  • Do you Accept Trade-Ins?


    Trade In, Trade Up: Get Credit Towards Your Next Welding or Cutting Machine

    At Huronia Welding, we know that every machine has a story—and every welder deserves the right tool for the job. That’s why we offer trade-ins for credit towards new welding and cutting equipment. Whether you’re upgrading for more power, efficiency, or reliability, your old machine can help get you there.

    Economic Benefits

    A trade-in helps offset the cost of your next purchase. The newer the machine, the more credit you’ll typically receive. Condition also plays a big role—well-maintained machines can offer you better value. By applying your trade-in towards a new unit, you reduce your out-of-pocket expense and invest in equipment that improves productivity, efficiency, and long-term savings.

    Environmental Benefits

    Recycling older machines helps keep metal, components, and hazardous materials out of landfills. By trading in and upgrading to newer technology, you’re helping to lower your carbon footprint. Modern machines are often designed with higher energy efficiency, which not only saves money but also reduces overall environmental impact.

    Social Benefits

    Supporting trade-ins encourages a stronger local welding community. Machines that still have life left may be refurbished for resale, training, or parts. This ensures that valuable equipment continues to benefit welders, students, and small shops rather than going to waste.

    How It Works

    Every machine is different—the older it is, the less value it usually carries, but condition matters most. Want to know what your equipment is worth? Give us a call at 519-955-0261 and we’ll discuss the value of your machine in greater detail.

    When you’re ready to trade in, you’re not just upgrading your tools—you’re investing in a smarter, greener, and more connected welding future.
