using a utility transfer switch
First off I am not an electrician, but before I call one I want to know if this is even a thing people do. Here is the scenario: I own a duplex home with two electrical services, one for each unit. I have a detached garage that has power attached to unit one's service panel. The tenant who rents the garage lives in the other unit (Unit two). Can I take the garage circuit off unit ones panel, put it in a sub panel and use a utility transfer switch to pick which service panel should feed it power? Does anyone have a setup like this? Wondering if there is a better or different way to essentially move the electricity usage from one tenant to the other. Thanks!
