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
Get paid
Payment is released on the agreed terms once the unit is received and tested, by check or ACH. No retention, no sixty-day terms.

PCB paperwork
Pre-1979 units get the testing and the manifest they need.
County
Fayette County at a glance
AES Ohio serves Fayette County and the surrounding Fayette County ground, which is why a municipal seller and a plant seller there often need the same paperwork. A buyer who explains the reasoning gets a second call, and the second call is where the good units are.
A unit that was replaced during an upgrade is almost always a better buy than one that failed on a Tuesday. The unit will outlast the building it serves, which is why so many of them change hands.
What the county holds
A transformer is one of the few pieces of plant equipment that keeps a meaningful value after it has been disconnected. A marine unit corrodes at the enclosure long before the winding notices, so the cabinet is the first inspection.
Phase loss damage is often confined to one winding, which makes the unit a rebuild candidate rather than scrap. A padmount that has stood in the same spot for thirty years will have settled, and the cabinet will tell you how far.
Fayette County is farm country with a rail line and two industrial parks, and the transformer stock there is small, clean and easy to document.
Towns we cover inside Fayette County include Washington Court House, and the buying loop reaches every one of them.
Logistics across Fayette County
The tight spots in Fayette County are the older plant sites, where the pad was poured before anybody thought about a forty-foot trailer. A mobile substation without its protection package is a transformer on a trailer, and it is priced accordingly.
A driveway that slopes towards the building will not take a loaded trailer in the rain. A rooftop pad needs a crane with the reach to clear the parapet, and the load chart decides the crane size.
What we look for
A unit that has been in service is a known quantity, and a unit that has been idle is a question. Most of what a buyer needs to know is stamped on a plate the size of a postcard.
A buyer who quotes without asking anything has quoted for a different transformer. A unit that came out of a working plant is almost always the better buy, and sellers rarely realise it.

Questions
What sellers ask before they call
Equipment types
Do you cover all of Fayette County?
The figure we agree is the figure that lands, because rigging and freight are ours to carry, not yours to absorb. We buy in Ohio and only in Ohio, which is why a truck can be at a Fayette County gate the same week the number is agreed. A unit with elevated gas that has been stable for a decade is a different proposition from one where the figure doubled.
Service area
What does the utility picture look like in Fayette County?
We do not photograph a site for publication and we do not name a seller in anything we write. Knowing which side of the meter a unit sits on decides who can actually sell it, and that is the first question we ask in Fayette County. A unit described honestly sells faster than one described optimistically, because the second one gets renegotiated.
Payment
Can you reach a rural site in Fayette County?
Demolition schedules, lease expirations and closing dates all work the same way here: give us the date and we work to it. We handle the permit application, the escorts and the curfew restrictions, so the seller does not have to learn the process. A seller with a deadline should say so early, because the schedule is built around the date rather than the unit.
