Common Questions

Straight answers about generator wiring, transfer switches, and what to expect.

How much does generator hookup cost in Tampa Bay?

Transfer switch and generator hookup costs depend on the switch type, generator size, and panel configuration. We give you a flat written quote before any work begins — contact us for a free estimate on your specific setup.

What is a transfer switch and why do I need one?

A transfer switch safely disconnects your home from the utility grid before connecting generator power. This is required by code and protects utility workers from backfeed. Never connect a generator directly to your panel or outlets without a proper transfer switch.

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

A manual transfer switch requires you to physically flip a switch when the power goes out. An automatic transfer switch detects the outage and switches to generator power within seconds — no action needed. Automatic is the better option for standby generators and whole-home backup.

Can you wire a whole-home generator in Tampa Bay?

Yes. We size the transfer switch, run the wiring, and connect standby generators from a variety of major brands including Generac and Kohler, among others. We coordinate with the gas company for natural gas lines where required.
