Why a dead AC still has a price
- Copper
- The coil and the pipes. Copper is the most valuable part.
- Compressor
- The heavy part in the outdoor unit.
- Aluminium
- The thin fins, and the coil in some ACs.
- Other parts
- The motor, the body and the wiring.
What we take as AC scrap
- Dead split and window ACs.
- ACs that are burnt, rusted or lying unused for years.
- Cassette, ductable and tower ACs. Call us for these.
- Many ACs in one lot, from an office, a dealer or a technician.
- Copper pipe, wire and cable.
We sort every AC into three grades: D1 works, D2 can be repaired, D3 is dead. Scrap ACs are D3.

Questions about AC scrap
What is the scrap price of an old AC?
For a dead 1.5 ton split AC we pay ₹5,500 with a copper coil and ₹3,300 with an aluminium coil. A dead window AC with a copper coil gets ₹4,400.
Do you buy AC scrap by kg or by piece?
By piece. The price depends on the type and capacity of the AC, and on the coil.
Why does a copper coil get more than an aluminium coil?
Copper is worth more than aluminium as scrap. If you are not sure which coil you have, our person checks it at pickup.

Send photos on WhatsApp and tell us what is missing. We tell you our price.
Do you buy AC copper pipe and wire?
Yes. We buy copper wire, cable, AC pipe and other copper scrap.

Yes. Send the count and photos. We give one price for the lot and collect it.
