Equipment
Circuit Breakers we buy in Rochester
We treat New York as one service area rather than a list of towns. Crews moving between New York City, Buffalo, Rochester, Syracuse and Albany pass through Rochester regularly, which is why a single transformer or a pallet of breakers 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 Rochester 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 Rochester gear falls into before you commit to anything.
New York note
New York is two completely different jobs sharing a state line. In the five boroughs and the lower Hudson Valley the work is vertical and permit-heavy: switchboards and busway risers coming out of pre-war commercial buildings, hospital and university plants replacing essential-power systems, and Con Edison network gear on a renewal cycle that never really stops. Freight elevators, night windows and street-level staging decide the schedule far more than the rigging does. Upstate is horizontal and industrial — the Buffalo and Niagara Falls electrochemical and metals legacy, Rochester optics and imaging plants that have been shedding infrastructure for two decades, Syracuse and Utica manufacturing, and the semiconductor and battery build-out that is now retiring the gear it replaced. Bus duct is unusually common in both halves, because so much of this building stock was wired when busway was the standard answer.

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 Rochester room is still partly live we phase the work.
How do you handle transformer oil in Rochester?
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 Rochester and nothing gets dumped — the handling cost is already in the offer.
When do we get paid?
Before the equipment leaves your Rochester 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 Rochester equipment on what our technicians and the replacement market say it is worth.
