goes out.
We install generator inlets (interlock kits or inlet boxes) so you can safely connect your portable generator to your home's panel — powering your essential circuits without extension cords running through windows.
Before installing a transfer switch, we evaluate your existing panel to confirm it can safely support generator backup power. If an upgrade is needed first, we handle that too — all in one visit where possible.
Power outages cost businesses money. We install commercial generator transfer switches and emergency power systems for offices, retail, and light industrial facilities in Denver NC, Charlotte, and the Lake Norman area.
Generator electrical work requires permits in NC. We pull the permits, complete the installation to code, and coordinate the inspection — so your system is legal, safe, and won't cause problems with your homeowner's insurance.
Improperly connected generators can back-feed power into the grid — endangering utility workers and your neighbors. A properly installed transfer switch prevents this entirely.
NC electrical code requires permitted generator installations. Unpermitted work can void your homeowner's insurance and create problems when you sell your home.
We help you decide which circuits to back up — HVAC, refrigerator, sump pump, lights, medical equipment — so your generator isn't overloaded and your essentials stay on.
A bad generator hookup is dangerous. We do it right — proper transfer switch sizing, clean wiring, correct interlock, and a full inspection before we leave.
