Process
How North Carolina jobs actually run
Utility territory matters here more than most owners expect: Duke Energy Carolinas, Duke Energy Progress, Dominion each have their own disconnect and metering process, and the sequence of who de-energizes what is usually the longest lead item on the schedule.
Freight is the other half. We route North Carolina work along I-85, I-40, I-77 and I-95, which is what keeps trailer and crew cost predictable on a quote instead of padded.
North Carolina is a state in the middle of swapping one industrial base for another, and that is exactly when electrical equipment moves. Furniture plants around High Point, textile mills across the Piedmont and the old tobacco processing facilities are being converted or torn down, and their electrical scopes come out whole — switchboards, panelboards, MCC line-ups and vintage gear that plants elsewhere are still hunting for parts to match. At the other end, Charlotte banking and Research Triangle facilities retire switchgear and standby generators that are clean, tested and recent.
Primary hubs
Charlotte, Raleigh, Durham and Greensboro — but coverage is statewide, including rural substation and mine sites.
Equipment
What we buy in North Carolina
Electrical Switchgear
We buy low- and medium-voltage switchgear line-ups out of live plants, substations and buildings scheduled for demolition — metal-clad, metal-enclosed, drawout and fixed-mount.
480 V – 38 kV, up to 5,000 AGenerators
Diesel and natural-gas gensets from 100 kW through 3 MW — enclosed, open-skid, trailer-mounted and sub-base tank units, with or without their transfer switches.
100 kW – 3 MW diesel and gasTransformers
Pad-mount, dry-type, cast-coil, unit substation and liquid-filled power transformers from 75 kVA through 50 MVA, including units still energized on the pad.
75 kVA – 50 MVAPanelboards & Switchboards
Panelboards, switchboards, distribution panels, safety switches and disconnects — loaded with breakers or empty, one panel or a whole building's worth.
100 A – 4,000 AWire & Cable
Surplus and reclaimed copper and aluminum wire and cable — full spools, partial spools, off-spool coils and cable pulled out of cancelled jobs.
#12 AWG – 1,000 MCMCircuit Breakers
Molded-case, insulated-case, low-voltage power and medium-voltage vacuum and air-magnetic breakers — single units, pallets and full sets pulled from a line-up.
15 A – 6,000 A framesMotor Control Centers
Complete MCC line-ups, individual vertical sections, starter buckets and VFD sections — low voltage and medium voltage, any generation.
MCC line-ups, buckets, VFD sectionsSubstations
Complete unit substations and outdoor station equipment — primary switch, transformer, secondary switchgear, structures, bus and relaying, bought as one lot.
Complete unit and station substationsTransfer Switches
Automatic and manual transfer switches, bypass-isolation switches and paralleling gear, 100 A through 4,000 A, pulled with or without their generators.
100 A – 4,000 A ATSCapacitors & Power Quality
Fixed and automatically switched capacitor banks, harmonic filters, reactors and power-factor correction equipment, indoor and outdoor.
50 kVAR – 10 MVARComplete Plant Lots
When a plant closes, we buy the entire electrical scope as one lot — substation to receptacle — and we do the teardown and loading at our cost.

Common questions
North Carolina questions
What is the smallest job you will take in North Carolina?
A single transformer, one switchgear section, a pallet of breakers or a few boxes of breakers is worth a call. Because we route crews across North Carolina continuously, small North Carolina pickups usually get added to an existing run rather than priced as a dedicated trip.
How fast can you get to a North Carolina site?
Written offers go out the same business day in nearly every case. After acceptance, typical mobilization to North Carolina is a few business days for a straightforward removal and one to two weeks for a full plant scope that needs phasing, rigging plans or utility coordination.
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 North Carolina room is still partly live we phase the work.
How do you handle transformer oil in North Carolina?
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 North Carolina and nothing gets dumped — the handling cost is already in the offer.
When do we get paid?
Before the equipment leaves your North Carolina 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.
