Heartland's Installed Transfer Switch

Meter Base Transfer Switch

Heartland can upgrade a member's meter panel to a meter base transfer switch, which incorporates a secure plug on the side to plug in a portable generator. The plug is weather proof and secure, and eliminates the need for extension cords to bring power from the generator to your home. The cord provided by heartland locks into place on the meter panel, and plugs into your generator's 30 or 50 amp receptacle. When using the generator to provide power, you utilize your home's breaker panel to direct power where it's needed since most generators are not able to properly power an entire home.

The meter base transfer switch is considered a service upgrade, with the cost paid upon installation or in installments of up to 12 months. Members purchase the connecting cord at the time of the transfer switch installation. Like a standard meter base, the meter base transfer switch will be owned and maintained by Heartland REC for its life.

• One-time charge (payments up to 12 months allowed)
• A service upgrade – the new meter base transfer switch replaces the current meter base
• Member switches two breakers to route power

Generlink Transfer Switch

Generlink Transfer Switches install behind the Heartland meter and connect directly to your generator’s 120/240-volt receptacle.

When the generator is started, the Generlink automatically routes power into your home, which you can direct though the use of your home’s existing circuit breakers. Lights on the Generlink will tell you when Heartland restores power. When you turn off your generator, the Generlink will automatically restore full power to your home.

Because the Generlink is installed at the meter, it is owned by Heartland and leased to Heartland members. The connecting cord must be purchased by Heartland members.

• Leased (Billed Monthly)
• Installed quickly behind the meter
• Extremely easy to operate
• Power automatically rerouted
