What affects your price
Split vs window
Split units, especially inverters, generally hold more value than window ACs.
Tonnage
1.5-ton and 2-ton units typically fetch more than 1-ton units, demand permitting.
Brand & age
Trusted brands and newer units command stronger prices.
Working condition
Cooling performance and overall condition are the biggest single driver of price.
How to read these ranges
These are indicative ranges to help you set expectations, not a quote. The actual value of your AC is decided by a free video quality check that assesses its real condition — which is why two units of the same model can fetch different prices.
The fastest way to get an accurate number is the value calculator: enter your AC's details and you'll see an instant, transparent estimate, with no obligation to sell.
How to get the most for your AC
Sell while it's still working well — value declines with age and wear. Make sure it's clean and in its best running condition for the quality check, and have the model and tonnage details ready. Accurate information keeps your quote firm from estimate to pickup.
