Manual Transfer Switch Installation in Miami-Dade, FL

Yes, Florida law requires a transfer switch for every generator connected to a residential or commercial electrical panel. Without one, your generator can back-feed electricity onto utility lines, creating a serious hazard for crews restoring power across Miami-Dade.

A manual transfer switch requires you to start your generator and flip the switch yourself to move power from the utility to your generator. An automatic transfer switch detects the outage and changes over on its own, which is covered separately on our Automatic Transfer Switch Installation and Repair page.

A manual transfer switch connects your generator to the circuits you choose during installation, typically the refrigerator, lights, air conditioning, and any medical equipment. Strikeguard works with you to identify the loads that matter most for your home or business.

Yes, Strikeguard installs manual transfer switches at both residential and commercial properties throughout Coral Gables, Homestead, and the wider Miami-Dade service area. Commercial installations follow the same code-compliant process as residential work.

A manual transfer switch is designed specifically for portable generator owners who want a safe, permanent connection to their panel instead of running extension cords. It is a practical, reliable option for Miami-Dade homeowners who are on-site during outages and comfortable starting their generator manually.
