Switchgear Upgrades

 

There are many reasons your switchgear may be due for an upgrade. Facility power needs increase, state and local regulatory codes change, and technology continues to evolve. Once new technology becomes available, old technology must be retired to keep your switchgear reliable. Relying on obsolete components that are no longer in production and no longer available could result in long delays, higher costs, and considerable equipment down time if replacement is not planned. If replacement of these components is planned for and performed in a non-emergency scenario, these concerns are no longer an issue.

Our certified and knowledgeable technicians can assess your requirements and guide you through the upgrade process to improve the overall reliability of your system.
