When Should You Replace Your A/C? Adam Kern, Owner Official Heating & Cooling Statistically, the typical compressor on your A/C system should last 15 plus years. We come across 20-25 year old systems quite often. Even though these units are still cooling your home, they cost you twice as much on your electric bill than a new unit. The older units are using R22 which is no longer manufactured. There is still some of that refrigerant available but the price is so high that it isn't cost effective. When a repair is needed, we always give the customer the option of repair versus new equipment. Over the years we have had many customers who wanted to repair their old unit only to regret it later when other issues came up. The main advantage of new equipment is the efficiency, which can save 50% or more versus a 15-20 year old unit. Also, new equipment will give you peace of mind with an extended warranty on all parts and labor. Many people are very noise conscious and we have some units with such a low decible rating that you can't hear them unless standing next to the unit. If you have any HVAC questions, call 800-350-HVAC (4822) or email adam@officialhvac.com Bella says: Some rooms too hot, Some rooms too cold, basement too damp, If that's getting old...
