Transformers buyers serving Lochearn
Lochearn sits in Maryland, where BGE, Pepco, Delmarva Power, SMECO feed the load and I-95, I-495, I-270 and I-695 carry the freight. Sites near those corridors cost us less to service, and that shows up in your offer rather than in our margin. Baltimore, Columbia, Silver Spring and Annapolis are routine stops and Lochearn work routes with them.
If the Lochearn equipment is still carrying load we phase it — dead sections and spares first, distribution as circuits are released, the main line-up on the final clearance. The phasing is written into the offer so nobody improvises in an energized room at two in the morning.

What we take out of Lochearn 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.
Maryland specifics
Federal, university and hospital campuses in the Baltimore-Washington corridor upgrade essential electrical systems on a documented schedule, which produces well-tested gensets and transfer switches.

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