The Benefits of a Interlock or Manual Transfer Switch for Using a Portable Generator For Emergency Power

Interlock or Manual Transfer Switches are Cost Effective Alternatives to a Standby Generator like a Generac.

Home Standby Generators like a Generac are excellent products, however they are very costly between the natural gas line, extensive modifications to your existing electrical panel, and the regular maintainance that must be performed on them.

Utilizing an Interlock or Manual Transfer Switch with your Portable Generator is a cost effective way to provide emergency power to your home. These can be installed by a licensed electrical contractor at a fraction of the cost that a Standby Generac would cost with much of the same benefits.

Benefits of an Interlock or Manual Transfer Switch

Utilizing an Interlock or Manual Transfer Switch allows you to safely & code compliantly power the essential items in your home during a power outage. The items include, but are not limited to the following: Refrigerator, Freezer, Gas Furnace, Sump Pump, Well Pump, Septic, Internet, General Lighting, Ceiling Fans.

Another major benefit to an Interlock or Manual Transfer Switch system is that the Portable Generator being used to power the home during a power outage can easily be replaced if it stops working properly or you decide to upgrade to a better portable Generator. Full Standby Generators are not easily replaceable & require a licensed electrical contractor to replace at high cost.
