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

County
Fairfield County at a glance
Supply into Fairfield County comes off AEP Ohio lines, so a unit being retired there is almost always a distribution-class primary with a 480 or 208-volt secondary. A site manager who has already cleared the pad has done most of the work that matters.
Most of what a buyer needs to know is stamped on a plate the size of a postcard. A seller should be able to tell, from one phone call, whether the buyer has done this before.
What the county holds
A unit with a crushed radiator bank has lost capacity that the tag still claims. A unit with a welded cover cannot be inspected without cutting, which changes how it is bought.
A unit with a missing ground pad has probably been moved without a plan at some point. A three-phase unit with one damaged winding is still a three-phase unit, and the repair is priced accordingly.
Fairfield County's glass plants run furnaces that never cool, so their transformers carry a base load and rarely fail from cycling.
Towns we cover inside Fairfield County include Lancaster, Pickerington, Canal Winchester, and the buying loop reaches every one of them.
Logistics across Fairfield County
Downtown Fairfield County is harder than the industrial edge, and a unit in a basement there is a rigging project rather than a haul. A schedule that assumes the gate is open will discover otherwise at seven in the morning.
A municipal weight restriction can stop a move that the state would allow without a second look. 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.
What we look for
A unit that is documented is easier to move than one that is not, in every sense of the word. Every county in Ohio has a slightly different way of doing things, and a buyer who works statewide learns them all.
A buyer who works the whole state can move a unit to whichever plant needs it, which is why the coverage matters. A substation-class unit sits between what a plant can maintain and what a utility would own, which is why it changes hands.

Questions
What sellers ask before they call
Equipment types
Do you cover all of Fairfield County?
Sellers inside a closure or a bankruptcy need discretion as much as speed, and both are available here. Every county in the state is covered, from the lake shore to the river, and Fairfield County sits inside the regular loop. A buck-boost unit is almost always misapplied rather than worn out, and the diagram inside the cover explains why.
Service area
What does the utility picture look like in Fairfield County?
If a unit is scrap, we will tell you it is scrap instead of dressing it up as something better. Most of the transformers we pull out of Fairfield County were fed from a AEP Ohio substation, and the tag says so in the primary column. A buyer who cannot say where the unit will go is a broker, and brokers add a day and a deduction.
Payment
Can you reach a rural site in Fairfield County?
A single padmount is a half-day job once access is confirmed; a substation unit is a week of planning and a permit. If a trailer cannot get within reach, the unit gets moved twice, and the second move is the expensive one. The best outcome is a unit that leaves the site and turns up somewhere useful, and that happens more often than people expect.
