How long does an AC system last?
The question of how long a typical AC or heating system lasts is a curious one – the answer most likely depends on how cynical you are. It's no secret that appliances of all kinds have shorter and shorter lifespans as companies are placing less and less emphasis on quality and more emphasis on design and unnecessary features.
Therefore, it's exceedingly hard to estimate how long an AC or heating unit you purchase could last. It's said that everything lasts as long as its warranty does, but we know that's not true or repair shops wouldn't be able to get contracts with manufacturers. In general, a quality AC should last no less than 5 years, and 10 years is a realistic estimate at least according to the manufacturers. In reality, ACs can break down in a couple of years or, if there's a technical fault, much sooner. But that's not to say that an AC can't be a good investment. Oftentimes, what makes the difference between an AC unit lasting 2 years and going past 10 is regular maintenance. Too often, people forget to maintain their AC altogether as it looks relatively clean and functional on the outside. On the inside, however, an accumulation of dust, dirt and other pollutants is slowly but surely reducing the unit's lifespan. Call Us: 830-476-766424/7 Emergency Services Available
