How often do AC capacitors need to be replaced?

• <div><p>AC capacitors last between five and 15 years, with an average lifespan of 10 years. Most people only need to replace a capacitor once during an AC unit’s lifetime. You don’t need to replace the capacitor unless something is wrong with it, which an HVAC repair pro can diagnose. </p></div>

What kind of refrigerant does my HVAC system use?

• <div><p>Some HVAC systems tend to use R410A refrigerant, although if you have an older model <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/what-fair-price-r-22-refrigerant.htm">it may be using R22</a>. R22 is banned due to its harmful environmental and health impacts, and it is a sign that your AC unit is old enough to consider a replacement and the significant efficiency gains that could come with it.</p></div>

Heating and Air Conditioning questions, answered by experts

The outdoor portions of air conditioners are designed to weather the rain, so you don’t need to worry about it. An awning or roof will help protect them from snow or falling debris, which can do more damage. This is true of both window AC and outdoor units for larger systems.

To find a reputable HVAC company, start by finding providers in your area that have mostly positive reviews online. Next, check the Better Business Bureau’s website for customer complaints. Some states and municipalities require technicians to be licensed, so you should rule out companies that aren’t. Finally, contact each professional and ask for per-hour pricing, contract availability, and references to call. You can also ask if they have worked on your particular system brand in the past to confirm that they’re qualified.

Don’t run your AC with a wet filter. It can cause your AC to work too hard, which will run up your utility bill and cause extra wear and tear on the system. You could also spread moisture and mold throughout your house. Turn off the AC, remove the wet filter, and check for cracks or clogs. Fix the problem (with a pro’s help, if you need it), and put a dry filter in place before you turn the system back on.

AC capacitors last between five and 15 years, with an average lifespan of 10 years. Most people only need to replace a capacitor once during an AC unit’s lifetime. You don’t need to replace the capacitor unless something is wrong with it, which an HVAC repair pro can diagnose.

Some HVAC systems tend to use R410A refrigerant, although if you have an older model it may be using R22. R22 is banned due to its harmful environmental and health impacts, and it is a sign that your AC unit is old enough to consider a replacement and the significant efficiency gains that could come with it.
