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
Seneca County at a glance
Supply into Seneca 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 yard with a dozen units in it is a record of what Ohio plants have been replacing.
Every county in Ohio has a slightly different way of doing things, and a buyer who works statewide learns them all. A unit with elevated gas that has been stable for a decade is a different proposition from one where the figure doubled.
What the county holds
A unit with a bolted cover and a gasket that has gone hard will leak at the first temperature swing. A gauge that reads ambient on a loaded transformer is a broken gauge, not a cold unit.
A cast resin unit tolerates damp air that would destroy a ventilated dry-type, which is why water plants use them. A three-phase unit with one damaged winding is still a three-phase unit, and the repair is priced accordingly.
Seneca County's food plants and small manufacturers hold a mix of padmounts and dry-types, and one buyer can cover the county in a morning.
Towns we cover inside Seneca County include Tiffin, Fostoria, and the buying loop reaches every one of them.
Logistics across Seneca County
The last hundred feet are the whole job in Seneca County, which is why we ask for photographs of the approach before we quote. A pad that does not drain will rust a tank base long before the winding fails, which is a cheap thing to check.
A step deck lowers the load and often removes the need for a permit, which is why padmounts travel that way. A gate that is four inches too narrow turns a morning into a week.
What we look for
A transformer with its original documentation is easier to insure, easier to resell and easier to explain. A cabinet that has been opened recently has probably been looked at by somebody who knew why.
Nothing about a transformer improves by waiting, and the oil in particular gets worse rather than better. A seller should keep the photographs after the sale, because the next buyer will ask for the same ones.

Questions
What sellers ask before they call
Equipment types
Do you cover all of Seneca County?
Nobody asks you to front the crane, the permits or the haul, and nobody nets those out of the offer afterwards. 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. Details that seem trivial on the phone become decisive on the pad, which is why they are asked about early.
Service area
What does the utility picture look like in Seneca County?
We ask what the unit is, where it sits, and what has to happen before it can leave; the rest is scheduling and signatures. 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 Seneca County. A unit that has been looked after is obvious within a minute, and so is one that has not.
Payment
Can you reach a rural site in Seneca County?
Site names, addresses and photographs stay in the file, and the file does not leave the desk. Bridge limits, municipal weight restrictions and construction zones all shape the route, and the route shapes the schedule. A mine-duty unit is designed to be dragged, and it looks it, which is not the same as being worn out.
