How Long Should my AC Unit Last?

The team at National Heating and Air Conditioning is often asked this question. The truth is the life of your air conditioning unit is affected by a number of factors including accumulated runtime, system contamination and adherence to a regular maintenance schedule. Consistent maintenance of your AC unit will extend its life, lower operating costs and improve indoor comfort.

It’s no surprise that various debris and fragments, dirt and a low refrigerant charge are more often than not responsible for AC units to prematurly fail. That’s why it is important to inspect and change filters, clean the condensor coils, add refrigerant, lubricate moving parts and test vital components.
