What are the future forecasts for Portland?▼
Portland now experiences summers marked by intense heat waves. Temperatures regularly exceed 38°C (100°F) during heat waves, especially in July and August. These episodes, once rare, are becoming more frequent and longer due to climate change. The Pacific Northwest region, historically temperate, is not equipped for widespread air conditioning: less than 60% of Portland homes have one. This exposes residents to serious health risks, like heatstroke, especially among the elderly and children. Nights often stay above 21°C, preventing the body from recovering. Renting a fan or air conditioner through Ventilo allows you to respond quickly to these heat spikes without a heavy investment. During a heat wave, a device rented for a week can make the difference between an unbearable home and a cool refuge. Our marketplace helps you anticipate these episodes by finding available equipment nearby, just when you need it.
Sell your air conditioner with ease
VENTILO is the first platform dedicated to exchanging air conditioners between individuals in Portland. Do you have a portable air conditioner, a reversible heat pump, or a split system you no longer use? Instead of letting it gather dust in the basement or paying removal fees, list it for sale on VENTILO. Our model is simple: you set your price, we handle the rest. The commission is only 10% on the sale amount, which is much lower than the margins charged by professional resellers. Payment is fully secured through our partner Stripe: the buyer deposits the funds into an escrow account as soon as the transaction is confirmed. You are only paid when the buyer has verified the device is working. No more fake check scams or risky meetups. In Portland, where summers are getting hotter, demand for used air conditioners in good condition is exploding. Whether you're selling a small model for a studio or a centralized system, VENTILO guarantees maximum visibility thanks to our local matching algorithm. Sign up for free, upload a few photos, add the technical specifications (BTU, energy class, age, brand), and your listing is online in under 5 minutes. We verify every profile to prevent fraudulent accounts. Join the hundreds of Portlanders who have already sold their equipment on VENTILO and turn your old air conditioner into cash, stress-free and risk-free. How to book?
Buy smart: quality air conditioning at a great price
Looking to cool your apartment or house in Portland without breaking the bank? With VENTILO, buy a used air conditioner directly from a neighbor in your area. Prices are on average 40 to 60% cheaper than new, and you benefit from total transparency. Each listing includes real photos, the purchase date, frequency of use, and general condition (like new, good condition, worn). Thanks to our rating system and verified reviews, you know exactly who you're dealing with. Secure payment is your shield: you deposit the funds into our escrow account as soon as you find a listing you like. The money is only released to the seller after you have received the device and confirmed it works perfectly. If the air conditioner doesn't match the description or has an undisclosed defect, you get a full refund. No risk, no unpleasant surprises. Since Portland is a city where heat spikes are common between June and September, demand is high. VENTILO lets you filter by type (portable, wall-mounted, reversible), power (in BTU), brand (Daikin, Mitsubishi, LG, Frigidaire), and zip code. You can even set an alert as soon as a new device matching your criteria is listed. And if you're torn between two models, compare them side-by-side with our built-in tool. Buy local, save big, and breathe easier. VENTILO: air conditioning between neighbors, with complete trust. Find a device.
Why only 10% commission?
At VENTILO, we believe resale platforms shouldn't take half your sale. That's why we set our commission at a flat 10%, regardless of the device's price. For an air conditioner sold for $500, you pocket $450 net, compared to sometimes only $350 on other general marketplaces that charge 15 to 20% in fees, not including promotion fees. Our business model is simple: the more you sell, the more we earn, but we want you to stay in control of your price. This 10% covers: secure matchmaking, the escrow payment service (protecting both buyer and seller), listing moderation, hosting high-resolution photos, and our Portland-based customer support (available by chat, email, and phone from 8 AM to 8 PM). We charge no monthly subscription, no listing fees, no extra for premium ads. You can post as many listings as you want. And for buyers, purchasing is completely free: no hidden fees, no markup. Our commission is only charged to the seller at the time of the actual sale. We chose this model to encourage the reuse of air conditioning equipment in Portland, reduce electronic waste, and make cooling accessible to everyone. Lower fees = more transactions = a more active community. Join the movement and see for yourself why thousands of Portlanders trust us. Available equipment in
How does secure payment work?
Secure payment is the heart of trust on VENTILO. We use an escrow account system managed by a licensed financial partner in the United States. Here is the step-by-step process, designed to be as smooth as a standard online purchase. Step 1: The buyer and seller agree on a price via our integrated messaging system. Step 2: The buyer clicks 'Buy securely.' They are redirected to a Stripe payment interface where they deposit the total amount (device price + any shipping costs if the seller offers delivery). The funds are immediately locked in a third-party account, inaccessible to both the seller and us. Step 3: The seller receives a notification that the payment is secured. They can then arrange a meeting for an in-person handover (recommended in Portland) or ship the device via an insured carrier. Step 4: The buyer receives the air conditioner. They have 48 hours to inspect it, plug it in, and verify it works (fan, heating/cooling modes, remote control, no abnormal noise). If everything is fine, they click 'Confirm receipt.' The transfer is then automatically released to the seller's bank account within 24 to 48 business hours. Step 5: In case of a dispute (device not as described, broken, or not delivered), the buyer opens a case through our resolution center. VENTILO acts as a neutral mediator: we analyze the evidence (photos, messages, test video). If the seller is at fault, the buyer is fully refunded within 5 business days. If the buyer abuses the system, the seller is paid after verification. This system eliminates the risks of bad checks, canceled transfers, or theft. In Portland, where cash transactions are risky, VENTILO gives you the peace of mind of a professional marketplace, but between individuals. Find a device
They rented in Portland
"I rented a portable air conditioner for my apartment in Portland during the July heatwave. The process was incredibly simple: online order, delivery within 24 hours. The device was powerful and quiet, perfect for my south-facing living room. Customer service was responsive when I had a question about the water collection tray. I highly recommend this rental solution, especially if you don't want to invest in an expensive purchase for occasional use. The value for money is unbeatable, and the installation team was very professional. An experience I will repeat without hesitation."

"We rented two air conditioners for our office in Portland during the intense heat in August. Booking was done with one click and delivery was punctual. The devices were new and very efficient, maintaining a comfortable temperature even in the middle of the afternoon. The troubleshooting service is available 7 days a week, which reassured us. The flexibility of weekly rental allowed us to adjust the duration according to the weather. The pickup staff was equally courteous. An ideal solution for professionals who want to avoid purchase and maintenance costs. I am fully satisfied."

"Having a baby at home, I needed a reliable and fast solution to cool his room in Portland. Renting an AC saved me! The technician came to install the device in less than two hours after my order. He took the time to explain how it worked and the optimal settings for the night. The device is very quiet; my son was able to sleep peacefully. The price is very affordable compared to buying, and I don't have to worry about storage in winter. Impeccable service, I recommend it to all young moms!"
