Chillers buyers in San Jose
If you have chillers to sell in San Jose, the fastest path to a real number is a make, model and quantity list. We price against the working secondary market for this equipment class, subtract our own removal cost openly, and send a written itemized offer the same business day.
We treat California as one service area rather than a list of cities. Crews moving between Santa Clara, San Jose, Los Angeles, Sacramento and San Diego pass through San Jose regularly, which is why a single UPS or a couple of cabinets is still worth quoting here — we can add it to an existing run instead of pricing a dedicated trip.
What we buy: Chillers
Mechanical plant
Air-cooled screw and scroll chillers, water-cooled centrifugal machines from 50 to 2000 tons, magnetic bearing units, modular chiller banks, cooling towers, dry coolers, plate and frame heat exchangers, primary and secondary pumps, and the VFDs that run them.
White space cooling
Perimeter CRAC and CRAH units, in-row coolers, rear-door heat exchangers and containment hardware. Newer variable-speed in-row units hold strong resale value. Older downflow units with R-22 circuits are refrigerant recovery and metal, and we handle them as such rather than pretending otherwise.
Refrigerant and glycol
Certified recovery of refrigerant before any line is cut, glycol drain-down and disposal, and cap-off of chilled water piping at the points you specify. You receive the recovery documentation. Roof penetrations get patched, curbs left sound.
How a project runs
For San Jose sites we quote two ways when it helps: a single number for the room as it sits, and a line-by-line itemization so you can see what the UPS, the gensets, the chillers and the IT are each contributing. Some teams need the lump sum for approval speed; others need the detail for asset records. You can have both.
How the offer is built
What drives the number is condition, generation and demand, in that order. A modular UPS with its power modules intact is worth substantially more than the same frame stripped. A generator with documented low hours and recent load bank results beats an identical unit with no records. Recent-generation servers hold real value; anything past its useful platform life is priced closer to material. We will tell you which bucket your San Jose equipment falls into before you commit to anything.
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.
