Why choose VENTILO for your used air conditioning?

In a market where energy transition and purchasing power are key concerns, VENTILO positions itself as the ideal solution for residents of Columbus and its surroundings. Our platform is a specialized marketplace for buying and selling air conditioners, heat pumps, and cooling systems between individuals. Unlike generalist sites, we guarantee a smooth and secure experience. Why pay full price for new when a serviced and functional device can save you up to 50%? Our single 10% commission is the most transparent on the market: no hidden fees, no subscription. The seller sets their price, and we handle the rest. Plus, payment is fully secured via our escrow system. The seller's money is held until the buyer confirms receipt and proper functioning of the device. No more scams or risky meetings with strangers. VENTILO brings back trust for equipping your home at a lower cost. Join a local community of responsible buyers and sellers in Columbus. How to book?

How does the sale and 10% commission work?

The VENTILO process is designed to be as simple as a transaction on a digital marketplace. It all starts with publishing your listing. As a seller, you describe your air conditioner (brand, power, age, condition), add photos, and set your price. Our team quickly reviews the listing to prevent abuse. Once a buyer is interested, they make the payment directly on our secure platform. This is where our 10% commission comes in: it is automatically deducted from the total amount when the funds are transferred to your account. For example, for a sale at $500, you receive $450 net (excluding any shipping costs). The buyer pays no additional fees. This single commission covers payment security, listing moderation, customer support, and connecting buyers and sellers. For local transactions in Columbus, we encourage in-person pickup or secure delivery via our logistics partner. Payment remains in escrow until the buyer confirms the device matches the description. In case of a dispute, our mediation team intervenes to find a fair solution. VENTILO makes second-hand accessible and risk-free. Find a device.

Secure payment: your peace of mind guaranteed

The fear of scams is the number one barrier to peer-to-peer purchasing. VENTILO has made security its top priority. Our secure payment system works like a digital safe. When a buyer in Columbus confirms their purchase, the funds are not directly transferred to the seller. They are held in escrow by our approved payment service provider. The seller sees the transaction marked as 'Pending confirmation'. Only after the buyer has received the air conditioner, inspected it, and clicked 'Confirm receipt' are the funds released and paid to the seller (minus our 10% commission). This mechanism protects both parties: the buyer is sure not to lose their money if the device never arrives or is defective; the seller is certain to be paid once delivery is completed. Additionally, all communications and delivery proofs are stored in your transaction history. We use bank-level SSL encryption and never store your full banking details. For in-person transactions in Columbus, we recommend using our app to scan a confirmation QR code, formalizing the handover and instant fund release. With VENTILO, sell and buy with peace of mind.

They rented in Columbus

"We rented a Columbus portable air conditioner for our apartment during the heatwave. Fast delivery and very simple installation, even without being handy. The device is quiet and cooled our 320 sq ft living room in minutes. Customer service was responsive when I had a question about the water collection tray. In the end, we were able to sleep peacefully during the hottest nights. I highly recommend this rental, especially if you don't want to invest in an expensive purchase for occasional use. The value for money is excellent."

"As a father, I was looking for a temporary solution for my asthmatic son's room. Renting the Columbus air conditioner was perfect. The device is powerful, easy to move thanks to its casters, and the power consumption is reasonable. The online booking process is very smooth, and the return went without a hitch. The only small downside: the exhaust hose is a bit short for some windows, but the provided adapter solved the problem. We had a peaceful summer, and my son slept much better. Thank you for this reliable service."

"I rented this air conditioner for my home office during an exceptional heatwave. Honestly, I don't regret it. The Columbus device is very efficient, with an intuitive remote control and multiple speeds. The noise level is acceptable for an office. I appreciated the flexibility of the rental duration: I was able to keep it for an extra week without any problem. My only advice: make sure to properly insulate the window with the provided kit to optimize efficiency. Friendly and professional customer service. An experience I will repeat without hesitation."
