Q: What is the average lifespan of an AC unit?

• <div><p>On average, an AC unit lasts between 10 and 20 years. However, the specific lifespan depends on the type of unit, how often it's used, the local climate, and the quality of maintenance. Central AC units typically last 12 to 17 years, while window units have a shorter lifespan of 8 to 10 years. Portable AC units last about 5 to 10 years, and ductless mini-split systems can last up to 20 years. To extend the life of your AC unit, it's important to perform regular maintenance, such as replacing filters, cleaning coils, and scheduling annual professional tune-ups.</p></div>

Q: If I don’t want to replace my air conditioner filter, can I clean it?

• <div><p>Yes, you can clean your air conditioner filter as a temporary fix for cleaning up dirt, but you&rsquo;ll eventually need to replace it once the dust starts to accumulate. Use a vacuum with a hose attachment to clean your air filter at least once per year or more often if you have pets.</p></div>

Q: How long do AC evaporator coils last?

• <div><p>Evaporator coils in an HVAC system typically last between 10 and 15 years, which is roughly the same lifespan as the entire AC unit. The longevity of the coils can be affected by usage frequency, environmental conditions, and how well they are maintained. Regular maintenance, such as cleaning and inspections, can extend their durability. If the evaporator coil fails in an older air conditioner, it may be more cost-effective to replace the whole unit rather than just the coil.</p></div>

Q: What temperature should I keep the house while on vacation?

• <div><p>Set your house temperature between 55 and 85 degrees Fahrenheit while on vacation, depending on the season. If it&rsquo;s winter, don&rsquo;t go below 55 degrees. In the summer, the <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/best-ac-temp-for-energy-efficiency.htm">best AC temperature for energy savings</a> is no higher than 85 degrees. You can save anywhere from 10% to 15% on your energy costs by adjusting the temperature while you&rsquo;re away. If you have a smart thermostat, set up vacation modes for each season. On your way home, turn off vacation mode to allow the home to warm up or cool down before you arrive. </p></div>

Q: Which is cheaper to run: a ducted or split system?

• <div><p>While both have advantages, a split system is generally cheaper than a ducted one. Because they are less invasive to install, the labor costs are lower, and they can be more energy efficient. But, a ducted system might be worth the investment if you run it more frequently. </p></div>

"Incredibly professional, always happy to answer questions. Unlike other places that install and you never hear from again, Cam, David, and crew make sure your heat pump stays in tip top shape with yearly cleanings. They even offered to clean a unit that another contractor put in a year prior who refused to come clean it. I got quotes from over 8 different companies for my second heat pump, and Heat Pumps of Maine were a clear step above the rest."
