Generator Changeover Switches

Reliable Backup Power — When You Need It Most

At Yarra Valley Electrical & Data, we install and service generator changeover switches for homes, farms, and businesses across the Yarra Valley and outer eastern Melbourne.

When the power goes out, you need a quick, safe, and reliable way to switch to generator power. A properly installed changeover switch allows you to connect your generator directly to your electrical system — keeping lights, fridges, pumps, and essential equipment running without the danger of back-feeding power to the grid.

What Is a Generator Changeover Switch?

A generator changeover switch (or transfer switch) safely transfers your property’s electrical supply between the main grid and a backup generator.
It prevents power from feeding back into the network (which can endanger utility workers) and ensures that only one source supplies your home or business at a time.

With a flick of a switch, you can restore power to essential circuits during an outage — safely, quickly, and legally.
