I am planning on replacing a 22 year old Lennox 3.5 ton central air system with a new Lennox system. All components are being replaced, outdoor unit, furnace evaporator coil, line set, etc. The unit is still working but is ready to be updated both in terms of efficiency as well as noise level. I am not interested in using any of this old system any further.
Since the equipment is all working and providing correct cooling, and has a full charge of Freon, I am looking for advice for selling it off.
I understand that Freon cannot be purchased and evacuated without EPA license, but I assume there may be dealers or technicians looking to buy a few pounds.
I also understand that the Copeland scroll compressor, condenser fan, A-coil, expansion valve, line set, contactor, electronics, etc. are all used, but perhaps have some significant salvage value.
Do I put it up for sale on Craigslist?
Do I offer it to a scrap dealer?
Do I offer it to local HVAC people?
Any other / better ideas.
I get the impression that there are people who buy used but working Lennox and other units for parts.
My previous furnace brought $375 on Craigslist when the local heating guy said he would haul it away for free......
Any suggestions would be much appreciated.
