Do you have an old aircon gathering dust in your home? Many Singaporean homeowners face this dilemma:
units still functional, taking up space, but resale can be challenging.
If you’re wondering where to sell your old aircon, or whether it’s even worth trying, this guide from Junk Value Recyclingwill help. We explain resale options, hidden costs, and why professional removal is sometimes the smartest choice.
Before listing your old aircon for resale, it’s important to assess its actual resale potential. Not all units are equally marketable, even if they look new.
Factors That Affect Resale Value:
Brand and model: Popular brands (Daikin, Mitsubishi, Panasonic) sell faster
Cooling capacity and type: Wall-mounted split units are more attractive than window units
Age and condition: Units serviced regularly and under 7–10 years old are easier to sell
Installation type: Wall-mounted, ceiling cassette, or window units have different buyer appeal
Extras included: Remote, installation brackets, pipes, or warranty
Pro tip: Clean your aircon, replace filters, and service it before selling. A well-maintained unit can command higher offers.
Online marketplaces are the first place most people try to sell old appliances. They give access to local buyers without needing a middleman.
Popular Options:
Carousell: Singapore’s top second-hand marketplace. Easy to post and communicate with buyers.
Facebook Marketplace: Connect directly with local buyers. Great for neighbourhood-specific sales.
Facebook Groups & Renovation Exchange: Contractors, handymen, or landlords often look for used aircon units.
Tips for Online Selling:
Use clear, high-resolution photos
Include exact specifications: BTU, model, age, installation type
Be honest about wear, scratches, or minor defects
Even if your aircon looks good, these details help sell your aircon faster and avoid disputes later.
3. Sell Your Old Aircon to Local Resellers
Installation in rental or smaller units
Advantages:
Often cash on collection
Avoids waiting weeks for individual buyers
Reduces storage and handling hassle
Limitations:
Price is usually lower than direct resale
Some resellers only buy certain brands or models
If you’re short on time, a reseller can be a quick solution to sell your aircon.
Time spent responding to messages and fielding multiple queries
Coordinating pick-ups or delivery safely
Transport logistics for heavy or awkward units
Storage costs if buyers aren’t ready immediately
In Singapore, storage is expensive, and bulky units can occupy valuable space for weeks. By the time you factor in marketing time, transport, and storage, professional removal often becomes the faster, simpler, and safer option.
5. Marketing Your Aircon Takes Patience
Even with a desirable unit, selling may not happen overnight. Some aircons can take days, weeks, or even months to find the right buyer.
You’ll need to:
Keep listings updated
Respond quickly to potential buyers
Negotiate prices
Arrange inspections or viewings
If your schedule is tight—such as a flat handover, renovation, or move-out—waiting for a buyer may not be practical.
6. When Professional Removal Makes Sense
If selling your aircon doesn’t work, Junk Value Recycling is the service provider of choice in Singapore.
We provide:
Professional removal of all types of aircons
Responsible disposal and recycling according to NEA regulations
This ensures your home is cleared safely, efficiently, and legally.
7. How to Maximise Resale Before Professional Removal
Even if you eventually use professional removal, a few steps can help you maximize value if you try to sell first:
Clean and service your unit – filters, coils, and refrigerant levels
Take detailed photos – multiple angles, close-ups of labels and installation
List key specifications – capacity, model, type, installation details
Be honest about wear – avoids wasted viewings and disputes
Decide on delivery or pickup – helps buyers make quick decisions
Following this checklist can make it easier to sell your aircon—or speed up clearance if resale fails.
