The average expected life of an air conditioner is approximately 15 years. The average expected life of a heat pump is approximately 10 to 12 years, since it operates year round. Units in coastal environments have shorter lives. For the efficiency of the air conditioning service it is important to not force the use old equipment. Over time, the cost in energy waste can easily exceed the cost of the replacement air conditioning unit.
