Why You Need a Transfer Switch With Your Portable Generator
Extension cords provide a good temporary solution, but they won't connect everything you need during a power outage.
Installing a transfer switch with your portable generator enables you to run hardwired appliances in your electrical panel like a furnace, well pump or water heater AND MORE.
A transfer switch provides a convenient way to connect your generator to you home or business using ONE power cord to keep food from spoiling, keep the lights on, prepare meals, protect your home and stay connected.
