About us

The Smarter Source for Surplus Electrical Material

Headquartered in Pennsauken, NJ, Critical Surplus provides professionals with high-value surplus electrical material at competitive pricing. We work with contractors, wholesalers, and MRO teams who prioritize quality, dependability, and cost efficiency.

Critical Surplus is an independent reseller of surplus industrial inventory. We hold and ship inventory from our own warehouse, and we are not an authorized distributor or representative of the original manufacturers.

 

Who We Are

Critical Surplus is the e-commerce division of Eastern Electrical, LLC, serving professionals across the U.S. Our team brings over four decades of experience in industrial supply, with deep familiarity across electrical distribution, controls, and infrastructure components.

 

That experience allows us to accurately identify, catalog, and describe surplus electrical inventory, helping customers quickly find the exact products they’re looking for. We focus on clear product information, transparent condition disclosure, and responsive support so buyers can source surplus material with confidence and signficant savings.

 

Why Surplus Makes Sense

Surplus inventory refers to excess or overstock products that have not been sold through standard retail channels. Purchasing surplus does not mean sacraficing quality, it helps:

  - Reduce project costs
  - Shorten lead times
  - Support industry sustainability
  - Keep good product in circulation

Pricing on surplus inventory reflects market conditions where excess stock is released outside traditional retail channels, allowing buyers to benefit from lower acquisition costs.

 

What You’ll Find

Our inventory reflects the movement of surplus up and down the supply chain. You’ll find well known brands in categories such as circuit breakers, switchgear, controls, lighting, fittings, and power distribution. Everything we list is inspected and verified by our team, located in our own warehouse, and ready to ship as soon as you order. Product descriptions include clear condition details, and we stand behind every listing.

 

Our Commitment

We believe trust is earned through consistency and transparency.
Every listing we post represents real, verified inventory with honest descriptions and clear pricing. Critical Surplus exists to make sourcing easier, faster, and more reliable for the professionals who keep the industry moving.

 

Sustainability and Responsibility

Surplus is good for business and better for the environment. By choosing surplus, our customers help prevent perfectly good products from going to waste and reduce the need for new manufacturing. At Critical Surplus, we believe efficiency is more than a goal. It’s a responsibility to the industry we serve and the planet we share.
