Questions about transfer switches and backup power

Why is my transfer switch not supplying power?

Voltage loss can stop a transfer switch from supplying power, but the cause needs diagnosis. Earth Electric troubleshoots the switch and its connected equipment to find the source of the problem. A breaker or a connection could be involved. Tell us which circuits lost power and what the switch was doing when you noticed the problem.

How does a manual switch differ from an automatic switch?

A manual switch requires someone to change the power source, while an automatic switch controls that change automatically. The right choice depends on your generator and how you plan to use backup power. We discuss the controls with you as part of the setup. Your generator's specifications also matter when we assess the switch.

What details should I have ready for an estimate?

Generator details and your planned backup circuits give us a starting point for an estimate. A photo of the panel and its labels can also help us understand your setup. Tell us where the generator and panel are located. We'll discuss access and any further assessment needed for your quote.

When is a panel upgrade needed for backup power?

A panel upgrade may be needed if the existing panel can't accommodate the proposed connection. The panel's condition and available space are part of that decision. We assess the panel before recommending the scope. A transfer switch installation doesn't automatically mean the panel needs replacement.

Which safety steps matter if I smell burning near the panel?

A burning smell near the panel can signal a fire risk, so keep away from the equipment. We handle electrical troubleshooting, but don't open the panel or touch its wiring. If you see smoke or fire, leave the area and call emergency services. Tell us about the smell when you request electrical help.
