An old AC is rarely worth zero. Even a non-working unit holds copper, aluminium and steel that we can recover. Here is how our second hand AC buyers and AC scrap buyers price your unit.
Working vs non-working
If the unit still cools and the compressor turns on, it is sold as a working second-hand AC. The brand, tonnage, age, and remote/installation accessories all factor in. Anything between 0–5 years old and serviced regularly fetches the best resale rate.
If it does not cool, we price for scrap recovery — the outdoor unit copper coil is the biggest single line item.
Copper coil and compressor
The outdoor condenser holds the majority of the copper. A clean copper coil that has not been damaged during removal can add several hundred rupees compared to a coil that has been hacked apart. Our team handles removal so you get full value.
Compressor scrap is a separate sub-grade because the compressor body contains a sealed copper winding.
Type matters: split, window, cassette, duct
Window AC units are the simplest — one box, one quote. Split AC has separate indoor and outdoor units and is the most common today. Cassette AC, duct AC and central AC are heavier commercial units and need professional dismantling, which we include free.
