AC Expiry Date: Air conditioner (AC) has become an essential part of our life during the summer season. But have you ever thought that AC also has a “expiry date”? That is, a time comes when the functionality of AC decreases or has to be changed. Let’s know the age of AC, care and when it should be changed.
What is the average age of AC?
A good quality AC works well for about 10 to 15 years. However, it depends on how much it is being used, how many times it is given to him and how is his care. The age of AC can be increased by regular maintenance.
How to identify AC’s expiry date?
Cold reduction: If AC is not cooling as earlier, then it may indicate that its capacity is decreasing.
Unusual sounds: Old AC may bring strange sounds from motor or compressor.
More power consumption: Old ACs eat more electricity and electricity bill also starts coming more.
Repeated spoils: If repeated repairing is required, then it is a sign that it will be better to get a new AC now.
When should AC change?
If your AC is more than 10 years old and is showing the symptoms mentioned above, then now the time has come that you consider buying a new AC. Nowadays inverter technology and energy efficient AC are available in the market which spend less power and are durable for a long time.
There is no official “expiry date” of AC, but his functionality and condition decides how many years he will last. If you want your AC to work well for a long time, then do regular servicing and upgrade it when needed.
