How Long Do AC Units Last in Virginia?

While a typical AC unit might last 10-15 years, Virginia Beach's heat, humidity, and salty coastal air can be brutal on a system—if you are not keeping up with maintenance, the lifespan of a system can be considerably lower. That's why Climatemakers of VA offers comprehensive maintenance services designed to support a long and healthy life for your system. 

Our NATE-certified technicians proactively identify and resolve potential issues, preventing the need for costly repairs and protecting your investment. We deliver expert advice, superior installations, and maintenance plans built with Virginia Beach's climate in mind.

When Should You Replace Your Air Conditioner?

While regular maintenance can extend its lifespan, every air conditioner eventually reaches a point where replacement is the most cost-effective and sensible option. 

Here are the key signs that it may be time to upgrade your AC system:

• Age: Air conditioners typically last 10-15 years. If yours is approaching or exceeding that age, it's nearing the end of its efficient lifespan, even if it's still functioning.
• Frequent and costly repairs: If you're constantly calling for repairs, especially for major components like the compressor, it's time to weigh the cost of repairs against the price of a new unit. Repeated breakdowns indicate declining reliability.
• Decreasing efficiency: Notice a steady climb in your energy bills without a corresponding increase in usage? Your AC could be losing efficiency, costing you more money to operate. Modern systems are significantly more energy efficient.
• Inconsistent cooling and humidity: Uneven temperatures or persistent humidity problems within your home suggest that your AC may be on its last leg.
• Outdated refrigerant (R-22): If your system still uses R-22 Freon, it needs to be replaced. R-22 has been phased out due to its environmental impact, and its cost has become prohibitive.

Replacing your air conditioner is a considerable investment. While deciding can be intimidating, you do not need to worry about making a mistake—we can give you the advice needed to make an informed decision.
