Yes, transfer switch installation requires an electrical permit in all Orange County jurisdictions, including Newport Beach, Irvine, and Mission Viejo. We handle all permitting and inspection coordination as part of our service at no additional charge, ensuring your installation is fully code-compliant and safe.
Manual transfer switches require you to physically flip the switch during an outage (2-5 minutes to restore power), while automatic switches detect power loss and switch automatically within 10-30 seconds. Manual switches cost less and work great with portable generators. Automatic switches provide hands-free operation and are ideal for standby generators, especially when you’re away from home.
Yes! We install transfer switches for all generator types and brands, including Generac, Kohler, Champion, Honda, Briggs & Stratton, and others. Whether you have a portable generator or standby system already installed, we’ll assess your generator’s capacity and recommend the appropriate transfer switch size and type for safe, code-compliant operation.
If your current electrical panel lacks the capacity for a transfer switch or needs upgrades to meet current code requirements, we can upgrade your panel as part of the installation. We’ll assess your electrical system during the free consultation and provide a complete quote for any necessary upgrades. Many Orange County homes built before 2000 benefit from panel upgrades when adding transfer switches.
Manual transfer switch installation typically costs $800-$1,500, while automatic transfer switch installation ranges from $1,500-$2,500. Commercial systems require custom pricing based on capacity and complexity. Final cost depends on switch capacity (measured in amps), panel configuration, circuit selection, and any necessary electrical upgrades. We provide free, upfront estimates with transparent pricing and no hidden fees.
Most homeowners prioritize essential circuits including refrigerator, freezer, furnace/HVAC, well pump, sump pump, lights, internet router, and one or two outlets for charging devices. Medical equipment should always be included if needed. We’ll help you select the most important circuits during installation based on your generator’s capacity and your family’s needs. Typical residential transfer switches handle 6-16 circuits.
A transfer switch is the only safe and legal way to power your home with a generator. Running extension cords through windows or doors creates serious safety hazards including fire risk, carbon monoxide exposure, tripping hazards, and potential electrocution. Transfer switches also prevent dangerous “back-feeding” electricity into utility lines, which can harm utility workers and damage your electrical system. Orange County building codes require transfer switches for all generator installations.
Proper electrical isolation prevents dangerous back-feeding into utility lines, protecting utility workers and your equipment. GFCI protection and proper grounding for all installations.
All work meets National Electrical Code (NEC) and local Orange County building standards with proper permits and inspections for every installation.
