Generator Installation & Transfer Switches

Manitoba winters bring outages. A properly installed transfer switch means your generator kicks in safely — no extension cords through a window.

Backup power that's actually safe to use

The generator is only half the system. Without a properly installed transfer switch, backfeeding your home's wiring is dangerous to you and to any utility worker on the line. We install the electrical side correctly.

Standby Generator Hookups

Permanently installed units with an automatic transfer switch — power restores itself without you going outside.

Portable Generator Connections

A manual transfer switch and inlet lets you safely power selected circuits from a portable unit.

Automatic Transfer Switch

Detects the outage, switches over, and switches back when utility power returns. No manual steps.

Manual Transfer Switch

A more affordable option that covers a chosen set of critical circuits — furnace, sump, fridge, well pump.

Rural & Acreage Properties

Well pumps and septic systems make backup power more critical outside town. We do a lot of this work in the Interlake.

Load Planning

We help you decide which circuits actually need to be on backup — usually fewer than people expect.

Planning a generator installation

Decide what needs to stay on

Whole-home backup is the most expensive option and often unnecessary. Furnace, sump pump, fridge, freezer, and well pump cover most real needs during a Manitoba outage.

Automatic vs. manual

An automatic transfer switch costs more but requires nothing from you during an outage. A manual switch is significantly cheaper and works fine if you're home and willing to flip it.

Generator sizing

Undersizing is the most common mistake. We work out the actual starting and running loads of the circuits you want covered before you buy a unit.

Gas and electrical are separate trades

For a natural gas standby unit, the gas connection is a separate licensed trade from the electrical work. We coordinate but don't perform the gas fitting.
