The most common answer today is 10 to 15 years. Professional installation practices and proper maintenance are the key elements to assure long troublefree equipment life.

With proper maintenance, we have seen air conditioning systems last over 20 years! In Costa Rica, the average is 8-10 years.

Like most appliances, an air conditioner needs to be regularly cleaned and maintained. The filters need to be cleaned and the whole system should be serviced every 12 months or for heavy users more frequently. Houses that are close to salt air should have their outdoor system checked regularly. Commercial systems are best maintained on a monthly or bi monthly basis. A maintenance schedule can be arranged with the service department. If regularly maintained an air conditioner can last over 10 years.
