Heating and Air Conditioning questions, answered by experts

Yes, through thorough cleaning and inspection, optimizing functionality, and reducing energy use.

While most air conditioners can last between 10 and 20 years, they will only last this long (or longer) if properly taken care of. Routine maintenance and inspections help keep your AC unit running in tip-top shape but understanding what factors will decrease its lifespan will also help keep your unit running cool.

Some things that shorten your AC’s lifespan include:

Extreme outdoor conditions, like high humidity or extensive salt spray
Improper installation
Extended run times, either by the unit being too small or the thermostat setting too low
Not performing required maintenance

Troubleshooting common issues with your AC often sheds light on a problem with the compressor. Signs that you need to replace a bad compressor include your AC blowing warm air, short cycling (turning on and off), making strange noises, and blowing less air overall. Since these problems can stem from several areas of your AC, always call a local AC repair team to confirm it's the compressor.

You will only need to refill your AC with refrigerant if it has a leak. Otherwise, a modern, well-maintained AC will most likely never need a recharge. You may notice a leak in an older system if your bills are higher, you hear a hissing sound, or if the air is blowing out hot.

To make the most out of your AC, consider implementing the following best practices:

Choose the right size AC for your home to ensure your unit runs as efficiently as possible.
Choose a window with shade, as direct sunlight can cause your AC unit to overheat.
Clean or replace the filter at least every two months.
Inspect the AC’s fan and straighten it if necessary.
Discontinue use immediately if you suspect a malfunction, as running the AC while broken can lead to significant issues.
Turn off (or adjust the temperature) when you leave the house.
