Electrical Transformer Buyers serving Redmond
Redmond facility and construction teams call us when equipment is coming out and nobody wants to coordinate an electrician, a rigger and a hauler around one outage window. We are all three, and we pay you for the equipment on top of it rather than charging you to haul it away.
The Westin Building Exchange in Seattle is the Pacific Northwest's primary interconnection point, and cheap hydro power in Quincy and Grant County built a hyperscale cluster that now retires equipment in volume. For Redmond specifically that density helps: we already move crews through Seattle, Quincy, Redmond, Tacoma and Spokane, so mobilization becomes a scheduling question instead of a cost problem.
What we buy
Pad-mount and unit substation
Oil-filled pad-mount transformers and unit substations from 75 kVA through 10 MVA, loop-feed or radial, with or without their primary switching. These are the units sitting on a pad outside the building or in a vault feeding the service entrance. We test for PCB content, handle oil containment during the move, and provide the manifests that go with it.
Dry-type and cast coil
Ventilated dry-type and cast-coil transformers from 15 kVA through 3 MVA, including the 480V-to-208V step-down units feeding PDUs and the K-rated units specified for harmonic loads. Dry-types move easily and resell quickly, so they usually carry a strong number relative to their weight.
Isolation, K-rated and specialty
Isolation transformers built into PDUs and RPPs, K-4 through K-20 rated units, drive isolation transformers, harmonic mitigating transformers and three-phase autotransformers. If it is copper or aluminum wound and it stepped voltage in your facility, it is in scope.
How a project runs
The sequence is short. You send nameplate photos, a one-line diagram or just a list. We return a written itemized offer the same business day with a proposed removal window. On acceptance we survey access in Redmond — door widths, floor loading, dock, elevator, crane needs — then mobilize, de-energize, disconnect, rig, load and sweep. Payment before the truck leaves.
Transformer value is driven by kVA, winding material, voltage class and condition, and copper-wound units are worth meaningfully more than aluminum. Nameplate photos are the single most useful thing you can send us — they resolve kVA, primary and secondary voltage, impedance and winding material in one shot.
Manufacturers
Most common in this market: Square D, Eaton/Cutler-Hammer, GE/ABB, Siemens, Hammond, Federal Pacific, Acme, Jefferson, Howard, Olsun. Unusual brands are still purchased — they simply price against a thinner buyer pool.
What you are actually buying from us
We do the decommissioning
Our crews rack out the hardware, de-energize and pull the electrical distribution, recover refrigerant, drain glycol, cut and cap piping, and break down containment and cabinets. You are not hiring a broker who then hires a rigger who then hires a hauler. One company, one point of contact, one insurance certificate.
We do the loading
Rigging, lift and crane work, dock plates, pallets, stretch wrap, load bars, straps and the trucks themselves are ours. Overhead busway comes down on lifts. Generators and chillers go out on cranes. Servers leave palletized and manifested. Nothing about the load-out becomes your problem.
Payment before the truck leaves
You are paid in full before equipment leaves your dock — wire, company check or cashier's check, your choice. No consignment, no percentage of eventual resale, no invoice you have to chase. The racks stay where they are until the money has landed.
Drive destruction, documented
Every data-bearing device is degaussed and physically destroyed, on your floor if you prefer. You receive a certificate of destruction listing serial numbers and a chain-of-custody record signed at each handoff, formatted so your audit team can reconcile it against your asset register.
The room is left clean
Floor tiles reset, penetrations patched, abandoned cable removed, debris hauled, and the space swept. Where a landlord or lease requires a specific restoration standard, we work to it and document the result with photographs before and after.
Written offers that hold
Quotes are written, itemized by category, and hold for thirty days. If your process needs a formal bid document, a W-9, a certificate of insurance naming your entity, or a purchase order reference on the offer, say so and it is on the paperwork.
Also buying in Redmond
If this equipment is coming out as part of a wider project, we buy the rest of the room too — IT, power and cooling:
UPS Systems
We buy three-phase uninterruptible power supplies out of live and decommissioned white space: modular frames, monolithic units, matching battery cabinets and the static switches that go with them.
10 kVA – 2.5 MVA modulesFloor-mount, RPP and rack PDUsPDUs
Floor-mount PDUs with integral transformers, remote power panels, and metered or switched rack PDUs by the pallet — we buy all three tiers of distribution.
50 kVA – 1000 kVA floor unitsOverhead track, tap boxes, elbowsBusway
Overhead busway is the most reusable thing in a white space and the most commonly thrown away. We buy full runs, tap-off boxes, elbows and end feeds.
225 A – 5000 A runsLV and MV, ATS, breakersSwitchgear
Low-voltage lineups, medium-voltage metal-clad gear, automatic transfer switches and loose breakers — bought as complete lineups or section by section.
480 V – 38 kV lineupsDiesel and gas, enclosed or openGenerators
Standby diesel and natural gas generator sets, sub-base and belly tanks, paralleling gear and radiator packages — running or not.
100 kW – 3 MW standby setsAir-cooled, water-cooled, CRAH/CRACChillers
Air-cooled and water-cooled chillers, cooling towers, CRAC and CRAH units, pumps and dry coolers — the whole mechanical plant.
50 – 2000 ton capacityCompute, storage, network, GPUServers
Rackmount compute, storage arrays, network gear and GPU nodes — bought by the rack or by the hall, with documented data destruction.
Single racks – full hallsEverything the equipment sits inData Center Infrastructure
Cabinets, containment, cable tray, raised floor, fiber and copper plant — the structure everything else was mounted in.
