Q. If I buy a new air conditioner today, how long can I expect it to last?
1 Answer
If you get a brand new unit and look after it properly, you can expect it to last over 20 years. Two decades is a good number to use as a rule of thumb when crunching the numbers on whether or not it is a good idea to replace your old unit.
Of course, that generalization doesn’t tell the whole story. Cheaper units and units made by unreliable brands are much more likely to break down sooner. If you want your AC to last, you’re better off investing in a mid-tier option. Or you should at least do plenty of research so you can buy a budget option made by a company with a good track record. You can also call a Houston AC repair company like Century Air Solutions and ask for recommendations.
HVAC companies are usually in the loop when it comes to which brands people should avoid. And you’ll need an HVAC professional to help you install the unit anyway, so you can take care of both problems in one phone call.answered by brittanyhammond
