Does AC Direct Sell Closeouts or Discontinued Equipment?

Reviewed by AC Direct Technical Team Updated June 6, 20263 min read
The short answerNo. Each item AC Direct sells is current generation, brand new, and factory fresh. The company does not pass off overstock or discontinued units as standard inventory. When a true closeout or scratch and dent unit is offered, it is clearly marked and priced lower. The full manufacturer warranty is always included.

How factory direct pricing stays low without selling old or discontinued stock.

The short answer

No. The low pricing has nothing to do with selling closeouts, discontinued models, or outdated equipment. Every item AC Direct sells is current generation, brand new, and factory fresh, and it ships with the full manufacturer warranty. A contractor who suggests otherwise may simply be comparing direct online pricing to a traditional retail markup.

Why factory direct pricing is lower

AC Direct is an online retailer that buys complete systems and ships them direct to your door. Cutting out the layers of local markup is what lowers the price, not the age or status of the equipment. You receive the same current models a contractor would install, often at a meaningful savings, and the full factory warranty stays intact.

What about closeouts and scratch and dent units?

On occasion AC Direct does offer genuine closeouts or scratch and dent equipment. When that happens, those units are clearly identified as such and priced even lower so the savings are passed along to you. They are never mixed into standard inventory or sold as current stock.

Warranty coverage

The full manufacturer warranty is always included, whether the unit is standard inventory or a marked closeout. Warranty parts are covered by the manufacturer and obtained through a local licensed contractor or authorized distributor. Labor is not covered by the manufacturer warranty. AC Direct support can point you in the right direction if you ever need a warranty part.

Common questions

Is AC Direct equipment new or discontinued?
Standard inventory is current generation, brand new, and factory fresh. The low pricing comes from buying direct, not from selling discontinued or outdated stock.
Do closeout units still have a warranty?
Yes. The full manufacturer warranty is included on the units AC Direct sells. Closeout and scratch and dent listings are clearly marked and priced lower while keeping that coverage.
How can the prices be so low?
AC Direct ships complete systems direct to your door, which removes the local retail markup. That is what lowers the price, not the age or status of the equipment.
