  • What is the average life of a central air conditioning system?
    It can vary, depending on how much the system is used and how regularly it is checked or serviced. Generally, the average life of cooling units built in the 1970s and 1980s is about 15 years, but individual units may vary and last much longer, depending on use and how well they are maintained. An annual check up by trained technicians will significantly increase the life span of your air conditioning units.
