This is often a transfer switch issue, a common problem we see locally. First, ensure your generator has fuel and the main breaker is on. If it still won't transfer, the switch's internal components or control wiring may have failed. For safety and to prevent damage, do not attempt to bypass it. Our electricians specialize in generator transfer switch repair and installation to get your backup power working reliably.
