Building Center No.3

Our design firm often does our own electrical drawings. What brand of load centers do electrician's prefer to work with? We have specified Eaton, Siemens and GE based on matching whatever was originally there even though we may be replacing it altogether.

Every electrician has their own personal preference.

This is like asking which brand of toothpaste do dentists prefer.

They all do the same job, so it doesn't really matter which one is used.

If it isn't specified, they may tend to use a certain brand but if it's specified then they'll just install that one (given it's availability).

Thank you. We will start to leave it unspecified, then.

I find it's highly regional. Where Square D prevails in one area, CH does in others, and even GE in others.
