The Lifespan of Your HVAC System: When to Repair and Replace

The average lifespan of an HVAC unit can range from 10 to 25 years, depending upon whether or not that system receives proper care, the environment in which it resides, the system itself and how rigorously that system is run.

Here are some tips that will help to ensure that your HVAC system lasts as long as possible:

Purchasing a properly sized HVAC system for your home or business and proper installation of that unit can both help to extend the lifespan of your HVAC system, as well as help to ensure optimal performance and energy savings.

Additionally, maintaining adequate airflow can reduce the stress on your HVAC system, extending its lifespan and efficiency. This includes making certain that your ductwork allows for favorable air distribution, changing air filters on a regular basis and keeping the area around your outdoor unit clean and free of debris.

You can also set your thermostat at a temperature that, while providing comfort, does not place any undo stress on your HVAC system. Installing a programmable thermostat can help.
