A well-maintained central air-conditioning system under average demand typically lasts 15 to 20 years.
An air conditioner's life expectancy varies greatly for a number of reasons. All in all, each unit is different, and every owner uses it in a different way, depending on their climate and comfort preferences.
Among the factors that impact the lifespan of your air conditioner are regular maintenance like inspecting and cleaning or replacing an air filter, installation quality, and right-sizing, climate issues such as high humidity, exposure to the elements and foreign objects such as leaves, pine needles, mulch, trash or any other items, personal comfort preferences, thermostat settings, and system wear-out.
