Get an Offer on Your Transformer

Get an offer on your transformer with the form below

Use the form below to tell us what you have and where it is located. We buy any brand, from 10 kVA pole-mounted units to large MVA substation and power transformers. kVA and MVA describe a transformer's rated capacity; one MVA equals 1,000 kVA.

Equipment can be new in a crate, previously installed, working or failed. If you are thinking, I need to sell my transformer after a replacement, shutdown or canceled project, start with the equipment details you already have. You do not need to identify every specification before sending the nameplate.

For a broader look at eligible equipment, see the transformer types we buy. Include the full lot if you have multiple units available, rather than submitting only the best-looking transformer.

What to include in your offer request

Give us enough information to identify the equipment and understand the pickup location. For a mixed lot, list each transformer separately and match its photos to that entry. This helps keep different ratings, conditions and quantities from getting confused.

A useful transformer quote starts with readable specifications and an accurate description of condition. Say whether a unit is new surplus, used, retired or failed, and describe any known damage or missing components. If the cause of a failure is unknown, say so rather than guessing.

• Contact details: your name and the phone number or email address where we can discuss the equipment.
• Quantity and location: the number of units, Texas city, pickup address and any important site-access information.
• Identification: a nameplate photo for each different unit, plus overall photos showing the equipment.
• Condition: whether each unit is working or failed, installed or already removed, and any known leaks, damage or missing parts.
• Available records: specifications, drawings or test reports that help describe the equipment, if you have them.

Take photos that identify the unit and its condition

Start with a close, straight-on photo of the nameplate. Keep the entire plate in frame and check that the lettering is readable before sending it. If glare obscures the text, change your angle or take another photo from a safe position.

The plate typically identifies capacity, primary and secondary voltage—the incoming and outgoing voltage ratings—and other design details. Our guide to reading a transformer nameplate explains where to find those specifications.

Next, photograph the whole transformer from several sides, including visible terminals, cabinets, radiators and accessories. Add close-ups of damage, corrosion, leaks or missing pieces. For crated equipment, photograph the outside markings and any accessible identification without unpacking it solely for photos.

Do not open energized compartments or approach exposed electrical parts to get a better picture. Photograph only what you can safely access, and note anything that cannot be shown. Use the transformer photo checklist to organize a useful set of images.

What happens after you submit

We evaluate the details you send and respond with an offer. The nameplate, photos, quantity, location and condition provide the basis for that evaluation. If a detail needs clarification, keep the relevant photos or records available for discussion.

Before anything is loaded, we agree on price, payment terms and pickup details in writing. That agreement establishes the transaction details before equipment leaves the site. Read about how the selling process works before submitting.

Keep your submission focused on the equipment information needed for evaluation and purchase. Avoid including unrelated personal records, passwords or confidential project documents. When a larger document contains the relevant specifications, send the equipment-specific page or excerpt.

Plan disconnection, site access and pickup

The seller or the seller's qualified electrical contractor must de-energize and disconnect the transformer. We coordinate trucking, pickup and load-out with the seller. Tell us whether the equipment remains installed or is already staged for loading.

Describe conditions that affect access, such as gates, limited truck space, indoor placement or site scheduling requirements. Include available dimensions and weight information when you have it. These details help define pickup arrangements before loading.

For oil-filled equipment, include any existing PCB labels or oil-test records. PCB means polychlorinated biphenyls, a regulated group of chemicals associated with some older electrical equipment. The guide to PCB labels and transformer oil testing explains the information to look for.

We operate from our Houston yard at 6402 McGrew St, Houston, TX 77087. We buy from sellers statewide and coordinate freight from their locations; see our Texas service coverage for statewide selling information.

Call, text or email your equipment details

To get an offer on your transformer without using the form, call or text (951) 403-5738 or email Industrial832@gmail.com. Texting or emailing lets you include nameplate and overall photos with the quantity, location and condition.

If you prefer to contact a transformer buyer by phone first, have the unit count and pickup city ready. You can then send photos to support the equipment evaluation. For a larger lot, use a consistent label for each unit in both your message and photo filenames.

Choose the contact method that makes it easiest to share clear details. The form below is another way to send the same information and start the offer process.
