It allows people to cut down on their electricity bills, to divide power between rooms and appliances, and to gain an element of control over their power supply that was more or less unthinkable not so long ago. Indeed, it would not be stretching the bounds of supposition too far to suggest that prior to the invention of the portable generator transfer switch, emergency home energy was a lot less efficient.

As long as it is fitted correctly, a portable generator hooked up to a transfer switch – or a number of transfer switches – can be a godsend for the homeowner who is experiencing either high energy bills or constant blackouts. In giving us an element of control over how much power we get from our own generator and how much we get from the local grid, the portable generator transfer switch has given the homeowner a further level of independence.

If the portable generator is incorrectly fitted, however, it can be dangerous for anyone to operate the transfer switch. In such situations, home insurance can even be invalidated, as any accident that takes place on the premises due to the poor installation is your responsibility under the law, should it have been you that fitted the generator.
