How Long Should Your AC Unit Last?

One of the most common questions that we receive at On Time Home Services is: How many years will my air conditioner last? We understand that a brand-new AC unit and installation is a big expense, so of course, you want to know that your system will last a long time. Thankfully, you can rely on your AC for at least 12 to 15 years — when you ensure that proper maintenance is performed regularly. However, there are many factors that shorten the lifespan of the unit.

Air conditioners are not all created equally. Depending on the type of unit you have and how it functions, it may require added effort in order to keep it running smoothly through the years. The size of the unit is one important factor. If the unit size is not matched to the size of your home, such as units that are oversized, then your system may turn on and off regularly, causing damage to the compressor. Or, if your AC is too small, it works harder, leading to the same result.

There are some things you can do to ensure that your AC unit goes the distance. To get more out of the system, reduce the strain on the unit by setting the thermostat a few degrees higher, and ensure that the vents, compressor cabinet, and internal components are kept clean. To further enhance the longevity of your AC unit, selecting the right model and size is crucial. Energy-efficient models may have a higher upfront cost but result in long-term savings. Additionally, smart thermostats offer better control over your home’s climate, optimizing both comfort and energy usage. These considerations not only prolong the unit’s life but also contribute to environmental sustainability, making your choice both practical and eco-friendly. 

While some of these things you can do yourself, your experts at On Time Home Services will take care of the rest as part of your regular maintenance service.

Commonly Asked Questions

What are the signs that my AC unit needs to be replaced?

Some signs that your AC unit may need to be replaced include age (typically 12-15 years), frequent breakdowns, uneven cooling, strange noises, and increasing energy bills.

Additionally, if you notice a decrease in cooling efficiency even after maintenance, or if your repair costs are adding up to more than half the price of a new unit, it may be time for an air conditioning replacement. A comprehensive evaluation of your current system can provide clarity on the ideal time for replacement.

What factors should I consider when replacing my AC unit?

When replacing your AC unit, consider factors such as the size of your home, energy efficiency, budget, available rebates, and the skills of the installation team.

It’s also crucial to think about the noise levels if the unit is installed near living areas. Consider models with modern controls and smart home automation capabilities for convenience and efficiency. Consulting with your HVAC service provider can help you prioritize these factors according to your specific needs.

How can I maintain my new AC unit to ensure longevity?

To maintain your new AC unit, regularly clean or replace air filters, schedule annual professional maintenance, keep the area around the outdoor unit clear, and adjust the thermostat to reduce strain on the system.

Engage in bi-annual check-ups that cover all critical components like refrigerant levels, electrical connections, and coils. Utilize features like programmable thermostats to optimize your energy use, helping maintain an efficient operation while extending the unit’s lifespan.

What are the benefits of professional AC replacement services?

Professional AC replacement services ensure proper sizing, installation, and system performance, potentially lower energy bills, improved indoor air quality, and reliable warranty coverage.

Moreover, professional services provide valuable consultation on the best system according to your specific home needs, saving you potential future costs. Their expert installation minimizes the risk of future operational issues, ensuring peace of mind and greater system reliability.

How does the local climate affect my AC system?

Temecula’s hot and dry climate places unique demands on air conditioning systems. High temperatures necessitate a robust cooling unit capable of operating efficiently under prolonged stress. Local residents often experience significant temperature fluctuations, which can lead to increased energy usage.

To counteract these effects, it's beneficial to opt for a system with adjustable humidity controls and an energy-efficient rating tailored for extreme temperatures. Additionally, regular maintenance becomes critical in handling the extra strain posed by the local climate. This includes cleaning and checking components to keep your system running smoothly and avoiding unplanned breakdowns during peak heat.

What should I do if my AC stops working unexpectedly?

If your AC stops working suddenly, first check your thermostat settings to ensure they haven't inadvertently been changed. Also, inspect breaker switches and ensure the power source is active. Clear any obstructions from the external unit, such as debris, which might impact its functioning.

After these initial checks, if the problem persists, it's best to contact a professional service like On Time Home Services. Our same-day service ensures prompt assistance during these unexpected inconveniences, restoring your comfort with minimal downtime. Also, consider our emergency repair services for urgent fixes, available 24/7.
