Average Lifespan
You can expect your commercial HVAC system to last for anywhere from 15-20 years or maybe a little longer. Some HVAC units last for upwards of 25 years, although they do lose efficiency over time. But you can keep your system operating for its intended lifespan with proper care and maintenance. We’re also highlighting some of the factors that can impact lifespan so you know what to expect from your particular system.
System Type and Sizing
Your commercial location may have a heat pump or a separate commercial heating and air conditioning system. Heat pumps work harder and require more care since they operate around the clock all year long for both heating and cooling. A commercial HVAC company will analyze the size of the setup compared to the overall space of your location.
A smaller unit won’t be able to keep up with heating and cooling needs. A setup that is too large for the space will turn on and off so often that it will take on too much strain. An HVAC unit that is sized properly will meet your heating and cooling needs efficiently and effectively.
Installation Impact
The way that your HVAC system gets installed can have a huge impact on how long it can last. Proper installation takes time and patience. When done correctly, installation can boost efficiency and help your commercial HVAC enjoy a longer lifespan.
However, errors made during installation can leave your commercial space lacking. Your unit may not work as well and the extra strain due to installation problems can shorten the expected lifespan. When it’s time to upgrade your existing system, make sure you partner with a team like ours that does quality work and commits to getting the job done right the first time.
Regular Maintenance
You can take steps of your own to care for your HVAC system. Examples include changing out air filters and ensuring that the area around both indoor and outdoor HVAC units is free from debris and clutter. You can also schedule professional maintenance with our team at 1-2 times a year.
We can help identify the early signs of problems and fix them or make adjustments to keep the system working well. This can prevent total breakdowns that interrupt business operations. Plus, your unit can last for much longer because you take care of it little by little all along.
