02No Testing Needed

We do not ask you to test, repair or clean anything. We evaluate the unit ourselves.

Disconnection, dismantling and removal are handled by our crews at our expense.

What we buy in Fairland

Every class of transformer is in scope. The units we see most often coming out of Fairland and the wider Maryland market include unit substations with the transformer still attached, 112.5 kVA dry-types from a tenant build-out, 75 kVA pad-mount units off a retail pad, 225 kVA three-phase pad-mounts and 45 kVA and 75 kVA dry-type units out of mechanical rooms.

Who sells to us here

Our sellers in this market are typically electrical supply houses moving old inventory, mining and aggregate operations, demolition crews stripping a site, commercial property managers doing a tenant retrofit and hospital and campus engineering groups.

Often because the utility took over the service and the customer-owned unit is idle.
Often because a PCB concern made keeping the unit unattractive.
Often because the tenant left and the service was oversized for the next one.
Often because a voltage conversion left the old unit stranded.

Getting a truck into Fairland

We stage flatbeds and lowboys near Baltimore and dispatch into Fairland as loads fill. We are used to sites where the only access is a single dock door.

Distance is our problem, not yours. We quote the transformer on what it is worth, then absorb the cost of getting it out of Fairland. Sellers who have been quoted by scrap dealers are usually surprised by the difference, because a scrap price has the hauling cost taken out of it and ignores resale value entirely.

Send the nameplate and a photo. Same-day number.

How the sale works

Four steps, no cost to you

1. Send what you have

A photo of the nameplate and one wide shot of the unit is enough to start. If the nameplate is unreadable, photograph the unit anyway and we will work from dimensions and construction.

2. Get a number

We come back with a firm offer, usually the same day. It is a cash offer, not an estimate that changes later.

3. We schedule around you

Pickup in Fairland gets scheduled to fit your outage window, plant shutdown or building access hours. If a utility disconnect is required first, we coordinate the timing.

4. We pay, then we haul

You are paid before the unit moves. Our crew handles teardown, rigging and loading, and our truck takes it away.

Fairland transformer selling questions

Straight answers

Do you actually come to Fairland to pick up transformers?

Yes. We stage flatbeds and lowboys near Baltimore and dispatch into Fairland as loads fill. We do not ask you to arrange freight or deliver anything to us.

Do I need to have the transformer tested first?

No. Testing is never a condition of our offer. We assess the unit from photos, the nameplate and our own inspection at pickup.

What if the transformer is oil-filled or might contain PCBs?

We buy it either way. If the nameplate does not confirm non-PCB status we treat the unit as presumed-contaminated and price the correct disposal path into the offer. You are told plainly which category your unit is in.

When do I get paid?

Before the transformer leaves your property. Payment is not contingent on us reselling it.

Will you buy a single transformer in Fairland, or only large lots?

Both. One unit is worth a call, and if you have a yard full of change-outs we will quote the entire lot as one purchase.

What if the unit is still energized and connected?

That is normal. Tell us and we will coordinate the disconnection with your electrician or the utility, then handle teardown and rigging ourselves.
