How Long Do Air Conditioners Last In Ontario? Expert HVAC Services in Toronto.
A common question we get at Alliance Energy Source is, “How long do air conditioning systems last in Ontario?”
The answer directly ties to how well the system is maintained. If you take good care of it, your AC system will last 10-15 years or longer.
As you can see, you have control over the answer to the question. Just like a car, with proper maintenance and regular tune-ups, you can, without a doubt, extend the useful life of your air conditioning system.
Signs It’s Time To Replace Your Air Conditioner:
- Too Many AC Repairs: If your older AC unit requires frequent repairs, especially if it’s more than 15 years old, it’s time to consider an air conditioning upgrade.
- Wrong AC Size: Having the wrong size AC unit can lead to inefficiencies and higher energy bills. A unit that’s too small will struggle to cool your home, while one that’s too big will cycle on and off frequently, both stressing the system and inflating your energy costs.
- AC Making Loud Noises: Unusual sounds like buzzing, banging, or hissing from your AC indicate a problem. Contact the professionals at Alliance Energy Source immediately for diagnosis and repair or replacement.
- AC Freezing Up: Ice buildup on your AC, usually on the evaporator coils, indicates restricted airflow and potential refrigerant issues. Switch to “Fan Only” mode to defrost and call a professional to determine the underlying problem.
- Air Conditioner Is Leaking Outside: A pool of water around your outdoor AC unit could signal mechanical failure or water damage. Contact us to diagnose and address the issue promptly.
How To Keep Your Air Conditioner Running Efficiently:
- Change Your Air Filter: Replace dirty air filters regularly to improve air quality and protect your system from damage.
- Clean Air Ducts: Periodically cleaning air ducts enhances HVAC efficiency and indoor air quality.
- Clear Dirt & Debris: Keeping your air conditioner free from dirt and debris will extend its lifespan and allow it to function in a more efficient manner.
- Regular AC Maintenance: Sign up for our Air Conditioner Maintenance Program for yearly tune-ups to ensure your system operates at peak efficiency.
