How long an air conditioner lasts depends on the quality of the unit, professional installation, correct sizing and regular maintenance. A well-installed and maintained air conditioner can serve reliably for many years. A neglected one can fail much sooner.
1. The right output
An undersized air conditioner runs flat out all the time and is under more strain. The output should be designed according to the room – What air conditioner output do I need? What it depends on.
2. Professional installation
The quality of the refrigerant circuit installation, pipe insulation and condensate drainage has a major effect on service life. Installation errors often show up only after some time. Read more in the article The most common air conditioner installation mistakes and how to avoid them.
3. Clean filters
Clean the filters according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Clogged filters restrict the airflow and increase the load on the unit.
4. Regular servicing
We recommend a service inspection once a year. The technician checks the operating values, the condensate drain and the condition of the units, and detects developing problems in time. Read more in the article Why is regular air conditioner servicing important?.
5. A clear outdoor unit
There must be no objects, leaves or snow around the outdoor unit that block the airflow. Do not cover the unit during operation.
6. Sensible use
Do not set extremely low temperatures or switch modes unnecessarily. An inverter air conditioner is under the least strain in stable operation – Inverter air conditioners: how they work and why they are better.
7. Reacting to symptoms in time
Deal with weaker cooling, unusual noises, dripping or an error code straight away. A small fault can later turn into a more expensive repair. See the article Air conditioner not cooling: the most common causes and what to do.
