Coimbatore’s warm climate and large base of students, professionals and textile-industry workers keep the second-hand AC market active. Here’s how to sell your old AC in Coimbatore quickly and at the best price.

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

Working split/window AC (5–10 years old): ₹2,500–₹6,000

Working AC (10+ years old): ₹1,200–₹3,000

Non-working / scrap: ₹500–₹1,700

1-ton split ACs are in steady demand among students and bachelors near Coimbatore’s engineering colleges. Energy-efficient inverter models sell at the upper end given Tamil Nadu’s electricity tariffs.
