Did you know?
You don’t have to brave the storm to refuel.

It can run indefinitely during a prolonged outage without you ever needing to lift a gas can.

Safe Electrical Transfer Switch for Generator Connections in Barrie
Connecting a portable electric generator directly to your panel is illegal without proper isolation. We specialize in installing the mandatory electrical transfer switch for generator use, which strictly isolates your Barrie home from the utility grid. This critical step prevents dangerous “backfeeding” risks to utility workers and ensures that whether you are running a small electric generator or a permanent Generac electric generator, your backup power is legal, safe, and code-compliant.

Frequently Asked Questions
Yes. The Ontario Electrical Safety Code requires a “Notification of Work” for any permanent electrical installation, including backup power. As a Licensed Electrical Contractor, we file this paperwork for you to ensure your electric generator for home use is fully legal and documented for insurance purposes.
Never plug a portable electric generator directly into a standard wall outlet. This illegal practice, known as “backfeeding,” creates a lethal risk for utility workers repairing lines. We must install a dedicated electrical transfer switch for generator safety, which isolates your home from the grid while allowing you to power essential circuits safely.
It depends on your power goals. A small electric generator may handle just your fridge and furnace, while a full Generac electric generator can power the whole home. We perform a mandatory Load Calculation to ensure the new generator with electric integration does not overload your home’s main electrical panel or service capacity.
