Circuit Breakers buyers serving Metairie
We treat Louisiana as a single service area instead of a list of towns. That is why a single item in Metairie is still worth quoting — it gets added to an existing run between New Orleans, Baton Rouge, Shreveport and Lafayette rather than priced as a dedicated trip.
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 Metairie — door widths, floor loading, dock, elevator, crane needs — then mobilize, lock out, disconnect, rig, load and sweep. Payment before the truck leaves.

What we take out of Metairie sites
Molded-case breakers
15 A through 2,500 A molded-case breakers of every major line, bolt-on and plug-in, with or without trip units. Discontinued Federal Pacific, Zinsco, Challenger, ITE and older Westinghouse frames are in constant demand for repair work.
Low-voltage power and insulated case
Drawout and fixed low-voltage power breakers — GE AKR and Magne-Blast lines, Square D Masterpact and DS, Eaton Magnum, Siemens — 800 A through 6,000 A, with electronic or electromechanical trips. Matched sets from a single switchgear order are worth quoting together.
Louisiana specifics
Gulf Coast petrochemical turnarounds are the dominant source of medium-voltage switchgear, MV MCCs and large rectifier transformers in the state, and hot-work permitting is standard on our crews' scope.

Metairie questions
Will you take the equipment we cannot sell along with the good items?
Yes, and this is usually why sellers choose us. Cherry-picking leaves you holding the leftovers of the leftovers. We price the Metairie lot as a whole — good gear, obsolete gear and the scrap fraction together — so the electrical room ends up genuinely empty.
Do you provide documentation for surplus property or audit records?
Yes. Itemized purchase agreements, weight tickets, bills of lading, oil disposal manifests and recycling documentation are standard on Metairie purchases. Public agencies and audited facilities get the paperwork their process requires without having to ask twice.
Do you actually buy electrical equipment in Metairie, or just broker it?
We buy it. Industrial Electrical Buyer is the purchaser of record — we fund the purchase, send our own crews to Metairie to disconnect and load, and take title when the equipment leaves your dock. There is no third party behind us waiting to approve the price.
What is the smallest job you will take in Metairie?
A single transformer, one switchgear section, a pallet of bus plugs or a few boxes of breakers is worth a call. Because we route crews across Louisiana continuously, small Metairie pickups usually get added to an existing run rather than priced as a dedicated trip.
How fast can you get to a Metairie site?
Written offers go out the same business day in nearly every case. After acceptance, typical mobilization to Metairie is a few business days for a straightforward removal and one to two weeks for a full plant scope that needs phasing, rigging plans or utility coordination.
