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 Washington, DC.

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 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.
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.
How do I get started?
Call (877) 884-0342, describe your generator and what it is doing, and ask about an estimate and availability for your area.
