Transformers buyers serving Burien
Our Washington routing runs along I-5, I-90, I-405 and SR-167, which keeps crew and trailer cost predictable for Burien projects. Coordination with Puget Sound Energy, Seattle City Light, Avista, Grant County PUD on clearances, metering removal and final disconnect is part of the scope, not a change order.
Documentation travels with the job: a certificate of insurance naming your entity, a W-9, a signed purchase agreement itemizing each asset and its price, oil or PCB manifests where applicable, and weight tickets or a bill of lading for what leaves the Burien site.

What we take out of Burien sites
Liquid-filled pad-mount and station class
Oil-filled pad-mount and pole-mount units, loop-feed and radial, unit substations with their primary switching and secondary sections, and station-class power transformers with tap changers, radiators and conservators. Oil is tested for PCB content before anything moves, and the manifests come with your paperwork.
Dry-type and cast coil
Ventilated dry-type and cast-coil units from 15 kVA through 5 MVA, including 480 V to 208 V step-downs, K-rated units specified for harmonic loads, and drive isolation transformers. Dry-types move easily, resell quickly and generally carry a strong number relative to their weight.
Washington specifics
Aerospace, aluminum and food processing operations plus Bonneville-territory utility upgrades put large switchgear, rectifier transformers and MV cable on the market, and Puget Sound port access helps on export loads.

Burien questions
When do we get paid?
Before the equipment leaves your Burien dock. Wire, company check or cashier's check, whichever your accounting group prefers. On large phased projects we pay per load as it ships rather than holding everything until the end.
What if the equipment is old or has no test records?
We still quote it. Records raise the number — a NETA test report on a breaker or a transformer is the single document that most improves what we can pay — but their absence disqualifies nothing. We price Burien equipment on what our technicians and the replacement market say it is worth.
Are you insured to work inside our Burien facility?
Yes. We carry general liability, auto, workers' compensation and umbrella coverage, and we issue a certificate naming your entity as additional insured before crews mobilize to Burien. We also complete vendor onboarding, background checks and site-specific safety orientation on request.
Can you work nights, weekends or during a shutdown in Burien?
Regularly. Most electrical removals happen outside production hours because that is when circuits can be released. Night, weekend, holiday and turnaround windows in Burien are normal scheduling for us, not a premium service.
What happens to the equipment after you buy it?
Serviceable gear is tested, reconditioned where needed and resold as replacement equipment — that resale is what funds your offer. What cannot go back into service is dismantled for copper, aluminum and steel recovery through permitted processors, with regulated fractions documented.
