Selling Surplus Transformers
Surplus Electrical Sales is a direct national buyer of transformers. We purchase dry-type and liquid-filled transformers across a wide kVA range. Surplus and decommissioned transformers carry strong value in both the resale and copper/aluminum reclamation markets, and we handle pickup and rigging. Because we buy directly and resell or recondition in-house, we can pay competitive prices and remove the unit from your facility at no cost to you.
Surplus transformers accumulate whenever facilities upgrade, expand, or shut down equipment. Rather than scrapping these assets for a fraction of their worth or letting them occupy valuable space, sell them to us and recover real value quickly.
What Affects Your transformer Payout
The cash value of transformers depends on brand, model/rating, condition, and quantity — there is no single fixed price. Obsolete and high-capacity units typically pay the most. The table below shows the factors we weigh when making an offer.
| Value Factor | How It Affects Your Cash Offer |
|---|---|
| kVA rating | larger units carry more value |
| Type | dry-type, liquid/oil-filled, cast-resin, pad-mount, or control |
| Copper vs. aluminum windings affect reclamation value | Affects the final cash offer |
| Brand, primary/secondary voltage, and overall condition | Affects the final cash offer |
| Quantity and whether rigging/removal is required | we handle and pay for it |
