Our Switchgear Process
Load Analysis & Engineering
We analyze your facility's electrical load, future growth needs, and utility service to specify the right switchgear configuration.
Procurement & Staging
Switchgear has long lead times. We handle procurement, coordinate delivery logistics, and stage equipment for installation.
Installation & Cutover
We plan the cutover carefully to minimize downtime, often working nights or weekends to avoid production disruption.
Testing & Documentation
We test all breakers, verify protective settings, update arc flash labels, and provide complete as-built documentation.
Switchgear Cost Factors
Switchgear is a significant investment that protects your entire electrical system:
- Voltage and amperage rating
- Number of breaker positions
- Manufacturer (Eaton, Square D, Siemens, GE)
- Main breaker vs. main lug configuration
- ATS integration for generator systems
- Low voltage switchgear: $15,000-$100,000+; medium voltage: $50,000-$500,000+
Switchgear Installation FAQs
How long does switchgear last?
Well-maintained switchgear typically lasts 25-30 years. However, if your switchgear uses obsolete breakers that are no longer available, it may need replacement sooner. We can assess your equipment's condition and remaining useful life.
Can you replace individual breakers in my switchgear?
In many cases, yes. We source replacement breakers for existing switchgear lineups. If breakers are obsolete and no longer available, we can retrofit with modern breakers or recommend switchgear replacement.
How long will my power be off during switchgear replacement?
Outage duration depends on the project scope. Simple breaker replacements may only need a few hours. Full switchgear replacements typically require 1-3 days. We use temporary power solutions to minimize impact when possible.
Do you install automatic transfer switches?
Yes. We install ATS units as part of generator backup power systems. The ATS automatically switches your building to generator power during utility outages and back when power is restored.
