Why Sell Your Old AC Instead of Keeping It Unused
An unused air conditioner takes up space. Even a broken AC can have value through its compressor, copper, aluminium, and electronic components.
You should consider selling your old AC if you have upgraded, are relocating, renovating, or the old unit has stopped cooling and repair is no longer economical. For units that still switch on, see sell used AC and sell second hand AC options.
Common Reasons to Sell
- Upgraded to an energy-efficient model
- Old unit no longer suits room size
- Moving to a new house
- Renovating the property
- AC has stopped working
- Repair cost is too high
- Office replacing multiple units
- Hotel or shop renovation

Examples We Accept
How Is an Old AC Valued
There is no universal price. Value depends on condition, age, brand, components, and demand. Assessment considers both resale potential and scrap or material value.
Resale Potential
A relatively new, working branded AC may have resale value.
Scrap / Material Value
A nonworking AC is assessed on recoverable copper, aluminium, steel, compressor, and electronic parts.
Commercial Assessment
Large systems involve dismantling, transportation, and site logistics.
What Affects the Value of an Old Air Conditioner
- Type: Window, split, and commercial systems differ.
- Capacity: Tonnage affects equipment size and recoverable material.
- Brand and model: Affects resale demand.
- Condition: Working vs nonworking vs damaged.
- Compressor: Important component with separate value.
- Copper and other metals: Contribute to scrap value.
- Age: Older equipment has lower resale but may still contain recoverables.
- Completeness: Missing parts reduce assessment.
- Quantity: Bulk commercial differs from single household unit.
- Location: Transportation and accessibility influence the transaction.

Frequently Asked Questions
Customer Reviews
Real feedback from households and businesses across Delhi NCR and India.
“Had a 1.5 Ton Voltas split AC that stopped cooling two years ago. Local scrap dealers were offering very little. ScrapKabadi gave a fair quote on WhatsApp, picked it up from my 3rd floor flat in Indirapuram, and payment was done on the spot.”
“We were renovating our office in Sector 62 Noida and had 9 old cassette ACs to clear. They came for a site visit, gave a written quote for the full lot, dismantled everything in one evening shift and issued a proper GST invoice.”
“I was skeptical about selling a non-working window AC. The team asked for photos on WhatsApp, quoted transparently, and picked it up the next day without any bargaining at the doorstep.”
“Shifted from a 2BHK to a 3BHK and had two old split ACs to sell. Booked through WhatsApp in the morning, pickup happened same day. Everything was hassle-free, no advance payment asked.”
“We closed a restaurant in Karol Bagh and needed to clear 6 AC units plus ducting. They handled everything from dismantling to loading, and gave us a proper challan for the disposal record.”
“Booked a pickup for a 2 Ton Daikin inverter that had a compressor issue. The technician explained why the quote was what it was, recovered the refrigerant properly, and paid immediately via UPI.”
“We had 22 split ACs across two floors of our guest house in Faridabad. The team worked in phases over a weekend so guests were not disturbed. Professional, punctual and fairly priced.”
“After a hospital equipment upgrade we had 14 old cassette and ductable units to dispose. ScrapKabadi handled the entire HVAC clearance with documentation suitable for our audit records.”
“Was expecting the usual haggling, but the process was the opposite. Photos on WhatsApp, a clear estimate, pickup as scheduled, and the exact amount agreed was paid.”
