Telltale Clues to Your Air Conditionerâs Life Span. The A/Câs age â The average air conditioner life span is roughly 15 years. If yours is over 10 years old, you can expect to see a steady loss of cooling capacity and efficiency. Older equipment is more prone to breakdowns too, so necessary repairs are more frequent.
Today's best air conditioners use 30% to 50% less energy to produce the same amount of cooling as air conditioners made in the mid 1970s. Even if your air conditioner is only 10 years old, you may save 20% to 40% of your cooling energy costs by replacing it with a newer, more efficient model. Proper sizing and installation are key elements in determining air conditioner efficiency. Too large a unit will not adequately remove humidity.
