Whether you’re upgrading to a more energy-efficient inverter AC or simply moving house, Bangalore has a steady market for second-hand air conditioners — especially before the March–May warm season. This guide covers the fastest and highest-paying options to sell your old AC in Bangalore.

How much can you get for an old AC in Bangalore?

Working split/window AC (5–10 years old): ₹3,000–₹7,000

Working AC (10+ years old): ₹1,500–₹3,500

Non-working / scrap: ₹600–₹2,000 (compressor + copper + aluminium)

Inverter models and higher star-rated ACs fetch the upper end of these ranges. A 1.5-ton inverter split AC from LG, Daikin or Voltas in good condition regularly sells for ₹5,000–₹8,000 on OLX in Bangalore.

Best ways to sell old AC in Bangalore

1. OLX — best for maximum price

OLX is very active for used ACs in Bangalore, particularly in areas like Whitefield, Koramangala, Marathahalli and HSR Layout. List under Home Appliances → Air Conditioners. Include the brand, tonnage, star rating, year of purchase and whether it’s inverter or non-inverter. Listings with service records sell noticeably faster.

2. Cashify — instant quote, free pickup

Cashify provides free home pickup across Bangalore for old ACs. Visit cashify.in → Sell → Air Conditioner, answer a few condition questions to get an instant quote, and book a pickup slot. Payment is made on the spot via cash or UPI.

3. AC scrap / copper dealers

Scrap dealers in Bangalore pay for the copper coil, compressor and aluminium fins separately. Search Google Maps for “AC scrap dealer Bangalore” or “old AC buyer near me”. Expect ₹600–₹2,000 for a non-working unit depending on the copper weight inside. Copper is the most valuable component.

4. Brand exchange when buying new

Croma, Reliance Digital and Vijay Sales in Bangalore run exchange offers worth ₹2,000–₹5,000 off a new AC purchase. The trade-in value is sometimes lower than OLX but offers the convenience of one-stop replacement without arranging separate buyers.

Tips to get the best price in Bangalore

Sell February–April — Bangalore summers peak in April; listing before the heat arrives means more buyers and stronger prices.
Clean the filters and outdoor unit before showing the AC. A clean unit signals good maintenance and justifies a higher asking price.
State inverter vs. non-inverter clearly — buyers specifically filter for inverter models because of electricity savings.
Share the last service date — gas refills and service records within the past year add ₹500–₹1,000 to perceived value.
