Good to Know

Why a Transfer Switch Is Non-Negotiable

Connecting a portable generator directly to your home without a transfer switch is illegal and deadly—it can back-feed power onto utility lines, electrocuting lineworkers. Ramos Electric installs proper transfer switches and interlock kits that meet Pennsylvania code requirements and keep your family and utility workers safe.

I hired Ramos Electric today to install my Tesla EV charger. The technician was outstanding—meticulous, punctual, and great at communicating. You can tell by his work that he is very experienced and truly knows what he is doing. My panel is in the basement, making it difficult to run wires to the garage, but he handled it with great patience. The pricing was also very reasonable. I would highly recommend him.

Joe Ramos is the right person for the job. Honest, friendly, and professional. He replaced my electrical panel, but before he did, he walked with me, showed me the problem, and made suggestions to give me options.

PP&L called at 7:45PM to inform us that they were disconnecting the power to our rental property due to a faulty grounding issue; leaving two tenants without power. We contacted Joe Ramos, owner of Ramos Electrical, because of such a positive experience with him in the past at another property. By the time we arrived at the property at 8:30PM, Joe had made the required repairs and PP&L serviceman was restoring power to the home. Thank you Joe Ramos for your prompt and knowledgeable service. Highest recommendation without hesitation!! He is the guy!
