Delhi’s extreme summer heat — regularly touching 45°C in May and June — makes second-hand ACs one of the most sought-after categories on OLX and Cashify in India. If you’re upgrading or relocating, here’s how to sell your old AC in Delhi for the best price.

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

Working split/window AC (5–10 years old): ₹3,500–₹8,000

Working AC (10+ years old): ₹1,500–₹4,000

Non-working / scrap: ₹700–₹2,500 (compressor + copper + aluminium)

Delhi and NCR consistently see among the highest second-hand AC prices in India due to extreme summer demand. Selling April–May, when temperatures are peaking and buyers are desperate, often adds ₹500–₹1,500 to your final price versus the same listing in October.

Best ways to sell old AC in Delhi

1. OLX — best for maximum price

Delhi NCR has one of the most active OLX markets in India for used appliances. List under Home Appliances → Air Conditioners. Specify your exact area (South Delhi, Dwarka, Noida, Gurgaon) since buyers strongly prefer local pickup to avoid transporting heavy outdoor units across the city.

2. Cashify — instant quote, free pickup

Cashify covers Delhi, Noida, Gurgaon, Faridabad and Ghaziabad with free home pickup. Visit cashify.in → Sell → Air Conditioner for an instant quote. Pickup is typically available the same day or next day during peak summer months.

3. Kabadiwala / AC scrap dealers

Delhi’s kabadiwala network is one of India’s most organised. Local scrap dealers specifically buy old ACs for the copper coil, compressor and aluminium fins. Search “AC buyer Delhi” or “old AC scrapper near me” on Google Maps. Non-working window ACs can fetch ₹1,000–₹2,500 at scrap value.

4. Exchange offer at electronics stores

Croma, Vijay Sales and Reliance Digital across Delhi NCR run seasonal exchange offers, particularly in March–May. Exchange discounts of ₹2,000–₹5,000 off a new AC purchase are common during summer sales — worth checking if you’re upgrading anyway.

Tips to get the best price in Delhi

List in April–May — peak summer demand in Delhi drives prices to their highest. Buyers are less price-sensitive when the mercury crosses 40°C.
Include the outdoor unit — buyers expect a complete set (indoor + outdoor unit + remote + installation bracket).
Mention gas charge status — if the AC was recently gassed (R-32 or R-22), say so. It removes a key buyer objection.
Window ACs still sell well in Delhi — especially in older construction where wall mounting is not viable. Don’t undersell window units.
