The specific heat of water is 1 calorie/gram Â°C = 4.186 joule/gram Â°C which is higher than any other common substance. As a result, water plays a very important role in temperature regulation.
Central air conditioners typically last from 10 to 15 years. The lifespan of a central cooling unit may be reduced if its capacity is not properly matched to the cooling load of the home.
Noisy equipment, excessive humidity within the home and a unit older than 10 years are among the top reasons to replace your central air conditioning, according to Energy Star, a U.S. government program promoting energy efficiency.ost central air conditioning units come with two-to five-year warranties. Extended warranties can be purchased for an additional price -- usually for several hundred dollars -- and the longer the warranty, the higher the price.
