6. My Air Conditioning is over ten years old do I need to replace it?
The average lifespan of air conditioning systems here in southwest Florida is generally 10 to 14 years. Ideally, it should be energy-efficient, while maintaining comfort in every part of the home. Your system should be able to reduce the humidity level, while lowering the temperature enough to let people sleep well or enjoy their activities when they’re awake.
Even with regular maintenance, you may reach a point where your system isn’t functioning well enough to keep your home comfortable during the hottest part of the summer. Contributing factors are the age of the system, excessive noise, increasing energy bills, cooling and humidity inconsistencies.
