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.
What we handle for you
The parts sellers dread, done for you
Rigging
Crane and forklift arranged around your access, not the other way round.
Oil containment
Bunds, absorbent and disposal handled before the unit moves.
Bill of sale
A clean title document for your records, signed on collection.
PCB paperwork
Pre-1979 units get the testing and the manifest they need.
County
Greene County at a glance
AES Ohio serves Greene County and the surrounding Greene County ground, which is why a municipal seller and a plant seller there often need the same paperwork. A mine-duty unit is designed to be dragged, and it looks it, which is not the same as being worn out.
The question that decides most purchases is not what the unit is but where it has to go next. A buyer who cannot say where the unit will go is a broker, and brokers add a day and a deduction.
What the county holds
A dry-type with dust on the windings has been in a room nobody cleaned, and the dust holds moisture. A padmount that has stood in the same spot for thirty years will have settled, and the cabinet will tell you how far.
Capping the bushings before storage is the single cheapest thing anybody can do for a transformer. A gauge that reads ambient on a loaded transformer is a broken gauge, not a cold unit.
Greene County rebuilt after the 1974 tornado, which is why its transformer stock is younger than its neighbours' and better documented.
Towns we cover inside Greene County include Beavercreek, Xenia, Yellow Springs, and the buying loop reaches every one of them.
Logistics across Greene County
Downtown Greene County is harder than the industrial edge, and a unit in a basement there is a rigging project rather than a haul. Most sellers underestimate the lift and overestimate the drive, which is the opposite of how the cost actually falls.
Ground that has been wet for a week will not hold an outrigger, whatever it looks like from the cab. A lift over a fence needs a crane with reach, and reach costs more than capacity.
What we look for
A site that has been photographed properly can be quoted without a visit, and the visit is only a confirmation. A transformer is heavy, oily, regulated and awkward, and every part of the process reflects that.
A plant engineer who knows the fault history is worth more than a file of invoices. A short list of photographs covers the cabinet, the tag, the bushings and the access, and nothing else is needed at the start.

Questions
What sellers ask before they call
Equipment types
Do you cover all of Greene County?
There is no middle layer taking a spread: the desk that quotes is the desk that pays and the desk that sends the truck. Every county in the state is covered, from the lake shore to the river, and Greene County sits inside the regular loop. A seller should be able to tell, from one phone call, whether the buyer has done this before.
Service area
What does the utility picture look like in Greene County?
A municipal seller needs an invoice and a W-9; a plant needs a wire against a bill of sale. We do both without drama. Most of the transformers we pull out of Greene County were fed from a AES Ohio substation, and the tag says so in the primary column. A desk that buys for its own account answers with a figure rather than a promise to find one.
Payment
Can you reach a rural site in Greene County?
Ohio only is not a limitation for us, it is why the logistics work: the crews, the cranes and the permits are all in-state. Access decides more deals than condition does: a unit behind a locked gate with a low wire across the drive is a problem to solve, not a reason to walk. A unit that came out of a working plant is almost always the better buy, and sellers rarely realise it.
