Most people who search for a non-working AC buyer in Mumbai have already had a technician look at the unit and been told the repair isn't worth it. Others have an AC that simply stopped one summer and has sat unused ever since. In both cases, selling it is usually better than letting it rust on the balcony.
Common faults we see in non-working ACs
Compressor failure
A failed compressor is one of the most expensive AC repairs. The unit still contains the compressor's metal, the coils and the body, so it retains material value.
Gas leak
Leaking coils or joints mean the AC can't hold refrigerant and won't cool. Repeated refilling becomes costly, and many owners decide to sell instead.
PCB or electrical fault
Control board failures are common in inverter models. Depending on the model, the unit may still be usable after repair, which can be reflected in the evaluation.
Rust and physical damage
Mumbai's humidity and monsoon take a toll on outdoor units. Corroded coils, broken fan blades or a damaged body all affect value, but the unit can still be bought.
Not used for years
An AC that hasn't run for a long time may or may not start again. Tell us how long it has been idle.
How a non-working AC is valued
We look at what is still present and in what condition:
- Is the compressor in place, and is it known to have failed?
- Are the coils copper or aluminium, and are they intact?
- Are both units of a split AC available?
- Has anything been removed or replaced?
- Could the unit be repaired and reused, or is it scrap?
Some non-working ACs can be repaired, so they are evaluated above scrap value. Others are valued purely for materials. For the materials side, see old AC scrap price in Mumbai.
Don't strip parts before selling
It can be tempting to remove copper pipes or the compressor to sell separately. We recommend leaving the AC intact: dismantling can release refrigerant and cause injury, and a complete unit is simpler to evaluate.

Frequently asked questions
Will you buy an AC with a burnt compressor?
Yes. An AC with a failed compressor can still be evaluated for its coils, body and the compressor's metal content.
My AC hasn't been used for years. Can I still sell it?
Yes. Share its age, how long it has been unused, and photos. It will be evaluated based on its current condition.
Do you repair ACs?
No. We buy old, used, non-working and scrap ACs. We are not an AC repair service.
