HOW LONG DOES AN AIR CONDITIONER REALLY LAST?
(The Truth You Need Before It's Too Late)
When it comes to staying cool, your air conditioner is your best friend. But just like anything else, it won’t last forever.
How Long Does an A/C Last?
12 TO 15 YEARS. That’s the typical range for most central air conditioners—IF they’ve been properly maintained.
FACTORS THAT CAN SHORTEN ITS LIFE:
LACK OF MAINTENANCE
DIRTY FILTERS
LOW REFRIGERANT
POOR INSTALLATION
CONSTANT OVERUSE
SIGNS YOUR AC IS NEARING THE END:
BLOWING WARM AIR
WEIRD NOISES
FREQUENT REPAIRS
ENERGY BILLS SKYROCKETING
PRO TIP: Want to stretch your AC’s life to the max? Get annual tune-ups, change filters regularly, and don’t ignore small problems—they become big ones fast.
BOTTOM LINE: If your system is 10+ years old and struggling, it might be time to plan for a replacement before it quits on the hottest day of the year.
