I need to replace the outdoor portion of an a/c unit- the inside unit is still functioning. Is there somewhere I can buy one used (that's not going to just crap out on me in a week)?

They are so cheap. Why not buy new?

We tried it once. Never again. We bought a used A/C. The seller came highly recommended, they were very nice and assured us that would not happen. They said the unit "was as good as new" but no guarantee of course.

It lasted all of 6 weeks and failed. They came back but could not fix it - no charge. We had 3 different companies look at it and all said the same. It would cost too much to fix it - just buy a new one.

Lesson learned.

Same experience as elektrified. As part of a deal, our Landlady committed to install three A/C units. She tried to pull a fast one and installed second hand units, just complete junk, apart from the inefficiency and electricity cost which shouldn't be underated.

After many attempts to get them working properly she gave up and installed modern new ones. If a Thai can't make a sucess out of it a farang stands little chance......

P.S. trying to mix and match only part of the system sounds like a double road to trouble.

Hi,

I have an old compressor from a condo we renovated. Not sure if it is what you are looking for and not sure if it even works, but you can have it for free.

Give me a call if you want to have a look at it.

HI,past the big C,(EX CAREFOUR) direction lampun, after INDEX 100m -200m -300m of the border fom the road is one air con chop ,the have many second hand bye

Hi, if the compressor unit is not too old it can be fixed ....my experence is either the compressor needs replacing or its a simple electric fault.

Get a RECOMENDED shop to take a look first, they will give you a price to fix or replace it
