Switchgear & Electrical Distribution

Everything your building runs passes through this equipment.

Switchboards, panelboards, transformers, and the service entrance itself — installed, replaced, upgraded, and tested by crews who treat distribution gear as the heart of the facility, because it is.

Full Scope

From the utility handoff to the last branch panel.

Switchgear & switchboards

New installation, replacement of aging gear, and capacity upgrades — low and medium voltage, coordinated with the utility and sequenced around your operations.

Service entrances

Metering, main disconnects, and service upgrades when the building outgrows its feed — the scope EV charging, electrification, and expansion projects most often trigger.

Panelboards & feeders

Distribution and branch panels, feeder runs, busway, and the load studies that prove what your system can actually carry before anyone buys equipment.

Transformers

Dry-type and pad-mount transformer installation and replacement, coordinated with utility requirements and lead-time reality — often the schedule-critical item on modern projects.

Testing & commissioning

NETA acceptance testing before energization, infrared/thermographic scanning of live gear, breaker testing, and torque verification — proof the equipment protecting your building works.

Arc flash & coordination studies

One-line diagrams, coordination studies, arc flash analysis with NFPA 70E labeling — kept current as your system changes, including after charging and distribution additions.

Why It's Urgent

America's commercial gear is old, and new loads are arriving fast.

A large share of commercial switchgear in service is decades past its design intent, with obsolete breakers and no replacement parts — just as EV charging and electrification add the biggest new loads those buildings have ever seen. A load study and thermal scan cost little; discovering your main gear can't support the project after equipment is ordered costs the schedule.

Straight Answers

Distribution questions owners ask.

How do I know if my switchgear needs replacement?

Age past 30–40 years, unreliable or unsupported breakers, hot spots on thermal scans, corrosion, or a load profile the gear was never designed for. A load study plus infrared scan turns the question into facts.

Can you replace gear without shutting the building down?

Usually — with temporary power, phased cutover, and night/weekend sequencing. Shutdown windows get engineered like everything else; occupied buildings are our normal condition, not an exception.

Does adding EV charging require a service upgrade?

Sometimes — and often not, if load management is designed in. We run the load study first; the honest answer is frequently smaller service than a naive design assumes. When an upgrade is genuinely needed, we handle the utility application and the gear.

Who needs an arc flash study?

Any facility where panels get opened. NFPA 70E-current labels protect your people and your compliance posture — and studies must be refreshed when the system changes.
