Bus Plugs buyers serving McHenry
McHenry sits in Illinois, where ComEd, Ameren Illinois, City Water Light and Power feed the load and I-55, I-57, I-80, I-88 and I-294 carry the freight. Sites near those corridors cost us less to service, and that shows up in your offer rather than in our margin. Chicago, Rockford, Peoria, Springfield and Joliet are routine stops and McHenry work routes with them.
If the McHenry equipment is still carrying load we phase it — dead sections and spares first, distribution as circuits are released, the main line-up on the final clearance. The phasing is written into the offer so nobody improvises in an energized room at two in the morning.

Equipment
What we take out of McHenry sites
Fusible switch plugs
Square D I-Line, GE Spectra and Armor-Clad, Eaton Pow-R-Way, Siemens, Westinghouse, ITE and Bulldog fusible plugs from 30 A to 800 A. Clean stabs, an intact interlock and a working handle mechanism are what separate a reusable plug from a copper recovery item.
Circuit-breaker and starter plugs
Breaker plugs, combination motor starter plugs, ground-fault plugs, transformer plugs and cable tap boxes. Combination starter plugs in particular are hard to source new and hold value well even at older vintages.
Illinois specifics
Chicago and its collar counties give us the widest range of equipment on this site, from century-old switchgear in loft conversions to switchboards pulled out of Loop high-rises still under warranty. The industrial ring through Joliet, Cicero and the Calumet side runs railcar, tank and metals operations with heavy motor loads. Downstate is a different business entirely: the agricultural processing plants at Decatur and Peoria, the Ameren Illinois distribution system and the refineries in the southwest corner. Bus duct and bus plug work shows up here more than anywhere, because so much Chicago-area industrial and institutional building was wired on busway and the plugs come out by the pallet during renovations.

Common questions
McHenry questions
How do you handle transformer oil in McHenry?
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 McHenry and nothing gets dumped — the handling cost is already in the offer.
When do we get paid?
Before the equipment leaves your McHenry 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 McHenry equipment on what our technicians and the replacement market say it is worth.
Are you insured to work inside our McHenry facility?
Yes. We carry general liability, auto, workers' compensation and umbrella coverage, and we issue a certificate naming your entity as additional insured before crews mobilize to McHenry. We also complete vendor onboarding, background checks and site-specific safety orientation on request.
Can you work nights, weekends or during a shutdown in McHenry?
Regularly. Most electrical removals happen outside production hours because that is when circuits can be released. Night, weekend, holiday and turnaround windows in McHenry are normal scheduling for us, not a premium service.
