A properly installed generator inlet and transfer system allows you to connect a portable generator to selected circuits in your home without relying on extension cords running throughout the property.

ACE-Electric can install generator inlet boxes, breakers, transfer equipment, and approved interlock systems to provide a safer and more convenient way to use portable backup power during an outage.

We can help determine which circuits are most important to keep powered, including refrigerators, freezers, lighting, heating equipment, well pumps, internet equipment, and other essential household loads.

Transfer Switch & Backup Power Installation

Automatic standby generators can provide backup power when utility service is interrupted. ACE-Electric WA provides the electrical portion of standby generator installations, including transfer switch wiring, generator electrical connections, required circuit modifications and electrical service modifications when necessary.

For generators requiring natural gas or propane, fuel piping and other mechanical work must be completed by the appropriate qualified contractor.

A transfer switch safely separates generator power from the utility electrical system, helping prevent dangerous backfeeding while directing backup power to selected circuits or your home's electrical system.

ACE Electric WA, LLC installs and wires manual and automatic transfer equipment based on the generator system, electrical service, connected load and backup power needs of the home.

Proper transfer equipment is essential for protecting your home's electrical system, utility workers and generator equipment during an outage.

Not every home requires whole-house backup power. In many cases, a properly designed generator system can keep the circuits that matter most operating during an outage.

ACE-Electric can evaluate your electrical system, generator capacity and backup power needs to help determine which essential loads can be supplied, such as:

Refrigerators and freezers
Lighting
Heating equipment
Well and sump pumps
Garage doors
Internet and communication equipment
Selected receptacles
Other critical household circuits
