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 Markham, IL.

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 does an automatic transfer switch do?
It moves your home from utility power to the generator when the power goes out, and back again when it returns. It also prevents the generator from feeding power back into the grid, which protects utility workers.
Why does my generator run but the house has no power?
The usual causes are a failed transfer switch, a tripped breaker, a damaged outlet or a failed voltage regulator. Because it involves your electrical system, it should be checked by a qualified person.
Why does my generator surge or stall?
Surging is often caused by dirty fuel, a clogged carburetor or filter, or a fuel supply problem. Stalling can also come from low oil, an overload or a failing sensor.
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.
