As already mentioned, air conditioning units can last up to 20 years, provided it’s maintained properly. Here are a few ways through which you can extend the lifespan of your air conditioning systems.
1. Clean the area around the outdoor unit periodically to ensure the dirt or shrubs don’t make their way inside the unit.
2. Remove the air filter and clean them with lukewarm water to remove dirt and impurities.
3. Check the vents regularly to ensure they aren’t clogged. In case they are clogged, the unit won’t work efficiently and will consume more power than usual.
4. Install a smart thermostat because thermostats cut down energy costs.
