Why choose VENTILO for your used air conditioning?

VENTILO is the first peer-to-peer platform specialized in air conditioning in Bern and throughout Switzerland. Unlike large generalist platforms, we understand the technical and regulatory issues related to cooling systems. Our single 10% commission is the most transparent on the market: no hidden fees, no subscription. This percentage covers the full securing of payment via our escrow system, the verification of listings, and the provision of a standard contract compliant with Swiss contract law. For the buyer, it guarantees receiving equipment in the described working condition. For the seller, it ensures receiving their money without the risk of non-payment or dispute. We also verify that the offered devices comply with Swiss standards (energy label, authorized refrigerants). VENTILO facilitates the transition to a circular economy: a reused air conditioner means one less device to produce and discard. Join a local, responsible, and economical community. How to book?

How does secure buying and selling work?

The process is simple and fully digitalized, designed for residents of Bern and the surrounding area. 1. Listing: The seller creates a free ad with photos, power (BTU), age, and condition. VENTILO checks the consistency of the information. 2. Negotiation: The interested buyer makes an offer via the integrated messaging system. 3. Secure Payment: Once an agreement is reached, the buyer deposits the amount into VENTILO's escrow account (managed by an approved financial partner in Switzerland). The funds are blocked. 4. Handover: The two parties agree on a meeting in Bern (public place or at home). The buyer inspects and tests the device. 5. Release of Funds: If everything is in order, the buyer confirms receipt via the application. VENTILO immediately transfers the amount to the seller, minus our 10% commission. In case of a dispute (non-conforming or defective device not mentioned), our local mediation team intervenes to find a fair solution. Payment will only be released with the agreement of both parties. This system eliminates the risks of fraud, fake payment scams, or no-show meetings. Find a device.

The advantages of peer-to-peer air conditioning in Bern

Bern experiences increasingly hot summers, with temperatures regularly exceeding 35°C in the city. Buying a new air conditioner represents a significant budget (often $800 to $2000 for a reversible model). VENTILO allows you to acquire quality equipment, often from major brands (Daikin, Mitsubishi, LG), for 40 to 60% less than new. For sellers, it's an opportunity to recover money on equipment they no longer use (moving, system change). We promote local transactions: no shipping costs, no polluting packaging, and the ability to see the device working before buying. Furthermore, our platform is bilingual French/German, perfectly suited to the Bern region. Each listing includes practical advice for disassembly and transport (for example, how to recover refrigerant gas without leaks, or how to transport a wall-mounted split unit without damaging the fins). By choosing VENTILO, you help reduce the carbon footprint of air conditioning: producing a new device generates an average of 300 kg of CO2. Giving an air conditioner a second life is a concrete action for the urban environment. Available equipment in

General terms and conditions and user protection

VENTILO is committed to providing a legal and secure framework for all transactions. Our 10% commission is due only in the event of a successful sale via the platform. It is deducted from the final sale amount (example: for a device sold for $500, the seller receives $450). Secure payment is mandatory for all transactions concluded via VENTILO; any attempt at payment outside the platform is prohibited and results in account suspension. We strongly recommend using a certified refrigeration technician for the disassembly and installation of fixed split units (in accordance with the Swiss ordinance on refrigerants). VENTILO is not responsible for installation but provides a list of partner professionals in Bern to assist you. The legal warranty is that of the private seller: the item must conform to the description. In case of a dispute not resolved by our mediation, the parties can resort to the district court of Bern. Our platform complies with Swiss data protection legislation (FADP). Your payment information is never shared between users. We use end-to-end SSL encryption. VENTILO is a company registered in Bern, with customer support reachable by chat and email in French and German. Find a device

They rented in Berne

"I rented an air conditioner for my apartment in Bern during the July heatwave. The service was impeccable: fast delivery in two hours, careful installation by a friendly technician. The device was quiet and powerful, perfect for our stifling nights. The price was very reasonable for a weekly rental. I highly recommend this service to residents of the Länggasse district looking for a temporary solution against the heat. We were able to sleep comfortably even with 35°C outside. A real relief!"

"Living in the old town of Bern, I feared the installation would be complicated with my casement windows. Wrong! The team adapted a special kit in less than 30 minutes. The portable AC was so discreet I forgot about it. In one week of rental, I found peaceful nights and a pleasant office for teleworking. The value for money is excellent, especially compared to buying a device you only use a few days a year. Responsive and professional customer service. Thank you for this breath of fresh air!"

"A tenant in the Lorraine district, I didn't want to invest in a fixed AC unit. Renting saved the day. Simple online order, flexible delivery slots. The technician installed everything in 20 minutes and explained the basic maintenance. The device cooled my living room from 30°C to 24°C in less than an hour. I extended my rental by a week because I was so satisfied. For Bern's heat peaks, it's the ideal solution: effective, economical, and commitment-free. I recommend it to all my neighbors."
