The automatic transfer switch is what moves your home from utility power to the generator, and back again. If it fails, the generator can run perfectly and the house stays dark. It also protects utility workers by keeping the generator from feeding power back into the grid.

Signs of a transfer switch problem:

  • The generator starts during an outage but the house has no power
  • The switch clicks, buzzes or does not move
  • The generator does not start when the power goes out, because the switch is not sending the start signal
  • Lights flicker or the load drops out when switching

Transfer switch work involves your home's electrical system, so it should be done by a qualified person. Call and describe what you see, and we will connect you with a local provider.

Automatic Transfer Switch Repair FAQs

Frequently asked questions about Automatic Transfer Switch Repair

Questions we hear most often about Automatic Transfer Switch Repair in Elma, IA.

Talk to a real person
How often should a home generator be serviced?
Follow the maintenance schedule in your generator's manual, because intervals vary by model. Most standby generators need service at least once a year, and portable generators benefit from fresh fuel, an oil check and a test run before storm season.
What does an automatic transfer switch do?
It moves your home from utility power to the generator when the power goes out, and back again when it returns. It also prevents the generator from feeding power back into the grid, which protects utility workers.
Why does my generator run but the house has no power?
The usual causes are a failed transfer switch, a tripped breaker, a damaged outlet or a failed voltage regulator. Because it involves your electrical system, it should be checked by a qualified person.
Is it safe to repair a generator myself?
Basic checks like the oil level, battery and fuel are reasonable. Fuel systems, the transfer switch and anything connected to your home's wiring involve fire, shock and carbon monoxide risks, so they are best left to a qualified provider.
How much does generator repair cost?
It depends on the generator, the fault and the parts. A battery replacement is a different job from a fuel system or transfer switch repair. Call and describe the problem, and ask for an estimate.
