A power transfer switching mechanism for interposition between a remote power inlet box and the electrical load center of a building includes a compartment for receiving power input wires connected to the remote power inlet box, or for receiving a power input receptacle. The switching mechanism includes a cabinet defining an internal cavity within which a series of switches are mounted. One or more lead wires are connected to the switches, and define ends which extend into the compartment. The compartment is accessible through an opening associated with the cabinet of the power transfer switching mechanism, and a cover is selectively positionable over the opening to provide or prevent access to the compartment. With the cover removed, the lead wires can be connected to the power input wires using conventional wire-to-wire connectors, and the wires and connectors can then be placed within the compartment and concealed by mounting the cover to the cabinet of the power transfer switching mechanism. Alternatively, a power input receptacle can be mounted to the cover, and the ends of the lead wires can either be engaged directly with the power input receptacle or with connector wires extending from the power input receptacle.
