Tempe Air Conditioning Replacement. How My AC Lasts Longer

Because air conditioners are used more in Arizona, they last 10 to 14 years on average, which is lower than the national average.

If you want your air conditioner to survive as long as possible, your local Tempe air conditioning replacement provider can provide you with the best advice for extending the life of your AC system.

 

 

Make an appointment with a specialist for annual maintenance.

There's a reason this is our first recommendation. The best approach to extend the life of your air conditioner is to schedule annual maintenance with a licensed expert.

Professional maintenance improves the efficiency of your air conditioner. Your air conditioner will last longer if it performs efficiently.

When a component of your air conditioning system fails, the entire system must work harder to compensate, diminishing its overall efficiency. This decreased efficiency will eventually lead to more worn-out parts. In the end, the wear and tear on your system reduce its lifespan.

A professional will thoroughly clean and inspect your AC system during a maintenance visit (sometimes known as a "check-up"). If any problems or malfunctioning parts are discovered, the expert will recommend repairs to keep your air conditioner healthy and running properly.

 

 

Air filters should be cleaned and replaced regularly.

To function correctly, your air conditioner needs a constant flow of air. When your air filters are clogged, less airflow enters your air conditioner, making it more challenging to work efficiently.

As we noted before, the harder your air conditioner must work to accomplish its job, the more wear and tear it will suffer.

We suggest that you check your air filter once a month and replace it if it is unclean (like the one shown in the image below). Clean air filters will help your air conditioner function more efficiently and last longer.

All supply and return vents should be open.

 

Many people believe that covering vents in empty rooms will save them money on electricity, but this is a myth. Closing supply or return vents can harm your AC system, raise your energy bills, and shorten its lifespan.

Because blocking too many vents increase ductwork pressure, components in your air conditioner (such as the blower fan) may work extra to chill your home. When your air conditioner is overworked, parts are more prone to fail, reducing its lifespan.

We recommend opening all vents to avoid costly repairs and system failure, even in rooms you don't use.

 

Make sure the temperature isn't too low.

Some people believe that turning the thermostat down to the lowest setting during the summer will help the air conditioner chill the house faster.

Unfortunately, turning the thermostat down will merely make the air conditioner run longer, increasing your energy consumption and costs.

To avoid these problems, set the temperature on your thermostat to the temperature you desire in your house. Set the thermostat to 74° F instead of 68° F if you want your house to be at 74° F. Setting the temperature below 74° will waste energy and make your air conditioner work harder for no reason.
