Transfer Switch Installation
If you are like most people, you probably take electricity for granted. You flip a switch, the lights come on, or you turn on the TV, and the picture appears. What would happen if there was a power outage? How can you keep your appliances running? Installing a whole-house transfer switch is one way to ensure you have power during a blackout. Installing a transfer switch to work seamlessly with your home generator is not easy and is best left to the experts. Catahoula Electric LLC has experienced electricians that can help you with this project.
The transfer switch is a device that automatically switches your home's electricity from utility power to generator power.
Transfer switches are designed to work with different generators and must be installed according to local building codes.
Benefits of having a Transfer Switch
- Ensuring safety when changing between generator and utility power.
- Transfer switches are designed to prevent power surges that could damage equipment or cause an electrical fire.
- Transfer switches allow running multiple appliances simultaneously without overloading the generator.

Installing a transfer switch is a necessary safety precaution and should only be done by a qualified electrician. The Catahoula Electric LLC team has the knowledge and experience to ensure that your whole house transfer switch installation meets all local codes and regulations for St Tammany, Tangipahoa, Jefferson, and St. Bernard Parishes.
