Reed Electrical
Transfer Switch Installation in Port Hadlock, WA
The safe, code-compliant way to connect a generator to your home.
Transfer Switch Installation for Jefferson County homes
A transfer switch is the safe connection between your generator and your home's wiring. It isolates your house from the utility so you're not backfeeding power onto the lines, which protects you, your neighbors and line crews.
We install manual transfer switches, interlock kits and automatic transfer switches depending on your generator and how much of the home you want to power.
The local angle
Outages on the peninsula can stretch for days after big storms. A transfer switch turns a portable generator into a practical whole-home backup plan.
Reed Electrical has served the Olympic Peninsula since 2010, and Ron Reed brings 22 years of hands-on experience to every job. We're 100% residential, so we know how to work cleanly in an occupied home and how to keep a builder's schedule on track. When the work needs a Washington State electrical permit, we pull it and schedule the inspection.

Transfer Switch Installation FAQ
What's the difference between an interlock and a transfer switch?
Both prevent backfeeding. An interlock works with your main panel; a transfer switch is a separate device. We'll recommend the best fit.
Can I power my whole house?
It depends on generator size. We'll help you choose the circuits that matter most.
Is a transfer switch required?
A code-compliant transfer method is required whenever a generator connects to home wiring.
