Local service
Transformers buyers serving Portales
Portales sits in New Mexico, where PNM, El Paso Electric, Xcel Energy feed the load and I-25, I-40 and I-10 carry the freight. Sites near those corridors cost us less to service, and that shows up in your offer rather than in our margin. Albuquerque, Las Cruces, Rio Rancho and Santa Fe are routine stops and Portales work routes with them.
Once an offer is accepted we schedule around your outage, not ours. Night, weekend and phased removals in Portales are ordinary work. Crews arrive with their own rigging, lifts and containment, protect the floors and leave the room broom clean.

Equipment
What we take out of Portales sites
Liquid-filled pad-mount and station class
Oil-filled pad-mount and pole-mount units, loop-feed and radial, unit substations with their primary switching and secondary sections, and station-class power transformers with tap changers, radiators and conservators. Oil is tested for PCB content before anything moves, and the manifests come with your paperwork.
Dry-type and cast coil
Ventilated dry-type and cast-coil units from 15 kVA through 5 MVA, including 480 V to 208 V step-downs, K-rated units specified for harmonic loads, and drive isolation transformers. Dry-types move easily, resell quickly and generally carry a strong number relative to their weight.
New Mexico specifics
National laboratory and utility work at Albuquerque and Los Alamos produces documented switchgear and transformer disposition, and oil-patch activity in the southeast adds classified-area gear.

Common questions
Portales 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 Portales purchases. Public agencies and audited facilities get the paperwork their process requires without having to ask twice.
Do you actually buy electrical equipment in Portales, or just broker it?
We buy it. Texas Electrical Equipment Buyers is the purchaser of record — we fund the purchase, send our own crews to Portales 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 Portales?
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 New Mexico continuously, small Portales pickups usually get added to an existing run rather than priced as a dedicated trip.
How fast can you get to a Portales site?
Written offers go out the same business day in nearly every case. After acceptance, typical mobilization to Portales 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 Portales room is still partly live we phase the work.
