Why Do I Need A Transfer Switch?

First of all, having a transfer switch in your home is a requirement of the National Electric Code. It is recommended to use a transfer switch whenever you want to connect an appliance to your portable generator.

Besides, installing a transfer switch in your home is the most efficient way of powering your home during a power outage. It is also the safest since most electrical appliances such as furnaces and air conditioning units cannot be connected directly to a portable generator using an extension cord.
