Question 1

How much do you pay for used circuit breakers?

Accepted Answer

We pay between $5 and $500+ per circuit breaker depending on the brand, amperage, type, and condition. Square D, Siemens, Eaton, and GE breakers in working condition typically bring the highest prices. Large-frame industrial breakers (100A–4000A) command premium pricing.

Question 2

What is my old circuit breaker worth?

Accepted Answer

The value of a used circuit breaker depends on four factors: brand (Square D, Siemens, and Eaton are most valuable), amperage (higher amperage = higher value), type (AFCI, GFCI, and molded case breakers fetch more), and condition (working breakers with original packaging are worth the most). A single residential 20A breaker may be worth $5–$30, while a 400A industrial breaker can be worth $200–$1,000+. Send us your model numbers for an accurate quote.

Question 3

How do you pay — check, cash, or wire transfer?

Accepted Answer

We pay by company check, ACH bank transfer, or wire transfer. Payment is issued within 1–3 business days of receiving and inspecting your equipment. For large lots, we can arrange payment terms in advance.

Question 4

Do you charge any fees to sell my circuit breakers?

Accepted Answer

No. There are no listing fees, no commissions, and no hidden charges. We make you a direct offer and pay you the full agreed amount. For large lots, we also offer free pickup and shipping labels at no cost to you.

Question 5

What brands of circuit breakers do you buy?

Accepted Answer

We buy all major brands including Square D (QO, Homeline, I-Line, PowerPact), Siemens (QP, BQ, MBKH, Sentron), Eaton (BR, CH, HFD, Magnum), Cutler-Hammer, GE, ABB, Westinghouse, ITE, Murray, Zinsco, Federal Pacific, Challenger, Bryant, and more. We also buy obsolete and hard-to-find brands.

Question 6

Do you buy used or damaged circuit breakers?

Accepted Answer

We primarily buy working circuit breakers in good condition. However, we also consider used breakers that show normal wear, surplus new-in-box breakers, and some damaged units depending on the model. We do not buy breakers that have been burned, flooded, or physically broken. When in doubt, send us photos and model numbers and we will evaluate them.

Question 7

Do you buy arc fault (AFCI) circuit breakers?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We are specialists in buying AFCI (arc fault circuit interrupter) breakers. We buy Square D AFCI, Siemens AFCI, Eaton AFCI, and all major brands. AFCI breakers are in high demand and typically command higher prices than standard breakers. Contact us for current pricing.

Question 8

Do you buy surplus transformers?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We buy surplus transformers of all types — distribution transformers, dry-type transformers, oil-filled transformers, step-up, step-down, and isolation transformers. We purchase single units and large lots. Free pickup is available for large transformer lots.

Question 9

What is the minimum quantity you will buy?

Accepted Answer

There is no minimum quantity. We buy single breakers, small lots, and full truckloads. However, larger quantities typically receive better per-unit pricing. We buy everything from a single Square D breaker to entire warehouse lots of surplus electrical equipment.

Question 10

Do you buy electrical panels and switchgear?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We buy complete electrical panels, load centers, switchgear, motor control centers (MCCs), and distribution boards. We purchase both residential and industrial electrical equipment. Large switchgear and MCC lots qualify for free on-site pickup.

Question 13

Do I need to clean or test my circuit breakers before selling?

Accepted Answer

No. You do not need to clean, test, or repair your circuit breakers before selling to us. Simply describe their condition honestly — whether they are new in box, used and working, or untested surplus. We factor condition into our offer price.

Question 14

Can I sell circuit breakers from anywhere in the United States?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We buy circuit breakers from all 50 states. For smaller lots, you ship to us and we cover the shipping cost for qualifying orders. For large lots (full pallets or truckloads), we arrange and pay for freight pickup at your location.

Question 15

Do you offer free pickup for large lots?

Accepted Answer

Yes. For large lots — typically full pallets or truckloads of circuit breakers, transformers, or switchgear — we arrange and pay for freight pickup directly from your warehouse, job site, or facility anywhere in the United States. Contact us to discuss your lot size.

Question 16

How should I pack and ship circuit breakers?

Accepted Answer

Pack circuit breakers securely in boxes with bubble wrap or foam padding to prevent damage in transit. Include a packing list with model numbers and quantities. For large lots, we provide detailed packing instructions and, in many cases, send our own packaging materials. Never ship breakers loose in a box without padding.

Question 17

Do you buy circuit breakers from Canada or internationally?

Accepted Answer

Currently we primarily serve the United States. For Canadian sellers with large lots, contact us to discuss options — we handle cross-border purchases on a case-by-case basis.
