Switchgear buyers serving Homewood
Our Illinois routing runs along I-55, I-57, I-80, I-88 and I-294, which keeps crew and trailer cost predictable for Homewood projects. Coordination with ComEd, Ameren Illinois, City Water Light and Power on clearances, metering removal and final disconnect is part of the scope, not a change order.
If the Homewood 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 Homewood sites
Medium-voltage metal-clad line-ups
Complete 4.16 kV, 13.8 kV and 38 kV metal-clad structures with their vacuum or air-magnetic breakers still racked in, main-tie-main arrangements, incoming line and metering cubicles, relay and protection sections, and outdoor walk-in and non-walk-in enclosures. Current-production vacuum breakers are the single strongest value driver in this category.
Low-voltage switchgear and switchboards
480 V and 600 V drawout switchgear, group-mounted and individually-mounted switchboards, main breaker and main lug sections, distribution sections with feeder breakers, and service-entrance equipment with utility metering. Square D Power-Style, GE AKD, Eaton Magnum and Siemens line-ups all move well.
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
Homewood questions
Do you provide documentation for surplus property or audit records?
Yes. Itemized purchase agreements, weight tickets, bills of lading, oil disposal manifests and recycling documentation are standard on Homewood purchases. Public agencies and audited facilities get the paperwork their process requires without having to ask twice.
Do you actually buy electrical equipment in Homewood, or just broker it?
We buy it. Midwest Electrical Buyers is the purchaser of record — we fund the purchase, send our own crews to Homewood to disconnect and load, and take title when the equipment leaves your dock. There is no third party behind us waiting to approve the price.
What is the smallest job you will take in Homewood?
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 Illinois continuously, small Homewood pickups usually get added to an existing run rather than priced as a dedicated trip.
How fast can you get to a Homewood site?
Written offers go out the same business day in nearly every case. After acceptance, typical mobilization to Homewood 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 Homewood room is still partly live we phase the work.
