San Francisco, CA: Transformers Purchase and Removal

Transformers we buy in San Francisco
We treat California as one service area rather than a list of towns. Crews moving between Santa Clara, San Jose, Los Angeles, Sacramento and San Diego pass through San Francisco regularly, which is why a single transformer or a pallet of bus plugs is still worth quoting here — we add it to an existing run instead of pricing a dedicated trip.
Paperwork travels with the job: a certificate of insurance naming your entity, a W-9, a signed purchase agreement listing every asset and its price, oil test and disposal manifests where transformers are in scope, and weight tickets or a bill of lading for what leaves the San Francisco site. Maintenance, EHS and accounting each get the document they need.

What it is worth
Copper is the floor under most of this equipment, and it is a floor that moves. Bus bar, windings and feeder cable set a minimum value we can always pay on a San Francisco lot; resale demand for the specific make and model is what lifts the offer above it. Obsolete bus plugs and discontinued panelboard interiors are the clearest example — unglamorous parts that plants cannot buy new anywhere.
California note
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.

Questions
How fast can you get to a San Francisco site?
Written offers go out the same business day in nearly every case. After acceptance, typical mobilization to San Francisco 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 San Francisco room is still partly live we phase the work.
How do you handle transformer oil in San Francisco?
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 San Francisco and nothing gets dumped — the handling cost is already in the offer.
When do we get paid?
Before the equipment leaves your San Francisco 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.
