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.
In a northern state, the ac might be needed for only two to three months. This extra service time, understandably, can affect the life of the unit. Another major factor affecting how long air conditioners last is the amount of service and care that the system receives over the years. If you skip tregular tuneups, allow debris to clog the outdoor unit and ignore filter changes; you have a recipe for early replacement.
