Why Sellers Choose Us

What an Old Jefferson switchgear sale involves on your end

01You Are Paid Before It Moves

Funds change hands before a single section leaves your property. There is no consignment and no waiting on a downstream resale.

02No Testing Is Required

You are never asked to test, energize, clean or repair the gear. Our team evaluates it from the nameplate photos and our own inspection.

03We Cover Freight and Rigging

Lowboys, flatbeds, cribbing, section separation and permits are billed to us. That cost is already priced into the offer you receive.

04Our Crews Handle Teardown

Disconnection coordination, dismantling, rigging out of the electrical room and loading are performed by our crews at our expense.

The Old Jefferson Market

Decommissioned switchgear in Old Jefferson does not have to be scrapped at metal price. We pay resale value on gear that still has it. Old Jefferson is one of many Louisiana towns we buy in, and the offer logic does not change with the zip code. Our offers are cash offers. Nothing is contingent on us reselling the equipment first.

Every class of distribution equipment is in scope. What we see most often in Old Jefferson is loose drawout air breakers on pallets and 15kV metal-clad lineups with vacuum breakers. Across Louisiana we also buy 2000A main-tie-main lineups from a light industrial park, molded case breakers by the pallet, untested and 600A and 800A distribution boards from mechanical rooms.

Who We Buy From

Our sellers here are typically electrical supply houses moving old inventory, demolition crews stripping a site, commercial property managers doing a tenant retrofit. We also buy from hospital and campus engineering groups and oil and gas service yards.

The circumstances behind those calls are consistent:

  • The site is scheduled for demolition and the electrical rooms have to clear first.
  • A cancelled or downsized build left new gear crated and never installed.
  • An arc flash study recommended replacing gear that was past its maintainable life.
  • Spare breakers were purchased years ago for a project that never proceeded.

Pickup and Freight in Old Jefferson

Our trucks already run through Baton Rouge, so a pickup in Old Jefferson rarely needs a special trip. Sections that will not fit through the door get separated on site and carried out piece by piece.

The gear is valued on its own merits. The cost of getting it out of Old Jefferson 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.

How the Sale Works

Four steps, none of which cost you anything

  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. Schedule on Your Terms

    Pickup in Old Jefferson is arranged around your outage window, plant shutdown or building access hours. Where a utility disconnect has to happen first, we coordinate the timing.

  4. 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.

Selling Switchgear in Old Jefferson: Common Questions

Straight answers

Do you actually come to Old Jefferson to pick up switchgear?

Yes. Our trucks already run through Baton Rouge, so a pickup in Old Jefferson rarely needs a special trip. 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 Old Jefferson, 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.
