Equipment
Panelboards & Switchboards we buy in Boston
Coverage in Boston is run off our Massachusetts routing along I-90 and the Mass Pike, I-95 and Route 128, I-93 and I-495. Coordination with Eversource, National Grid, Unitil, municipal light departments on clearances, metering removal and final disconnect is part of the scope, not a change order. Massachusetts runs on conversion. The mill complexes along the Merrimack at Lowell and Lawrence, the Blackstone Valley around Worcester, and the Connecticut River corridor at Springfield and Holyoke are being turned into apartments, labs and light industry, and the electrical scope that comes out of a converted mill is often a century of accumulated switchgear, busway and transformers in one building. Add the biotech and lab build-out along Route 128 and in Cambridge, which retires perfectly serviceable switchboards and distribution gear on tenant-fit cycles rather than at end of life, plus the teaching hospitals and universities replacing emergency power systems. Municipal light departments are a real feature here — many towns own their distribution, so clearance procedures vary town to town and we plan for it rather than being surprised by it.
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 Boston site. Maintenance, EHS and accounting each get the document they need.

Valuation
What it is worth
Three things drive the number: condition, whether the equipment is still supported, and copper content. A medium-voltage line-up with current vacuum breakers and a recent test report prices as reusable equipment. An identical structure with obsolete air-magnetic breakers and no nameplate prices on its bus and steel. We tell you which bucket your Boston gear falls into before you commit to anything.

Common questions
Questions
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 Boston room is still partly live we phase the work.
How do you handle transformer oil in Boston?
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 Boston and nothing gets dumped — the handling cost is already in the offer.
When do we get paid?
Before the equipment leaves your Boston 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.
What if the equipment is old or has no test records?
We still quote it. Records raise the number — a NETA test report on a breaker or a transformer is the single document that most improves what we can pay — but their absence disqualifies nothing. We price Boston equipment on what our technicians and the replacement market say it is worth.
