What Is the Average Lifespan of an Air Conditioning Unit?

As with many appliances and systems in your home, your air conditioning unit will have a limited lifespan. The average lifespan of an air conditioner is between 10 and 15 years. However, this can vary significantly depending on your unit type, how well it has been maintained, and how heavily you use it. 

Installing a New Air Conditioner? Here Are Things to Consider. 

When it comes time to upgrade your existing air conditioner or install a new system, you likely have questions about how to choose an efficient system, what size unit you need, and more. Below, we have provided answers to these questions and others you might have. 

What to consider when installing a new air conditioner:

• Energy Efficiency: While sorting through cooling technologies, look for high seasonal energy efficiency ratio (SEER2) ratings. A unit with a higher rating will use less electricity, all while keeping you cool.
• Proper Sizing: An air conditioner with the proper capacity for your home is crucial. Choosing the right size system involves accounting for your square footage, number of windows, insulation quality, and other factors.
• Ductwork: If your home already has existing ductwork, call a professional to inspect it for leaks, clogs, or faults before upgrading your cooling unit. Leaky, blocked, or damaged ducts can significantly reduce a system's efficiency.
• Installation Location: Consider where you will put your new air conditioner. Ideally, you will want it out of direct sunlight and away from direct heat sources. It will also need adequate airflow to ensure its maximum efficiency.
