Generator Back-Up Power for Monterey, Seaside, Pacific Grove and Carmel!
Portable Generator Backup Power in Monterey
With the ever changing environment and increased demand we have seen lots of power outages in the Monterey, Pacific Grove and Carmel areas. With blackouts from extreme heat, to utilities turning off transmission lines because of high winds and fire conditions. We can no longer strongly rely upon continuous power to our homes.
If you have a small home, or simply just want to ensure that your fridge, microwave, and a few lights and plugs work, then a portable backup generator is an economic solution for your home.
You can purchase a smaller portable generator to supply you with temporary power during outages, and still utilize the generator for other things like camping off the grid!
Switched Electric can help you choose the correct size generator to provide you with temporary power, and then install a transfer switch to your electrical panel to connect the generator safely to your home.
Reach out today to get the process started so you are not left in the dark.
Whole House Generator Backup Power
Installing a fully automatic whole house generator might be the solution to the power grid issues, and those winter storms, that you have been seeking.
Switched Electric can install a new fully automatic generator system that can supply selected circuits like fridges, microwaves, lights, and receptacles, or we can install a system capable of supplying the whole house, even electric ovens and air conditioners.
If you are interested in investing in your homes and families safety, security, and well being, then reach out to us to design a system that meets all your needs.

Transfer Switches
If you already have a portable generator, or are in the market, then a transfer switch might be the solution you need.
A transfer switch allows you to choose predetermined circuits that are essential for you to use when the power is down, such as the fridge and freezer circuits. Loosing hundreds or even thousands of dollars of food isn’t something anyone wants.
Then when the utility fails to deliver power, all you need to do is pull out your portable generator and connect it to a type of receptacle called an inlet, and the circuits you have chosen will all be ready to go.
It is a cost effective solution that Switched Electric can help to install for you. Give us a call now for more information.
Generator Interlock
A generator interlock kit is perhaps the most cost effective way to provide your home with backup power with your portable generator.
An interlock kit gets installed to the cover of your already existing electrical panel. It acts to shut down your main electrical circuit breaker, and to transfer the power to a generator circuit breaker. That generator breaker is supplied power by the generator via an outdoor mounted inlet receptacle.
These installations are the simplest and least expensive ways to provide emergency power to your home. If you are interested in learning more, go ahead and reach out to Switched Electric now.
