Automatic Transfer
Switch Installation
The technical heartbeat of your backup power system, engineered for instant, fail-safe transitions during grid outages.
The Intelligent Link to Your Backup Power
An automatic transfer switch (ATS) is the essential component that transforms a standby generator or battery from a piece of equipment into a cohesive safety system. For homeowners in Ocean and Monmouth Counties, the ATS acts as a vigilant monitor of your utility feed. The moment a grid failure is detected, it safely isolates your home from the utility lines and commands your backup source to take the load. At Bixler Electric Inc, we treat transfer switch installation as a precision task, ensuring that your transition to backup power is instantaneous and code-compliant.
Without a properly engineered transfer switch, you risk backfeeding electricity into the grid, which is a lethal hazard for utility workers. Our master-level approach ensures your system is mechanically and electrically interlocked, preventing any possibility of cross-connection. As local electricians, we have seen the results of inferior DIY setups; we build for 100% reliability so your family stays protected through the worst coastal weather.
System Integration & Load Management
An ATS must be sized perfectly to match your electrical panel and your backup source. If your home requires a 200 amp service upgrade to accommodate modern HVAC demands and an ev charger installation, your transfer switch needs to handle that full capacity. We perform a technical audit of your circuitry to determine if a whole-house switch or a managed-load sub-panel is the right move for your specific infrastructure.
Technical Mastery Over Power Transitions
Modern energy resilience often involves complex ecosystems, including tesla wall connector installation and standby generators. The transfer switch manages the logic of how these systems interact when the grid drops. We specialize in high-speed switches that restore power in under ten seconds, protecting sensitive home office equipment and security systems from extended downtime. Whether you are in Toms River, Brick, or Jackson, we ensure your switchgear is industrial-grade.
Permitting & Residential Compliance
Installing a transfer switch is a major modification to your home's main service. We handle all necessary permitting for electrical power restoration systems, coordinating with municipal inspectors to verify that every termination and grounding point meets the latest NEC standards. Our residential safety audits verify that your existing wiring is healthy enough to handle the transition cycles, giving you peace of mind before the next storm hits.

Transfer Switch FAQ
Why can't I just use an interlock kit?
Manual interlocks require you to be home and physically flip breakers during a storm. An automatic transfer switch provides hands-off protection, restoring your power in seconds whether you are home or away.
Does a transfer switch protect against surges?
While its primary job is power routing, we recommend installing whole-home surge protection alongside your ATS to shield your electronics from utility spikes during grid restoration.
Does Bixler Electric Inc handle the inspections?
Absolutely. We manage all municipal electrical inspections and permitting, ensuring your automatic backup system is fully documented and code-compliant for your insurance.
