Jackery Home Backup and Transfer Switch Installation
A Jackery Explorer or HomePower unit becomes real home backup once it's connected to your circuits through a Jackery transfer switch. We install the switch, pull the permit and make sure the right circuits come on when the power goes out.
Which Jackery transfer switch goes with your unit
Jackery makes two ways to connect its power stations to a home. The Smart Transfer Switch is an automatic switch that moves your selected circuits to battery power on its own when the grid drops. The Manual Transfer Switch is the simpler option, and you flip the circuits over yourself during an outage. Which one fits depends on your Jackery model, since each switch works with specific Explorer and HomePower units.
Tell us the exact model you have or plan to buy and we'll confirm the matching switch against Jackery's compatibility list before we schedule anything.
Automatic or manual: what changes for you
Smart Transfer Switch
Switches automatically when the grid fails and back when it returns, and connects to Jackery's app for monitoring. It's the better fit if someone isn't always home, or for circuits like a sump pump or medical equipment that can't wait.
Manual Transfer Switch
You roll the unit into place, plug in and move the circuits you want from line to battery. Fewer parts and a simpler install, with someone needing to be there to switch over.
What a Jackery install involves
- 01
Model and circuit check
We confirm your Jackery model and transfer switch match, then pick the circuits worth backing up.
- 02
Location
Jackery's transfer switch isn't waterproof, so we place it indoors or in a protected spot near your panel, with an easy path for the unit's cable.
- 03
Permit
We file the electrical permit with your city or county.
- 04
Install and test
We wire the switch to the selected circuits, connect it to your panel, pass inspection and run a test outage with you.
Jackery's installation partners or a local crew
Jackery coordinates installation through partner electricians in some areas, and you can also use your own licensed electrician. We're a local Colorado solar and electrical company, so the same crew can add solar panels for charging, upgrade your main panel if needed and come back for service.
