To power your home with a portable generator, your best bet is to install a manual transfer switch.

However, installation is no walk in the park. Improper installation can pose serious safety hazards.

If you're not sure how to do it, you can phone a friend who does. Otherwise, you can hire a professional.

If you don't know who to call, follow these simple steps to find a Preferred Installer near you:

1. Choose Number of Installers

Before you check out, make sure that you check the box, indicating that you are interested in receiving quotes from local installers.

You can choose the number of installers (either 3 or 5), depending on how many quotes you want to compare.

2. Receive Local Installer Email

At checkout, you get a receipt via email. If you requested an installer, you receive a separate email like the one below, highlighting the Preferred Installers that we automatically contact and alternate installers if you want to expand your search.

3. Get Calls from Local Installers

We also email each of the Preferred Installers, providing them with your email address, phone number and items ordered.

The installers will contact you directly to schedule an appointment and offer a quote. You simply compare the quotes to get the best price or installer for your project.
