Frequently asked questions

What exactly does Switchgear Brokers do?

We act as your trusted advisor in the switchgear modernization process. Instead of guessing which contractor or OEM solution is right for your facility, we evaluate your existing equipment, identify upgrade options, and connect you with vetted electrical contractors who specialize in your specific type of gear..

Are you a contractor or do you install the equipment?

No. We are not a contractor — we are independent advisors.
Our only goal is to help you choose the safest, most reliable, and most cost-effective upgrade solution without the bias of selling you equipment.

Why shouldn’t I just contact a contractor directly?

Most contractors only quote what they want to sell.
We give you multiple modernization options, multiple contractor quotes, and clear pros/cons so you can make the best decision for your facility — not theirs.

How do you choose which contractors to recommend?

We work only with pre-screened, licensed, insured contractors who specialize in switchgear upgrades, retrofits, and replacements. Every contractor in our network is vetted for:

  • Experience with complex or legacy gear

  • Safety track record

  • Customer satisfaction

  • Proper licensing and insurance

What types of facilities do you work with?

We serve any facility that operates mission-critical electrical infrastructure, including:

  • Hospitals

  • Schools & universities

  • Manufacturing plants

  • Commercial buildings

  • Data centers

  • Water & wastewater plants

  • Municipal facilities

What if I don’t know what type of switchgear I have?

No problem. Most customers don’t.
We help you identify the type, age, brand, and condition of your switchgear during the assessment.

How long does a switchgear modernization usually take?

It depends on equipment lead times, permitting, and outage scheduling. Typical timelines range from 4–12 weeks, but we help you plan the safest and fastest path based on your specific system.

Can you help if my switchgear is extremely old or discontinued?

How much does it cost to use Switchgear Brokers?

Our assessments are free.
We earn from connecting you with the right contractor — never from upselling equipment.

Is this service available nationwide or only locally?

We currently support projects in North America but are soon to expand to South America.

What if I already have a contractor?

We can still help you verify pricing, evaluate upgrade options, and ensure you're getting the safest, most cost-effective modernization plan.
