Transformers buyers serving Irvine
Irvine 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 Irvine work routes with them.
Once an offer is accepted we schedule around your outage, not ours. Night, weekend and phased removals in Irvine are ordinary work. Crews arrive with their own rigging, lifts and containment, protect the floors and leave the room broom clean.

What we take out of Irvine 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.

Irvine questions
What is the smallest job you will take in Irvine?
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 Irvine pickups usually get added to an existing run rather than priced as a dedicated trip.
How fast can you get to a Irvine site?
Written offers go out the same business day in nearly every case. After acceptance, typical mobilization to Irvine 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 Irvine room is still partly live we phase the work.
How do you handle transformer oil in Irvine?
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 Irvine and nothing gets dumped — the handling cost is already in the offer.
When do we get paid?
Before the equipment leaves your Irvine 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.
