The typical lifespan of an HVAC system is 15 to 20 years when properly maintained. However, it's important to note that individual components may require replacement earlier. Factors such as usage patterns and local climate conditions can influence the overall longevity of the system.

Professional maintenance should be scheduled biannually. It's recommended to have your system serviced in spring before the cooling season begins, and again in fall prior to the heating season. This regular preventative care ensures optimal system efficiency and helps prevent unexpected, costly emergency repairs.

For standard 1-3 inch filters, replacement is typically necessary every 30 to 90 days. This frequency can vary based on factors such as pet ownership, allergies, and system usage. Homes with pets or allergy sufferers may need more frequent filter changes. High-efficiency filters can last 6 to 12 months, but it's always best to consult the manufacturer's specific recommendations.

Indicators that your HVAC system may need replacement include: age exceeding 15 years, recurring costly repairs, increasing energy bills, inconsistent heating or cooling, unusual noises, use of outdated R-22 refrigerant, excessive dust or humidity problems, short-cycling, and persistent comfort issues despite repairs. When multiple issues occur simultaneously, system replacement is often more cost-effective than continued repairs.
