Generator Transfer Switch Installation in Rockwall, TX

A transfer switch is the critical safety device that properly connects your generator to your home's electrical system — and safely isolates your home from the utility grid during generator operation. Without one, you're either using dangerous extension cords or risking back-feeding the utility grid, which can kill utility workers.

Paramount Electric installs both automatic transfer switches (for standby generators) and manual transfer switches (for portable generator connections) throughout Rockwall County.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Is a transfer switch required by code in Texas?

Yes. Connecting a generator directly to your home's wiring without a proper transfer switch is a serious safety violation and code violation. A transfer switch is legally required for any generator connection to your home's wiring.

What is the difference between an automatic and manual transfer switch?

An automatic transfer switch (ATS) detects outages and switches to the generator without your involvement — standard for standby generators. A manual transfer switch requires you to physically move a switch, but is a safe, proper way to connect a portable generator to specific circuits.

Can I add more circuits to my existing manual transfer switch?

It depends on the transfer switch's capacity. Some manual transfer switches can be expanded. Call us for an assessment of your existing equipment.
