Home Depot ACs up to 72% off

Home Depot is using its Memorial Day promotion to push air conditioners ahead of the summer rush, with outside shopping coverage on May 19 highlighting discounts across portable, window and mini-split units. Bob Vila reported that Home Depot had cut some air conditioners by as much as 72%, while Yahoo Shopping said the retailer’s Memorial Day AC offers were running as high as 70% off. The company’s sale page shows discounted air conditioners under a dedicated Memorial Day section on its website. Memorial Day in 2026 falls on May 25. ### Where is the 72% figure coming from? Bob Vila said on May 19 that Home Depot had “drops air conditioners up to 72% off” for Memorial Day, describing the promotion as covering portable ACs, smart window units and DIY mini-split systems. The article framed the markdowns as part of a broader holiday push into cooling products as temperatures rise. Yahoo Shopping published a separate roundup on May 19 and put the top-end discount at 70% off. That article said Home Depot’s Memorial Day AC deals were already live and pointed readers to window and portable models in particular. ### What is Home Depot itself showing on the sale page? (bobvila.com) Home Depot’s Memorial Day air-conditioner page lists discounted units across several sizes and brands, including Midea, Windmill, GE Profile and Whynter. The page says customers can get free shipping on qualified Memorial Day Sale air conditioners or buy online and pick up in store. (shopping.yahoo.com) The same Home Depot page showed several smaller markdowns on May 19, including a Midea 8,000 BTU U+ Smart Inverter Window AC at $349 from $379, a 12,000 BTU version at $449 from $479, and a 10,000 BTU model at $379 from $419. A GE Profile ClearView 8,300 BTU window unit was listed at $399 from $422. ### Which products were singled out in outside coverage? (homedepot.com) Yahoo Shopping highlighted a Whynter portable air conditioner priced at $199, down from $708, alongside other window-unit deals from Midea, TCL and Frigidaire. The same article cited EPA spokesperson Carolyn Holran on what shoppers should look for when choosing an AC. (homedepot.com) Bob Vila’s May 19 piece said the sale also covered mini-split systems, wall ACs and heat-pump cooling systems aimed at apartments, bedrooms, garages, workshops and larger living spaces. That description suggests the promotion is broader than a single product type, even though the most aggressive markdowns in outside coverage centered on portable and window units. (shopping.yahoo.com) ### How long is the Memorial Day sale expected to run? Third-party sale trackers BlackFriday.com and TheBlackFriday.com both said Home Depot’s 2026 Memorial Day promotion began on May 14 and is scheduled to run through May 27. Those sites are not Home Depot corporate announcements, but they give a dated window for the current ad cycle. Hunker also reported that Home Depot’s Memorial Day deals started May 14 and covered more than 1,000 products across categories including appliances, furniture, tools and lawn and garden supplies. (bobvila.com) ### Will stores be open if shoppers wait until the holiday? Home Depot said in an April corporate post that its 2026 holiday schedule includes adjusted hours on some holidays and that customers should check the store locator for local times. (theblackfriday.com) The company’s holiday-hours page says store hours can vary by location. NBC News Select said Home Depot is among the major retailers open on Memorial Day, which this year falls on Monday, May 25. (hunker.com) For shoppers comparing online orders with in-store pickup, Home Depot’s sale page also showed same-day or next-day delivery options on some AC models as of May 19.
