How long does an Air Conditioner last for?

Want to know how long an air conditioner will last or when to replace? We have you covered.

Key Takeaways:

• On average, an air conditioning unit lasts from 10-30 years.

• Lifespan will improve if your unit is well maintained and regularly tuned.

If you’re looking to see if your air conditioning unit should be replaced, there are multiple factors such as the aesthetics and effectiveness of your unit. A good indicator is the amount of use it has on it. If your AC looks old, worn down or even covered in rust, it’s probably time to consider a replacement.

Additionally, you should examine your energy bills to see there has been an unusual spike in costs from previous years. If your air conditioning unit is not working effectively, then it may be increasing energy consumption. These problems are most likely to happen between the 10–30 year mark and if your unit is showing these signs, then it might be time to upgrade your air conditioner.

However, there are ways to improve the life span of your air conditioner, including regular tuning and cleaning of your unit, and ensuring it is well maintained. Talk to Cold Sense today about the range of services we offer to help improve the efficiency and lifespan of your air conditioning unit.
