Switchgear, generators and critical power
Commercial generator and transfer switch installation
Tapps Electric installs standby generators and automatic transfer switches for commercial, industrial and healthcare buildings. We handle the electrical side from the pad to the panels: feeders, transfer switches, controls, permits and startup with the generator supplier.

What size generator does a building need?
It depends on what has to stay on. We list the loads you want backed up, add the motor starting loads and size the generator and transfer switch from that.
Can you replace a generator in a building that has to stay open?
Yes. We plan the changeover in steps and bring in temporary power when the building cannot be without backup.
Do you work on hospital power systems?
Yes. Our healthcare work includes essential electrical systems at the VMFH emergency and urgent care in Port Orchard.

- Generator and transfer switch electrical installation
