Why Sellers Choose Us
What a Burke switchgear sale involves on your end
Funds change hands before a single section leaves your property. There is no consignment and no waiting on a downstream resale.
You are never asked to test, energize, clean or repair the gear. Our team evaluates it from the nameplate photos and our own inspection.
Lowboys, flatbeds, cribbing, section separation and permits are billed to us. That cost is already priced into the offer you receive.
Disconnection coordination, dismantling, rigging out of the electrical room and loading are performed by our crews at our expense.
Switchgear We Buy in Burke
Every class is in scope, from branch panelboards to metal-clad medium voltage lineups
The Burke Market
We buy switchgear across Virginia, and Burke pickups are scheduled around your outage window rather than ours. Whether your gear is in Burke or another corner of Virginia, the process and the price basis are identical. There is no consignment and no waiting to see what it sells for. We buy the equipment outright and assume responsibility for the logistics.
Every class of distribution equipment is in scope. What we see most often in Burke is plug-in busway runs with bus plugs attached and motor control centers with full starter buckets. Across Virginia we also buy 15kV metal-clad lineups with vacuum breakers, MCC sections with VFD buckets still installed and arc-resistant lineups from a cancelled build.
Who We Buy From
Our sellers here are typically solar and wind EPC firms with leftover equipment, demolition crews stripping a site, industrial auctioneers with unsold lots. We also buy from utility contractors with surplus stock and warehouse and distribution center owners.
The reasons vary less than you would expect:
- A ground lease is ending and the yard has to be returned empty.
- A service upgrade left the original lineup stranded at the wrong amperage.
- An arc flash study recommended replacing gear that was past its maintainable life.
- A flood or storm replacement has arrived and the damaged gear needs to be removed.
Pickup and Freight in Burke
Burke is an easy run for us off the Richmond lane, which keeps our freight cost down and our offer up. If the lineup is in a basement electrical room or up a ramp, tell us and we will bring the right rigging.
The gear is valued on its own merits. The cost of getting it out of Burke is absorbed on our side. Sellers who already hold a scrap quote often find the difference substantial, because a scrap figure deducts hauling and ignores what the breakers, buckets and bus are worth to somebody who needs them.
Common Virginia Equipment
Arc-Resistant Switchgear
Type 2B arc-resistant lineups with plenums and pressure relief, low and medium voltage.

Quote a Burke Lineup
Send a nameplate photo and receive a firm number, usually the same day.
How the Sale Works
Four steps, none of which cost you anything
Send What You Have
A photograph of the nameplate and one wide shot down the front of the lineup is enough to begin. If the nameplate is gone, photograph the gear anyway and we will work from the construction, the bus and the breaker frames.
Receive a Firm Offer
We respond with a committed cash figure, usually the same day. It is an offer rather than an estimate, and it does not move afterward.
Schedule on Your Terms
Pickup in Burke is arranged around your outage window, plant shutdown or building access hours. Where a utility disconnect has to happen first, we coordinate the timing.
We Pay, Then We Haul
Payment is completed before anything moves. Our crew performs the teardown, the section separation, the rigging and the loading, and our truck removes it.
Also Buying Across Virginia
We cover 218 locations in Virginia.
Selling Switchgear in Burke: Common Questions
Straight answers
Do you actually come to Burke to pick up switchgear?
Yes. Burke is an easy run for us off the Richmond lane, which keeps our freight cost down and our offer up. We do not ask you to arrange freight, separate sections or deliver anything to us.
Do I need to have the gear tested first?
No. Testing is never a condition of our offer. We assess a lineup from photos, the nameplate and our own inspection at pickup.
What if the breakers have already been pulled out?
We still buy it. A complete lineup with its breakers installed is worth more, but empty structures have real value in bus and steel, and loose breakers sitting on a shelf are worth quoting on their own. Tell us what is still there and what has already gone.
When do I get paid?
Before anything leaves your property. Payment is not contingent on us reselling the equipment afterward.
Will you buy a single section in Burke, or only full lineups?
Both. One switchboard section is worth a call, and if you have a full electrical room or several buildings coming down we will quote the entire lot as one purchase.
What if the lineup is still energized and in service?
That is normal. Tell us and we will coordinate the disconnection timing with your electrician or the utility, then handle the teardown and rigging ourselves.
