Question:
How long the home central air conditioner [alternate
name -Central Cooling System by Consumer Reports] last? It seems I am
replacing the system after every seven years. According to Consumer Reports
the system should last about 15 years. [page 36 Consumer Reports June 1998].
What I am doing wrong? At the beginning of every summer season, the system
is checked by an mechanic.
Answer:
Depends on where you live and how much you use it. 15-20 years is
normal in the north where it may run 60 days a year. Doubling the days
per year would probably knock five years off that.
