What types of electrical equipment do you buy?

We buy circuit breakers, transformers, switchgear, motor control centers, electric motors, bus plugs and busway, disconnect switches, generators, variable frequency drives, panelboards, wire and cable, and all other types of surplus industrial electrical equipment.

Do you buy equipment in any condition?

We buy equipment in all conditions — new in box, reconditioned, used but operational, and even untested units. The only items we typically cannot purchase are severely fire-damaged equipment with no salvageable components or items containing PCBs requiring hazardous waste handling.

What areas do you serve?

We review equipment located in all 50 states. For accepted purchases, the written offer explains pickup timing and responsibility for freight, access, rigging, and removal.

How do I get a quote for my surplus equipment?

Contact us by phone at (951) 403-5738 or use the online quote form. Provide the manufacturer, model, ratings, condition, quantity, location, and clear nameplate photos. Complete details help us review the equipment promptly.

How are payment terms handled?

Payment method and timing are documented in the written purchase terms before pickup or release of the equipment. Available methods depend on the final transaction agreement.

What We Buy — Surplus Electrical Equipment

Surplus Electrical Buyer reviews many types of surplus electrical equipment, from circuit breakers and motor controls to transformers, switchgear, and documented substation packages.

Functional surplus equipment may retain value beyond its material content when specifications, condition, completeness, documentation, and current demand support reuse. We evaluate each item individually rather than applying a blanket price per pound.

Contact us with clear nameplate photos, ratings, quantity, condition, and location. When the equipment fits our criteria, review the written pricing, payment, pickup, freight, access, loading, rigging, and release terms before proceeding.
