Question 1

Who buys used switchgear?

Accepted Answer

Surplus Electrical Buyer purchases all types of switchgear nationwide — low-voltage and medium-voltage, indoor and outdoor, from all manufacturers including Square D, Siemens, Eaton, Cutler-Hammer, ABB, GE, and Westinghouse. We buy complete lineups or individual sections.

Question 2

How much is used switchgear worth?

Accepted Answer

Used switchgear typically sells for 20% to 55% of new replacement cost. Low-voltage sections range from 20-50% and medium-voltage units from 25-55%. Value depends on manufacturer, voltage class, amperage rating, breaker type, age, and condition.

Question 3

Do you remove switchgear from the building?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We handle complete switchgear removal including disconnection, rigging, and transportation. Our experienced crews work with indoor and outdoor installations and coordinate with your facility schedule. All removal costs are covered by us.

Question 4

Can you buy individual switchgear sections or only complete lineups?

Accepted Answer

We buy both. Complete lineups are preferred and typically command better per-section pricing, but we also purchase individual sections, main breaker compartments, feeder sections, and tie sections. Contact us with what you have for a specific quote.

Question 5

What switchgear brands are most valuable?

Accepted Answer

Square D (Power Zone, QED, HVL), Siemens (GM, WL), Eaton/Cutler-Hammer (Magnum, DS, VCP-W), and ABB consistently command the highest resale values due to strong end-user demand and parts availability. However, all manufacturers have value in the secondary market.
