Sell or Buy Your Air Conditioning with Ease

VENTILO is the first marketplace platform dedicated exclusively to air conditioning between individuals, based in Utrecht. We have created a simple and direct solution to give a second life to your air conditioning units, whether they are split systems, monoblocks, or reversible systems. For sellers, it's an opportunity to resell your unused or replaced equipment, recovering up to 90% of its value (after our 10% commission). For buyers, it's a chance to acquire efficient equipment at a reduced price, often with recent, well-maintained models. The process is smooth: you create a listing in a few clicks, describe the condition of your device, and set your price. Our secure payment system protects both parties: funds are blocked until the buyer confirms receipt and proper functioning of the device. We also verify listing compliance to prevent scams. Whether you are in Utrecht, Amsterdam, or Rotterdam, VENTILO connects you with trusted neighbors. Forget generalist sites where your listing gets lost: here, everyone speaks the same language, the language of cooling and comfort. Join our community and turn your old AC into instant cash.

Single 10% Commission: Transparency and Fairness

At VENTILO, we believe in a fair and transparent sharing economy. That's why we apply a fixed commission of only 10% on each successful transaction. No hidden fees, no monthly subscription, no premium listing surcharges. Whether you sell a small portable air conditioner for $150 or a high-end split system for $1,500, our commission remains the same: 10% of the total sale amount. This simple business model allows us to fund our essential services: platform development, listing moderation, bilingual customer support (Dutch and French), and most importantly, the secure payment system that protects you. For the seller, this means you keep 90% of the net sale price, a much better rate than traditional online flea markets or general second-hand sites that often take 15 to 20%. For the buyer, this commission is included in the displayed price, so you know exactly what you are paying. We don't play with margins: our goal is to streamline the second-hand air conditioning market in Utrecht and the Netherlands, making each transaction as secure as an in-store purchase. This single commission is our commitment: no surprises, just a reliable service that allows you to cool your home at a lower cost while doing a good deed for the planet. Find a device.

Secure Payment: Your Money is Protected from A to Z

Trust is at the heart of VENTILO. That's why we have implemented an integrated secure payment system, directly on our platform. When a buyer and seller reach an agreement in Utrecht, the buyer makes the payment via our approved banking partner. The money is not immediately transferred to the seller: it is held in escrow in a secure third-party account. Only after the device is handed over in person (or shipped, depending on your arrangement) and the buyer explicitly confirms that the product matches the description and works correctly, are the funds released and paid to the seller. This process protects the buyer against the risks of non-delivery or undisclosed defects. If a problem occurs (broken device, non-conformity, or unreachable seller), the buyer can open a dispute within 48 hours of receipt. Our mediation team based in Utrecht then reviews the evidence (photos, message exchanges) and makes an impartial decision. If the claim is justified, the buyer is fully refunded, and the seller receives nothing. For the seller, this system guarantees that you won't be paid with a bad check or fraudulent transfer. All payments are tracked and verified. VENTILO acts as a neutral trusted third party, eliminating the risks of person-to-person sales. No stressful meetings with cash: everything is done through our secure interface. Available equipment in

Why Utrecht? The Epicenter of Sustainable Air Conditioning

VENTILO was born in Utrecht, and that's no coincidence. Utrecht is a dynamic, young city deeply committed to the energy transition and sustainable development. With its historic canals and sometimes poorly insulated homes, Utrecht's residents face increasingly hot summers, but also a strong ecological awareness. Rather than buying new, which consumes resources and embodied energy, the people of Utrecht are increasingly favoring the circular economy. This is where VENTILO makes perfect sense: we facilitate the local exchange of air conditioners between individuals, thereby reducing electronic waste and the carbon footprint associated with manufacturing new devices. Utrecht is also a human-scale city, where face-to-face meetings are easy and trust between neighbors is strong. Our platform is optimized for hand-delivery throughout the province: from Utrecht Central Station to Overvecht, via Leidsche Rijn and Zeist. By choosing VENTILO, you participate in a local and solidarity-based economy. You support a Dutch project, based in Utrecht, that creates local jobs and fights against waste. Moreover, by buying second-hand, you save up to 50% compared to the new price, while benefiting from secure payment. Utrecht is our laboratory, our home, and our pride. Join the movement, and together, let's make every summer a little cooler, a little greener, and a lot more economical. Find a device

They rented in Utrecht

"I rented a portable air conditioner for my apartment in Utrecht during the July heatwave. The service was impeccable: same-day delivery, quick installation, and clear explanations. The unit was quiet and very effective, even in a 30 m² south-facing room. I particularly appreciated the flexibility of weekly rental, which saved me from an expensive purchase. The value for money is excellent, and the staff was very responsive when I had a question about the temperature setting. I highly recommend it to all Utrecht residents looking for a temporary solution to cope with the heat without breaking the bank. A 5-star experience!"

"Living in a poorly insulated studio in the Lombok district of Utrecht, I desperately needed some cool air. Renting an AC was a revelation. The online booking process was simple and fast. The technician came to install the unit in under an hour, being careful not to damage anything. The air conditioner was powerful but quiet, perfect for sleeping. I rented for a full month, and the decreasing rate was very advantageous. Returning the equipment was hassle-free with no hidden costs. A professional and human service. I am delighted and will definitely use them again next summer."

"As the owner of a business in Utrecht's city center, I needed a quick cooling solution for my shop. Renting an air conditioner perfectly met my urgent need. The team installed two units in one morning without disrupting my business. The devices are robust and very efficient, even in the middle of the afternoon. The maintenance included in the contract is a real plus. Customer service is attentive, and billing is transparent. I am very satisfied with the flexibility of the contracts and the quality of the equipment. I recommend this company to all professionals in Utrecht."
