What Switch Electric does

Switch Electric is a Phoenix-based specialty electrical contractor founded in 2017, focused on mission-critical data center electrical construction with secondary work in commercial, industrial, healthcare, and residential markets. The firm's core offering is a turnkey delivery model comprising four integrated services: Preconstruction planning, Virtual Construction (BIM/CAD-based electrical system design), Prefabrication of electrical components off-site, and Electrical Construction execution. Specialized capabilities include installation of generators, transformers, PDUs, RPPs, busways, and medium-voltage cable systems (up to 15 kV) in live operational data center environments, plus full Integrated Systems Testing (IST) commissioning.

The company's competitive positioning rests on live-environment data center expertise, a safety-certified workforce (OSHA 10/30, NFPA 70E, CPR), and demonstrated execution on complex projects including 4.5 MW build-outs, 300,000 sq. ft. greenfield installations, and 60,000 ft. of medium-voltage cable work. Its customer base consists of enterprise and institutional clients in the Phoenix metropolitan area. Notable engagements include SRP (Salt River Project) and a confidential data center operator in Chandler, AZ.

Revenue is generated through project-based fixed-price and time-and-materials contracts via direct enterprise field sales and relationship-based business development; no public pricing is disclosed. The firm operates from a Gilbert, AZ headquarters and a Tempe, AZ satellite office. In 2025, Switch Electric was acquired by Loenbro, joining a unified One Loenbro platform; the company no longer operates as an independent entity.

Core offering

Switch Electric is a Phoenix-based electrical contractor that designs, installs, and maintains electrical systems for mission-critical data center and commercial/industrial facilities. Its core offering spans preconstruction planning, BIM/CAD virtual construction, off-site prefabrication of electrical components, and full electrical construction including generators, transformers, PDUs, RPPs, busways, and 15 kV medium-voltage cable work, delivered with Integrated Systems Testing (IST) commissioning in live operational data center environments.

Product overview

Switch Electric is an electrical contracting company that offers a unified portfolio of construction services rather than a discrete software product. The core offering comprises Preconstruction, Virtual Construction, Prefabrication, and Electrical Construction services, which function as an integrated project delivery approach. The company specializes in Mission Critical Electrical Services for data centers and medium-voltage electrical systems. These services work together as a turnkey delivery model where planning (preconstruction/Virtual Construction) feeds into fabrication (prefabrication) and execution (electrical construction), with mission-critical and medium-voltage capabilities serving as specialized verticals within the electrical construction portfolio.

Direct peers

• Morrow-Meadows Corporation: Large private specialty electrical contractor serving data centers, healthcare, and industrial markets in the Western U.S., with comparable medium-voltage and high-voltage capabilities.
• Rosendin Electric: One of the largest employee-owned electrical contractors in the U.S. with a strong mission-critical/data center practice, including live-environment installations. Direct competitor for the same hyperscaler and colocation customers.
• Helix Electric: Specialty electrical contractor with significant data center, mission-critical, and commercial/industrial work in the Western U.S., competing head-to-head on hyperscaler projects.
• Cache Valley Electric: Employee-owned specialty electrical contractor with a strong data center/mission-critical division, including medium-voltage distribution work comparable to Switch Electric's.
• Faith Technologies: National electrical and specialty systems contractor with dedicated mission-critical and data center capabilities, including prefab and prefabrication approaches comparable to Switch Electric's.

Broad incumbents

• EMCOR Group: Public Fortune 500 provider of electrical and mechanical construction plus facility services. Large data center footprint through subsidiaries but serves as a broad incumbent rather than a focused specialist.
• Quanta Services: Public infrastructure solutions provider for the electric, oil & gas, and telecom industries, with growing exposure to hyperscale data center power and substation work. Overlaps on medium-voltage and high-voltage systems rather than the core electrical fit-out.
• IES Holdings: Public electrical and communications contractor with substantial data center exposure through its commercial and industrial segment. Broader portfolio but directly overlapping on mission-critical scope.

Others

• Loenbro: Parent company of Switch Electric and a multi-discipline infrastructure services provider (electrical, mechanical, civil). As acquirer and platform, it shapes Switch Electric's access to capital, geographic reach, and cross-sell opportunities.

Regional players

• McCarthy Building Companies: Large national general contractor with a dedicated data center practice. Competes at the GC level rather than as an electrical sub, but frequently engages or competes with specialty electrical contractors like Switch Electric.
