Transformers buyers serving Burlingame
Burlingame sits in California, where PG&E, Southern California Edison, SMUD, LADWP feed the load and I-5, I-80, I-10, US-101 and the 405 carry the freight. Sites near those corridors cost us less to service, and that shows up in your offer rather than in our margin. Santa Clara, San Jose, Los Angeles, Sacramento and San Diego are routine stops and Burlingame work routes with them.
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 Burlingame site.

What we take out of Burlingame 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.
California specifics
Title 24 upgrades, refinery turnarounds in the Bay Area and Los Angeles basin, and aggressive PCB and oil handling rules under DTSC make California removals documentation-heavy; we quote the compliance work inside the offer rather than as an extra.

Burlingame questions
Do you actually buy electrical equipment in Burlingame, or just broker it?
We buy it. Industrial Electrical Buyer is the purchaser of record — we fund the purchase, send our own crews to Burlingame 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 Burlingame?
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 California continuously, small Burlingame pickups usually get added to an existing run rather than priced as a dedicated trip.
How fast can you get to a Burlingame site?
Written offers go out the same business day in nearly every case. After acceptance, typical mobilization to Burlingame 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.
Do we have to disconnect the equipment before you arrive?
No. We handle removal. Your electrician or the utility performs the final isolation and we verify it; from there our crews lock out, cut and cap cable at the gland, unbolt the sections, skate them out and load them. If the Burlingame room is still partly live we phase the work.
How do you handle transformer oil in Burlingame?
Oil is tested, drained and manifested through licensed handlers, and you receive the documentation with your paperwork. PCB-suspect units go under a separate waste profile. Nothing is left on your pad in Burlingame and nothing gets dumped — the handling cost is already in the offer.
