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
Medina County at a glance
A FirstEnergy upgrade in Medina County is one of the most common reasons a perfectly serviceable transformer ends up surplus. A buyer who quotes without asking anything has quoted for a different transformer.
A seller should never feel rushed into a decision, and a buyer should never need to rush one. Paint is a cosmetic question, and seam rust is a structural one, and the two are often confused.
What the county holds
A dry-type with dust on the windings has been in a room nobody cleaned, and the dust holds moisture. Bushings fail far more often than windings, and they are far cheaper to replace.
A seized tap link turns a five-minute voltage change into a tank opening, which is worth knowing before the sale. A bushing replaced with the wrong length changes the clearance, which is a safety matter rather than a cosmetic one.
Medina County's manufacturers are spread along the valley, and a padmount there is often closer to a property line than a trailer would like.
Towns we cover inside Medina County include Brunswick, and the buying loop reaches every one of them.
Logistics across Medina County
The last hundred feet are the whole job in Medina County, which is why we ask for photographs of the approach before we quote. A site with a hard deadline should be scheduled backwards from the crane, not forwards from the phone call.
A trailer that cannot turn around will reverse out, and reversing out takes an hour. A trailer needs somewhere to stand, and the place it stands is rarely the place the site had in mind.
What we look for
The order of work is always the same: look, measure, test, agree, lift, pay. An insurance salvage is bought on the adjuster's valuation rather than the seller's hope, which keeps the process honest.
A unit that has been looked after is obvious within a minute, and so is one that has not. A unit that has been disconnected for a year is not the same proposition as one that came out last week.

Questions
What sellers ask before they call
Equipment types
Do you cover all of Medina County?
We are not a marketplace and we are not an auction, so there is one buyer in the conversation and it is us. We do not buy in Pennsylvania, Michigan, Kentucky, Indiana or West Virginia, and we say so rather than waste a seller's week. A buyer's first question is about the rating and the second is about the access, in that order.
Service area
What does the utility picture look like in Medina County?
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. FirstEnergy serves Medina County and the surrounding Medina County ground, which is why a municipal seller and a plant seller there often need the same paperwork. A seller should ask what happens to the unit after it leaves, because the answer says what kind of buyer they are dealing with.
Payment
Can you reach a rural site in Medina County?
The last thing we need is a contact on site who can open a gate, and that is often the hardest thing to arrange. Some Ohio cities restrict heavy moves to certain hours, and a downtown pickup is planned around that. A unit that was replaced during an upgrade is almost always a better buy than one that failed on a Tuesday.
