The Big Box of Surplus Chillers
When buying a used chiller, quality and reliability are main concerns. Our used chillers are safe, secure and ready-to-go. All of our inventory goes through a rigorous testing process to ensure your used chiller runs properly when it arrives at your location.
Our Buying & Selling Process
We begin by knowing the right people.
- We at Surplus Group make most of our acquisitions of new surplus and used chillers through our Group of established contacts who have strong links to most major industries and institutions across North America.
- Through our Group we learn about the latest surplus equipment opportunities arising from plant and school closures, cancelled projects, etc.
- From these opportunities we cautiously cherry-pick the very best new surplus and used chillers, cooling towers, rooftop units, air handlers, and HVAC equipment. The rejected items are sent on to other associates to be scrapped.
A close look at the history
All equipment reported to us is subject to a background check – the first phase of our verification process.
- We see the equipment in place and running
- We evaluate the environment in which the equipment is used
- We conduct as many pre-purchase mechanical checks as possible
- We examine the regularity and source of the service records, if available.
Certification is Standard met.
At our highly specialized Surplus Group facility in Dallas, we have the people, resources and processes in place to ensure all equipment meets our “Surplus at its best” Standard of condition and value.
- Our in-house verification process now goes deeper into the details of condition.
- Equipment that fails verification (as sometimes happens) we scrap for the best parts and then move on.
- Full run-testing protocol answers the unknowns of mechanical condition.
- When we discover deficiencies we repair.
- We also make sure the equipment’s appearance is up to Standard. After all, there’s no reason equipment that has been used needs to look used.
- Comprehensive close-up photography enables our buyers to assess the condition and configuration of the equipment in detail.
- Final Certification inspection ensures all aspects of the Surplus Group Standard are met.
- Equipment is now ready to go.
