Transfer Switch FAQ's

What's the difference between interlock & transfer switch?

Interlocks:

  • Cheaper ($300-$500)

  • Require panel space

  • Manual operation only

Transfer switches:

  • Safer (isolated circuits)

  • Allow auto operation

  • More circuit options

Typical setups:

  • 6 circuits: Fridge, lights, outlets

  • 10 circuits: +AC, well pump, garage

  • 16 circuits: Whole-home coverage

They prevent:

  • $8k+ generator damage from wrong sequencing

  • Dangerous manual switching errors

  • Food/medicine loss during travel

Yes! We configure for:

  • Dual-fuel generators

  • Inverter generators

  • Older RV-style outlets

Our rule of thumb:

  • 6kw: Essentials only

  • 10kw: +1 AC zone

  • 22kw: Whole-home power
