Buying, Refurbishing & Donating AEDs Across Canada
Sudden cardiac arrest can happen anywhere, at any time — and having an AED (Automated External Defibrillator) nearby can mean the difference between life and death. At AED.ca, our mission is simple: make AEDs more accessible and affordable across Canada.
One of the key ways we do this is by buying used AEDs, professionally refurbishing them, and reselling them at lower prices, while also donating AEDs to charities and non-profits who need them most.
Why Affordable AEDs Matter in Canada
Every year, thousands of Canadians experience sudden cardiac arrest outside of a hospital. Immediate access to a defibrillator can increase survival rates by up to 75%.
However, the cost of a new AED can be a barrier for:
- Small businesses
- Churches and community groups
- Sports organizations
- Schools and daycares
- Non-profits and charities
That’s where used AEDs and refurbished defibrillators come in — offering a cost-effective solution without compromising reliability or safety.
