SwitchgearPetrochemicalHouston, TX2026-05

Square D QED Switchgear Lineup — Houston, TX

Equipment

Complete Square D QED Power-Style switchgear lineup (6 sections, 4000A main, twelve 800A-2000A feeder breakers)

Situation

A petrochemical facility along the Houston Ship Channel was upgrading their main electrical room as part of a plant modernization project. The existing Square D QED lineup was 12 years old but in excellent working condition — it was being replaced with newer arc-resistant switchgear to meet updated safety standards.

Outcome

We purchased the complete lineup including all breakers, bus, and enclosures. Our team coordinated removal timing with the plant's shutdown schedule and had everything loaded within one day. The seller received payment the same week.

Estimated Value Range: $45,000 - $65,000
Brand: Square D
Circuit BreakersCommercial Real EstateChicago, IL2026-04

Siemens Molded-Case Breakers (200+ units) — Chicago, IL

Equipment

214 Siemens molded-case circuit breakers (15A-400A), mix of QD, HQD, and FXD frames, most new-in-box

Situation

A large commercial property management company was consolidating three maintenance warehouses into one. They had accumulated spare breakers across dozens of buildings over 15+ years. Rather than continue storing inventory they would never use, they decided to liquidate.

Outcome

We inventoried all 214 breakers on-site, provided individual pricing by model and condition, and made a single bulk offer. The seller cleared three storage rooms and received a five-figure payment within 48 hours of pickup.

Estimated Value Range: $18,000 - $28,000
Brand: Siemens
PanelboardsData CenterAtlanta, GA2026-06

Eaton/Cutler-Hammer Pow-R-Line Panelboards — Atlanta, GA

Equipment

8 Eaton Pow-R-Line C panelboards (225A-400A) with full breaker complements, plus 45 individual Eaton breakers

Situation

A data center operator was decommissioning an older facility as they migrated workloads to a newer, more efficient building. The electrical distribution equipment was only 8 years old and in pristine condition — it simply didn't fit the new facility's design.

Outcome

We purchased all panelboards complete with breakers installed, plus the loose spares from their maintenance cage. Removal was coordinated with their decommissioning contractor to minimize disruption to the remaining active systems.

Estimated Value Range: $12,000 - $18,000
Brand: Eaton/Cutler-Hammer
SwitchgearManufacturingPhoenix, AZ2026-03

GE Spectra Series Switchboard — Phoenix, AZ

Equipment

GE Spectra Series switchboard (3000A main, 8 feeder sections) with GE PowerBreak II air circuit breakers

Situation

A semiconductor manufacturing facility was expanding production capacity and needed to replace their existing switchboard with higher-capacity equipment. The GE Spectra Series gear was 10 years old but had been maintained on a strict PM schedule and was in excellent operating condition.

Outcome

We provided a quote within 4 hours of receiving photos and nameplate data. Our crew removed the switchboard during the facility's scheduled shutdown weekend. The seller used the proceeds to offset the cost of their new equipment.

Estimated Value Range: $35,000 - $50,000
Brand: General Electric
Circuit BreakersElectrical ContractorDenver, CO2026-05

ABB SACE Tmax Breakers (Contractor Surplus) — Denver, CO

Equipment

32 ABB SACE Tmax T4, T5, and T6 molded-case breakers (250A-800A), all new-in-box with full warranty

Situation

An electrical contractor had over-ordered for a large hospital construction project. The project spec changed mid-construction, and 32 ABB breakers were left over. The supply house would only offer store credit at 60% of purchase price — the contractor wanted cash.

Outcome

We offered significantly more than the supply house credit and picked up the same week. The contractor received payment the day of pickup and has since called us for three additional surplus lots from other projects.

Estimated Value Range: $22,000 - $32,000
Brand: ABB
Air Circuit BreakersSteel ManufacturingPittsburgh, PA2026-02

Westinghouse DS-416 Air Breakers — Pittsburgh, PA

Equipment

4 Westinghouse DS-416 air circuit breakers (1600A) plus 2 DS-632 (3200A), with spare trip units and cell switches

Situation

A steel mill was replacing legacy Westinghouse switchgear that had been in service for 25+ years. Despite their age, these DS-series breakers are highly sought after because many facilities still operate Westinghouse gear and need compatible replacements that are no longer manufactured.

Outcome

These legacy breakers commanded premium pricing due to their scarcity in the secondary market. We purchased all units plus the spare parts inventory. The mill received top dollar for equipment they assumed had only scrap value.

Estimated Value Range: $28,000 - $42,000
Brand: Westinghouse
Mixed Electrical EquipmentHealthcareDallas, TX2026-06

Mixed Lot — Hospital Renovation — Dallas, TX

Equipment

Complete electrical room cleanout: 3 Square D I-Line panelboards, 2 GE AKD-8 switchgear sections, 89 assorted breakers (Square D, GE, Siemens), bus duct sections

Situation

A major hospital system was renovating two floors of a 1990s-era building. The renovation required complete electrical system replacement to support modern medical imaging equipment loads. The demolition contractor was tasked with removing all existing electrical equipment.

Outcome

We worked directly with the demolition contractor, providing a single quote for the entire electrical room contents. Our team removed everything in one day during the demolition window. The contractor earned additional revenue beyond their demolition contract.

Estimated Value Range: $15,000 - $25,000

Air Circuit BreakersCommercial OfficeSan Francisco, CA2026-04

Square D Masterpact NW Breakers — San Francisco, CA

Equipment

3 Square D Masterpact NW20 (2000A) and 2 NW32 (3200A) air circuit breakers with Micrologic trip units

Situation

A Class A office tower in San Francisco's Financial District was undergoing a major electrical infrastructure upgrade. The building's original Masterpact breakers were being replaced with newer models featuring enhanced arc-flash protection and IoT connectivity.

Outcome

These high-amperage Masterpact breakers hold exceptional resale value due to their premium construction and market demand. We provided a quote within 2 hours and coordinated removal with the building's engineering team during off-hours to avoid tenant disruption.

Estimated Value Range: $40,000 - $55,000
Brand: Square D
Motor Control CenterAutomotive ManufacturingDetroit, MI2026-03

Motor Control Center (Eaton Freedom) — Detroit, MI

Equipment

Eaton Freedom Series 2100 motor control center (12 sections, 38 starters ranging from NEMA 1 to NEMA 4, plus VFDs)

Situation

An automotive parts supplier was retooling a production line and the existing motor control center no longer matched the new equipment layout. The MCC was 7 years old with low operating hours — the line it controlled had been running single-shift only.

Outcome

We purchased the complete MCC including all starters, VFDs, and wiring. The buyer received a quote within 24 hours and payment within one week of removal. The equipment was in demand from another manufacturing facility expanding operations.

Estimated Value Range: $30,000 - $45,000
Brand: Eaton/Cutler-Hammer
Residential Breakers & PanelsResidential ElectricalOrlando, FL2026-01

Residential Breaker Lot (Electrician Retirement) — Orlando, FL

Equipment

~500 residential breakers (Square D Homeline, Siemens QP, Eaton BR/CH), mix of new and pulled, plus 12 residential panels

Situation

A residential electrician with 30 years in the trade was retiring and closing his shop. He had accumulated hundreds of breakers over decades — leftover from jobs, pulled during panel upgrades, purchased at closeout sales. His garage and van were full of electrical inventory.

Outcome

We drove to his location, sorted and inventoried everything on-site, and made a single cash offer for the entire lot. He cleared his garage in one afternoon and walked away with a check. Even at lower per-unit values, the volume made this a worthwhile purchase for both parties.

Estimated Value Range: $3,500 - $6,000
