A Southern Switch engineer answers, not a call center. We dispatch crews from Palm Harbor, FL with the test equipment, the contacts, and the machine shop behind them.
Send a scope or asset list →When utilities call at the worst moment, it gets documented: TECO's 230 kV autotransformer emergency, OUC's 2-day CT passthrough replacement, and 12 copper rods machined for FPL on a Saturday afternoon. Read the case studies →
Engineer on the line any hour. We triage by phone first, trip records, relay events, photos, so the crew arrives with the right parts.
Florida, statewide, same-day dispatch is the norm from Palm Harbor. Georgia: next-day dispatch. Alabama, South Carolina, and the rest of the Southeast: next-day to two-day dispatch depending on drive distance and crew availability, call and we’ll give you a real ETA.
When the OEM is gone and nobody stocks it, our machine shop makes it. Reverse-engineered contacts and components on short notice.
