About This Service

We install manual and automatic transfer switches (ATS) for both portable and standby generators. A proper transfer switch is essential — connecting a generator without one (backfeeding) is illegal in Ontario and extremely dangerous to utility workers.

For portable generators, we install a dedicated transfer switch and inlet box so you can connect your generator with a single plug — no dangerous extension cords running through windows. We can also install a subpanel fed by the transfer switch to power your critical loads.

For whole-home standby generators (Generac, Kohler, Briggs & Stratton), we handle the complete electrical installation: transfer switch, utility disconnect, generator connection, and coordination with your generator supplier and gas fitter.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a permit for a generator installation in Toronto?
Yes — any generator connected to your home's electrical system requires an ESA permit. We handle all permits.
Can I connect a generator myself in Toronto?
Ontario code requires a licensed electrician to install the transfer switch and make the connection to your panel. Improper connections can cause electrocution or fires.
