How it works
Six steps from your yard to the money
- 01
Take pictures
The nameplate, the cabinet interior and the tank in daylight. Three photographs are usually enough to place a unit in the right class and the right price band.
- 02
Send them to us
The form on this page, a text or an email all reach the same desk. Include the city, the access and any deadline the site is working to.
- 03
Review the offer
A buyer reads the photographs, asks one or two questions and sends a written offer with the assumptions stated, so nothing changes on the day.
- 04
We schedule freight
Crane, flatbed and permits are booked around your access. You get a date and a window, and we carry the cost of getting it right.
- 05
Testing on arrival
Winding resistance, megger and turns ratio, plus oil analysis where the unit is liquid filled. The results decide the final number, and you see them.
- 06

Fayette County
Washington Court House and the system behind it
AES Ohio runs the circuits that feed most of Washington Court House, so the primary voltage on a unit coming out of there is usually distribution class rather than transmission class. The photograph of the nameplate is worth more than a page of description, and it takes about four seconds to take.
A unit with a bolted cover and a gasket that has gone hard will leak at the first temperature swing. Harmonics put current on the neutral and heat in the core, and a standard unit dislikes both.
The industrial base that holds the transformers
A short conversation at the start saves an argument at the gate, and the argument is the expensive part. The second data plate on a rebuilt unit matters more than the first, and it is easy to photograph by mistake.
A flat county with wide roads makes a heavy move routine, and the number reflects it. A unit with a clean surround has usually been maintained by somebody who cared, and that shows in the oil.
Washington Court House is farm country with a rail line through it, so the transformers there are as likely to sit at a grain facility as at a factory.
Rail, road and the last hundred feet
The road route out of Washington Court House runs on US-35 and SR-3, and the bridge limits along it decide the trailer. A crew that has worked the county before knows which road floods and which bridge is closed for repair.
A site with a loading dock and a level apron is a morning's work, and the same unit behind a fence is a day. A plant on a narrow river road is a scheduled event rather than an errand, and everybody involved knows it.
What we look for in Washington Court House
Most of what a buyer needs to know is stamped on a plate the size of a postcard. A plant engineer who knows the fault history is worth more than a file of invoices.

Questions
What sellers ask before they call
Equipment types
Do you buy transformers in Washington Court House?
Most units leave within a week of the number being agreed, and a unit that has to clear a site by Friday can usually be gone by Friday. We buy in Ohio and only in Ohio, which is why a truck can be at a Washington Court House gate the same week the number is agreed. A hot mechanical room quietly derates everything in it, and nobody notices until a unit fails early.
Service area
Which utility serves Washington Court House, and does that matter?
You send a photograph of the nameplate, a buyer reads it, and you get a number with the conditions attached instead of a range that means nothing. A AES Ohio upgrade in Washington Court House is one of the most common reasons a perfectly serviceable transformer ends up surplus. A purchase that finishes in a week is normal, and one that finishes in a day is a favour returned.
Payment
How do you get a heavy unit out of Washington Court House?
Answers come back the same day in most cases, and the truck is scheduled the moment the paperwork is signed. Downtown Washington Court House is harder than the industrial edge, and a unit in a basement there is a rigging project rather than a haul. A mine-duty unit is designed to be dragged, and it looks it, which is not the same as being worn out.
