#1:
Know an air conditioner’s life span.
Heating and cooling systems generally have a lifespan of 10 to 20 years. After
a decade, it will start showing signs of its age and may need repair services
more than it used to. If you have a unit that is more than a decade old and
you’ve already started spending money on expensive repairs, there will be a
time where you will have to determine if it is more cost effective to replace
the whole machine.
#2:
Know the importance of energy efficiency.
Systems today are the more energy efficient than ever, and that means that you
will be saving money on utility costs each year. Our team at Specialty Heating
and Cooling is well-versed in what each air
conditioning model has to offer and will explain which ones are

#3:
Know what it takes to maintain the system.
Knowing what it takes to upkeep the life of the air conditioner is key. Annual
preventative maintenance is an important part of making sure the
system is running at peak efficiency. During these appointments, the unit will
be cleaned, and an energy efficiency check will be run to determine if there
are any issues or things to be adjusted. Regular maintenance ensures that you
get the longest lifespan out of your air conditioning investment.
