How Long Should My AC Unit Last?

When it comes to how long your AC unit should last, there are quite a few factors involved. Older air conditioning units typically last for around 10-12 years when properly maintained. More modern air conditioners can last around 15-20 years with proper maintenance.

Signs You May Need to Replace Your Air Conditioner

Wondering what the signs are that it may be time to replace your older unit? Here are a few to think about:

Frequent AC Breakdowns

Are you constantly having to perform maintenance on your current AC unit? This can typically be a sign that it is time to just replace the unit. While it may be a more expensive upfront cost, over time maintenance can add up, ultimately being a worse decision overall.

Higher Utilities

Have your energy bills recently skyrocketed and you can’t figure out why? No changes to energy consumption? This can typically be a sign that your AC unit is struggling and requiring more resources.

You Have An Older Unit

As mentioned above, older AC units have a shorter lifespan than the modern units available. Typically 10-12 years, with proper maintenance. Parts can also become obsolete, meaning you have to upgrade your unit because they are no longer available.
