Among the most common questions we get from customers is, \u201cHow long does an air conditioner usually last?\u201d It\u2019s a valid question, but the reality is there are many variables that can have an impact on the lifespan of your system.<\/p>\n
In short, the answer is there is no single answer. While most air conditioner manufacturers will tell you that the average lifespan for a new system is between 10 and 15 years, it\u2019s different in the Valley of the Sun. It\u2019s important to consider that most of us run our systems a lot during the summer months which can take years off the expected lifespan. In other words, air conditioning systems can fail sooner in Arizona than in the rest of the country. But the good news is that you can proactively take steps to extend the lifespan of your air conditioning system. <\/p>\n
An oversized or an undersized unit can dramatically reduce the lifespan of an air conditioner. This is why it\u2019s important to always choose a professional to manage the installation of a new unit \u2013 ensuring that measurements are accurately taken to determine the right sized system. <\/p>\n
It\u2019s such a simple task, but one that is often overlooked by homeowners. With an air conditioner working at full capacity through the summer months, we suggest changing out filters every month. <\/p>\n
At Bruce\u2019s, we can arrange your air conditioning maintenance and keep you on schedule. This means an annual maintenance check and tune-up. If you have a heat pump, maintenance should be twice a year, just as you would schedule maintenance on a separate furnace. <\/p>\n
If you\u2019re experiencing a problem with your air conditioning unit, don\u2019t wait for the issue to worsen. This can make the difference between a minor fix and a major repair or even a replacement.
