    Looking for a licensed electrician to install a transfer switch for portable generator. Single family home, easy access. I do not have the switch, so recommendations from installer welcomed. If you are an electrician or know of one and willing to come to 20855, please let me know.

    Are you looking for an automatic transfer switch? Or a manual switch?

    Are you looking for auto-start of the generator? Or will you be manually operating the generator?

    Manual switch and manual start for the generator. Looking at a switch so I don’t have to run cords to two levels for different circuits

    I bought one of these myself and then hired an electrician to install it. I have a big house so I got this box but they have smaller ones.

    To save labor, you need to know which circuits you want the electrician to connect through the transfer switch box. There is a circuit finder you can buy that makes it easy to see what breaker is connected to what. If you have the electrician do it, it will cost more.
