Schedule An AppointmentWe rely on air conditioning units to get us comfortably through the hottest times of the year, but even the most reliable air conditioners will eventually wear out and need replacement. Buying a pre-owned air conditioner can be significantly cheaper than purchasing a new unit, making it a good choice for those on a tight budget. Opting for pre-owned air conditioners also reduces the demand for new units to be manufactured, which can help reduce waste and the environmental impact of manufacturing.
Before buying a pre-owned air conditioner, it is important to consider the unit’s inspection and maintenance history, energy efficiency, age, compatibility with the existing HVAC system and ductwork, price, and warranty or return policy.
The major pros of buying pre-owned air conditioners include cost savings, being environmentally friendly, and the possibility of purchasing a hard-to-find model. However, there are also some potential drawbacks you will need to consider, such as the risk of buying a unit with hidden damage or one that requires significant repairs. Purchasing a pre-owned air conditioner also means there is a possibility of reduced energy efficiency or lifespan compared to a new unit. One of the best ways to ensure you are getting a unit you can count on to run well is to buy through a reputable air conditioning installation company rather than purchasing one on your own without a professional vetting the system.
Pre-owned air conditioners are an excellent option for those on a tight budget, needing a harder-to-find model, or trying to reduce their environmental impact by opting to reuse instead of buying new. It is important to weigh the pros and cons carefully and ensure you have a professional thoroughly inspect the unit before making a purchase to ensure it meets your needs and provides good value for your money.
