Things to consider

Whether homeowners are choosing a new air conditioning unit, or heating system or simply want to get an idea of how many years they have until need a new one, Van Drunen is here to guide them. Here are a few things to know about the HVAC system’s lifetime. 

Air Conditioning

Air conditioners should be sized correctly for the home to maintain proper airflow and efficiency

Choosing the right air conditioner for the home can make an astounding difference. Air conditioners should be sized correctly for the home to maintain proper airflow and efficiency.

If it isn’t, homeowners may find themselves overrunning their AC, leading to an increased rate of degradation over time. Avoid the issue by getting it installed only by the most capable HVAC team. 

Factors

In general, an air conditioner lasts about 10 to 15 years. This is just the average, however. Several factors impact the longevity of AC, such as:

• Model: With so many brands on the market, homeowners may feel unsure of which one to choose for their next AC system. Many of the models we routinely install, such as TRANE, are built to last. Van Druene can help find something with the outstanding quality homeowners deserves.  

• Energy Efficiency: Not only is an energy-efficient AC better for the environment, but it’s also better for the wallet. Since they run more efficiently, they don’t need to consume as much energy to adequately cool the home. 

• Maintenance: An air conditioner that was well-maintained throughout its lifetime is more likely to be in better shape for a longer amount of time. 

Heating System

Heating systems typically last longer than air conditioners, with some lasting for 30 years after installation. Of course, the heating system’s lifetime depends on several factors. 

• Year Manufactured: Pay attention to when the heater was manufactured and installed. The older it is, the more likely it has seen better days. Of course, with proper maintenance, it’s possible to keep the heating unit in good shape for a while longer. Van Drunen can help homeowners determine if it needs to be replaced. 

• Care Throughout Lifetime: Heaters require maintenance every so often, especially before and after the beginning of the cool season. Taking care of the heating system extends its lifetime.

Winters tend to be long and chilly throughout Illiana, so homeowners can expect to use the heater for a minimum of four to five months out of the year, making a quality unit essential.
