Air conditioning systems are typically a sizable investment, so many homeowners want their equipment to function for as long as possible. In this article, the cooling installation experts at American Refrigeration Heating and Air Conditioning Co., Inc. discuss a few factors that influence how long an air conditioner lasts.
-
Climate. The climate that we live in largely affects the performance and lifespan of your air conditioner. In a humid environment, the AC system has to run more to keep your space cool. You should regularly check its components and make sure the area around your unit is clean to encourage better airflow. If there are bushes or shrubs near your unit, routinely trim them to avoid overheating your unit.
-
Operation. A cooling system that is running frequently will sustain wear and tear in a shorter period than a system that is not often operating. An HVAC contractor knows that during scorching hot weather, your HVAC has to work twice as hard as normal in order to keep your home cool and comfortable.
-
Maintenance. Over time, components wear or break, causing your cooling system to break down or malfunction. However, with professional tune-ups and repairs at least once a year, you can extend the life of your HVAC system and keep it at peak efficiency year-round. A qualified technician will replace the air filters, thoroughly inspect and clean your system and alert you of anything that may cause problems down the road.
