For HVAC companies, dealing with old air conditioning units and metal scrap is an unavoidable part of the business. But what if you could turn those discarded materials into a source of revenue instead of a hassle? That’s where ASM Recycling comes in. With decades of experience in the scrap metal industry, ASM is a locally owned, trusted name, offering HVAC companies a reliable, profitable, and hassle-free way to recycle their scrap. From no roll-off fees in most cases to expert advice on maximizing your returns, ASM Recycling ensures that HVAC professionals get the best value for their materials.
Understanding Scrap Metal Prices
Scrap metal prices are influenced by a variety of factors, including market demand, the type of metal, and global commodity prices. But HVAC companies can take specific steps to make sure they get the highest possible value for their scrap. Here are a few tips that can help boost the bottom line:
Separate Metals for Maximum Value
A whole air conditioning unit can be sold as is, but HVAC companies should consider breaking it down to maximize returns. Nonferrous metals, like copper and aluminum, have significantly higher values than mixed scrap. The components to separate:
- Copper-aluminum coils
- Compressors (sealed units)
- Miscellaneous copper and aluminum parts
- Scrap iron/steel
HVAC companies can receive a better payout for their materials by breaking down the components of a unit. ASM Recycling can guide you in properly sorting your scrap to ensure you get the best rates.
Reduce Hauling Expenses
Transportation is one of the biggest hidden costs for HVAC companies recycling scrap. While it may be tempting to go with the nearest scrapyard, not all facilities pay the same price for materials. ASM Recycling offers competitive pricing and—in most cases—will send a truck or container to haul your materials at no additional cost. This means you can maximize profits without worrying about high transportation expenses.
Keep Up with Market Pricing
The value of scrap metal fluctuates, sometimes on a daily basis, because it’s commodity-based. Staying informed about market trends is crucial for HVAC companies looking to optimize their returns. ASM Recycling offers insights into current pricing and market trends so you can make informed decisions about when and where to sell your scrap.
Work with a Reputable Scrap Dealer
Not all scrap dealers operate with transparency, so it’s essential to establish a relationship with a reputable company like ASM Recycling. We use state-certified scales to ensure accuracy and fairness in every transaction. Additionally, we grade materials properly, meaning you get the highest value for what you bring in.
Keep Your Scrap Secure
Theft is an ongoing issue in the scrap metal industry, and thieves know the value of discarded HVAC units and components. Keeping your scrap metal in a secure location helps prevent losses. ASM Recycling can provide guidance on best practices to store your scrap safely before recycling.
Stay Compliant with Local Laws
Metal theft laws exist to prevent illegal scrapping, but HVAC companies and their employees are typically exempt as long as they provide the proper documentation. ASM Recycling makes compliance easy by guiding you through the paperwork and ensuring that your transactions remain legal and hassle-free.
