When investing in a new air conditioning unit or heat pump, one of the biggest questions homeowners have is: How long will it last? The answer depends on several factors, including the quality of the unit, how often it’s used, and most importantly—whether it receives regular professional maintenance and prompt AC repair when necessary.
A well-maintained air conditioner or heat pump can last 15 years, but without routine care, its lifespan can be cut in half. That means you could find yourself needing a costly replacement in just 7 years—a huge difference that underscores the importance of professional service.
