Transfer Switch Installations by Lakewood Electrical
At Lakewood Electrical, we specialize in professional transfer switch installations for both residential and commercial properties. Our expert team of certified electricians ensures a seamless and safe installation process that allows you to transition to backup power with ease during outages.
What is a Transfer Switch?
A transfer switch is an essential component for any backup power system, allowing the transfer of electrical load from the main power source to a backup generator. It provides a safe and efficient way to switch sources and ensures that critical appliances and systems remain operational during power outages.
Types of Transfer Switches:
- Manual Transfer Switches: These require a physical action to transfer the power feed. Ideal for small properties or where loads are simple and the switch to backup power is infrequent.
- Automatic Transfer Switches (ATS): Automatically detect power loss and initiate the transfer to backup power without user intervention, perfect for businesses and homes where uninterrupted power is crucial.

- Ensures compliance with local electrical codes and safety standards to prevent hazards.
- Expert assessment of your power needs to recommend the right type and size of the transfer switch.
