No in-person chargesPricing for AC unit removal is based on the type and size of the unit, the number of units being picked up, and where the unit is located on your property. A window unit in a first-floor bedroom is priced differently than a heavy central AC condenser on an outdoor pad or a portable unit stored in a second-floor closet. Your upfront price reflects the specifics of your job before you book.
The unit should be detached and free to lift before your Loaders arrive. Your Loaders do not disconnect wiring, perform electrical work, or handle refrigerant removal, so any disconnection steps should be completed in advance.
LoadUp picks up all common residential air conditioning unit types, including the following.
Your booking total is transparent from the start. Optional adjustments like additional units, stairs, or extended carry distance are clearly shown during checkout so your final price is accurate and surprise-free at pickup.
The more you remove, the more you save. Discounts apply in real time as items are added.
Stairs add time and labor, which is factored in upfront to keep pricing fair for everyone.
For items that need to be taken apart, add disassembly to your booking during checkout.
Choose whether eligible items should be donated when possible during checkout.
For AC units, your Loaders prioritize recycling and responsible disposal through local facilities whenever possible, since these units contain components that require special handling. Disposal outcomes vary based on unit condition and what recycling options are available in your area.

(678) 884-4738AC unit pickup typically starts around $80. Your final price depends on the type of unit, how many you're having removed, and whether you choose curbside or in-home pickup. A window unit on the ground floor is priced differently than a central AC condenser on an outdoor pad or a portable unit stored upstairs. You'll see your exact price before you book, with no fees added at pickup.
Yes. The unit needs to be detached and free to lift before your Loaders arrive. They carry, move, and haul the unit away, but they don't disconnect wiring, perform electrical work, or handle refrigerant removal. If your window unit is still mounted in the frame or your condenser is still hardwired, those steps need to be handled in advance by you or a qualified technician.
LoadUp picks up all common residential AC unit types, including window units, portable air conditioners, central AC condensers, mini-split outdoor units, through-the-wall units, and ductless units. If you have more than one unit, you can add them during booking. Commercial or industrial HVAC equipment is outside the scope of this service.
That depends on the pickup type you choose. With curbside pickup, the unit needs to be in an accessible outdoor location before your Loaders arrive. With in-home pickup, your Loaders come inside and carry the unit out from wherever it sits, whether that's a bedroom, hallway, garage, or back room. You don't need to move it to the door yourself.
Your Loaders dispose of the unit responsibly, prioritizing recycling through local facilities where that option is available. AC units contain components that require special handling, so disposal isn't treated the same as regular bulk trash. Outcomes vary based on unit condition and what recycling options exist in your area, so recycling can't be guaranteed in every case.
It depends on the pickup type you booked. With curbside pickup, you don't need to be home as long as the unit is in an accessible outdoor location beforehand. With in-home pickup, someone needs to be present since your Loaders need to enter your home to carry the unit out.
Refrigerant recovery is regulated by the EPA, and only technicians certified under Section 608 of the Clean Air Act are legally allowed to recover and handle it. This applies to central AC condensers, mini-splits, and any sealed refrigerant system, which is why that step has to happen before pickup rather than being something a general removal service can do on-site.
Disconnecting a central AC condenser and recovering its refrigerant typically costs somewhere in the range of $100 to $300 through a licensed HVAC technician, depending on your area and the unit's size. That's a separate service from removal itself, and it needs to happen first since a condenser still holding refrigerant can't be picked up.
The right disposal method depends mostly on whether the unit still has refrigerant sealed inside it. Central AC condensers and mini-splits need a certified HVAC technician to recover the refrigerant first, since that's federally regulated and can't be skipped. Once that's done, or if you have a window or portable unit with no refrigerant recovery needed, you generally have three options: take it to a scrap metal or appliance recycling facility yourself, check if your utility company or manufacturer runs an appliance recycling rebate program, or schedule a pickup service to handle the hauling and disposal for you. Curbside trash pickup usually isn't an option, since most municipalities don't accept AC units with regular bulk trash.
Leaving a window unit in place through winter can let cold air leak in around the frame and put unnecessary strain on the seal, so many people do remove them seasonally. If you're not planning to reinstall the same unit next summer, or you're upgrading to something newer, that seasonal removal is a common point where people decide to have it hauled away instead of stored.
A central AC system uses one outdoor condenser connected to ductwork that distributes cooled air throughout the house. A mini-split, by contrast, uses one outdoor unit connected to one or more indoor units mounted directly in individual rooms, with no ductwork involved. Both configurations are accepted for removal, but a mini-split may involve multiple indoor and outdoor components depending on your setup.
