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 Ithaca, NY.

Talk to a real person
Why won't my home generator start?
The most common causes are a weak or dead battery, stale fuel or a clogged fuel filter, a dirty air filter, a worn spark plug, low oil, or a control board fault. Check whether the generator shows an error code, and note whether it clicks, cranks or does nothing. Those details point to the cause.
What should I do if my generator fails during a power outage?
Do not run it indoors or in a garage, and do not refuel a hot generator. If you smell fuel or see smoke, shut it off if it is safe and move away. Otherwise note any error code and what it did, then call and describe the problem.
What is the difference between a standby generator and a portable generator?
A standby generator is permanently installed, runs on natural gas or propane and starts automatically when the power fails. A portable generator is moved by hand, runs on gasoline or propane, and you start it and connect it yourself.
Why does my generator surge or stall?
Surging is often caused by dirty fuel, a clogged carburetor or filter, or a fuel supply problem. Stalling can also come from low oil, an overload or a failing sensor.
Can I run a generator in a garage or near the house?
No. Generators produce carbon monoxide, which can kill. Never run one indoors, in a garage or in a partly enclosed space. Keep it outside and well away from windows, doors and vents, and install carbon monoxide alarms in your home.
