Who We Are
Electrical Switchgear Buyer is a dedicated purchasing company for used and surplus electrical distribution equipment. We buy switchgear, transformers, circuit breakers, motor control centers, busway, transfer switches, generators, and complete substations from plants, contractors, demolition companies, and facility owners in all 50 states.
We are not a scrap yard and not a broker. We are direct buyers with our own capital, our own warehouse, and a nationwide rigging and freight network. Because we resell equipment into the replacement market — where plants need exact-match gear to keep running — we can pay prices that scrap value cannot touch.

How We Operate
Three promises define every transaction. Payments upfront: you are paid in full before the equipment leaves your site — no consignment, no net terms, no waiting. Zero testing required: photos and nameplates are all we ever ask for; we never require megger tests, inspection reports, or certifications. We handle all logistics: rigging crews, cranes, trucks, and heavy-haul permits are arranged and paid by us, on your schedule.
What We Look For
Everything from a single 15-amp breaker to a complete containerized substation. Current-production Schneider and Eaton, and obsolete Westinghouse, ITE, Allis-Chalmers, and Federal Pacific — obsolete gear is often the most valuable because facilities still running it have no other source of parts. Energized until demo day or warehoused for a decade, condition rarely disqualifies anything.
Who We Buy From
Electrical contractors with surplus from finished jobs. Demolition companies clearing industrial and commercial buildings. Facility and plant managers replacing aging distribution gear. Data centers refreshing power infrastructure. Utilities upgrading substations. Estates and warehouses liquidating decades of accumulated stock. One truck, one payment, everything gone.
