Why VENTILO is the ideal solution for your air conditioning in Barcelona

Barcelona, with its Mediterranean climate and increasingly hot summers, makes air conditioning almost essential. Yet, buying new equipment can represent a significant budget, and traditional platforms (like Wallapop or Milanuncios) often lack security. VENTILO changes the game: it's the first marketplace 100% dedicated to air conditioning between private individuals in the Catalan region. Our single 10% commission, charged only to the seller, allows buyers to find serviced air conditioners, split systems, or heat pumps at prices 30 to 50% lower than new. Why does it work? Because we verify each listing and offer integrated secure payment. No more risky meetings with strangers for cash payments. With VENTILO, the money is held until the buyer confirms receipt and proper functioning of the appliance. Additionally, we connect individuals located in the same neighborhood (Eixample, Gràcia, Sants, etc.), reducing transport costs and carbon footprint. Whether you're selling an air conditioner after a renovation or looking for a cooling solution for your apartment without needing a work permit, VENTILO is the trusted platform for Barcelonians. How to book?

How does the 10% commission and secure payment work?

Transparency is at the heart of VENTILO. Our business model is simple and fair: the seller pays a 10% commission on the final sale price, and the buyer pays no additional fees. Concretely, if you sell your air conditioner for $300, you will receive $270 in your account. This commission covers listing promotion, content moderation, and most importantly, the secure payment system. How does it work? When a buyer is interested, they reserve the item through the platform and make the payment by card or instant transfer. The funds are then placed in escrow by our banking partner. The seller is notified and can arrange hand delivery or shipping (we recommend on-site pickup to inspect the equipment). The buyer has 48 hours after receipt to inspect the air conditioner, verify it works (ventilation, heat/cool modes, remote control) and confirm the transaction. If everything is in order, the money is released to the seller within 24 hours. In case of a dispute (non-conforming, broken, or non-functional appliance), our mediation team intervenes free of charge. This system protects both parties and eliminates the risk of scams, a frequent problem on second-hand markets in Barcelona. Find a device.

Practical guide: selling or buying an air conditioner in Barcelona without risk

For sellers: Before posting your ad, clean your appliance thoroughly, take clear photos (front view, energy label, remote control, and if possible, a video of it working). Indicate the model, power in BTU, year of purchase, and type of gas (R32 or R410A). In Barcelona, reselling air conditioners with R22 gas is prohibited – VENTILO automatically removes these listings. Set a realistic price by checking similar ads. Since our 10% commission is deducted, plan a margin. For buyers: Be precise in your search. Do you need a wall-mounted split, a portable system (monoblock), or a reversible heat pump? Check the dimensions and required power for your room (approximately 100 BTU per m²). During the meeting, test the appliance: plug it in, set it to cool mode, wait 5 minutes, and feel the air coming out. Check for any suspicious noises. If you buy a split (outdoor + indoor unit), make sure the seller provides the copper pipes and wiring. VENTILO recommends hiring a professional installer for setup. Finally, always use the integrated secure payment: never accept direct transfers or cash, even for hand delivery. This is the only guarantee of a smooth exchange. Available equipment in

The ecological and economic benefits of second-hand air conditioning in Barcelona

Beyond the financial aspect, VENTILO is part of a circular economy and e-waste reduction approach. Every year, thousands of perfectly functional air conditioners are thrown away in Barcelona during moves or renovations. However, an air conditioning unit contains rare metals (copper, aluminum) and fluorinated gases with high global warming potential. By buying second-hand on VENTILO, you extend the equipment's lifespan and avoid extracting new raw materials. Economically, the advantage is twofold: a buyer can save between $200 and $600 compared to a new purchase, and a seller recovers part of their initial investment. In Barcelona, where the cost of living is high and apartments are often small, reselling air conditioners also helps free up space. Furthermore, VENTILO encourages local exchanges: by promoting sales between neighbors in the same district, we reduce car trips and CO2 emissions related to transport. We even offer an online guide for basic reconditioning (filter cleaning, gas recharge if necessary) to maximize the performance of sold appliances. Joining VENTILO is a gesture for your wallet and the planet, while enjoying modern comfort in the Catalan capital. Find a device

They rented in Barcelona

"I rented an air conditioner for the summer in Barcelona and I'm delighted. With the heatwaves, it had become essential in my Eixample apartment. The rental process was simple: fast delivery, installation in under an hour, and the equipment was quiet and efficient. I particularly appreciated the flexibility: I was able to keep the unit for an extra two weeks with no hidden fees. The only small downside was the noise from the outdoor motor at night, but with the windows closed, it's bearable. I highly recommend it to anyone who doesn't want to invest in a costly purchase. For $80 a month, it's guaranteed comfort!"

"Honestly, I didn't think renting an AC in Barcelona would be so practical. I live in a small studio in Gràcia, with no possibility of installing a fixed split. I found a company that offers very efficient portable monoblocks. The customer service was exemplary: they advised me on the model suitable for my space (25 m²) and came to install it on a Saturday morning. The AC cools well, even in the middle of an August afternoon. I just had to empty the water tank every two days, but that's not a hassle. The price is reasonable for the duration (three months). At the end, they dismantled everything without leaving a trace. An ideal solution for tenants!"

"Living in Barceloneta, the humidity and heat are unbearable in summer. I decided to rent a reversible air conditioner for my apartment. It was a wise choice: the unit is powerful, dehumidifies well, and can even heat in the mid-season. Delivery was fast, but I had a small issue with the exhaust hose not being long enough for my window. The company sent a technician the same day to adapt it, at no extra charge. Since then, everything works perfectly. I finally sleep peacefully, and so does my cat! The only downside is the electricity consumption has increased a bit, but it's still cheaper than buying a new unit. Reliable service, I recommend."
