How long will my air conditioning system last?

With regular maintenance, most air conditioning systems will last 12 to 15 years, while some high-quality systems may last up to 20 years before an AC replacement is necessary. To get the longest service life from your AC unit, change the air filter often, keep the area around the outdoor unit free of debris, repair problems as soon as they are found, and scheduleregular AC tune-up services.

What does an AC installation include?

Our HVAC experts will evaluate your home and calculate its cooling needs based on its size, layout, number of rooms, insulation quality, occupancy, and more. Then we will prepare an estimate, and if accepted, the installation process will begin. We will remove any old equipment, install your new unit, test it thoroughly, explain the operation, and leave the work area clean.

Should I repair or replace my air conditioner?

If your air conditioning system is less than 10 years old and has only minor problems,AC repairswill likely be the best option. Once your system is over 10 years old and has frequent issues or needs a major part replaced (such as the compressor) upgrading to a newer, energy-efficientAC systemis often the smarter financial option.

Signs Your Air Conditioner May Need Replacement

One of the biggest indications that your air conditioner system needs replacement is if it’s older than 15 years. Here in Greenville, 74% of homes were built at least 10 years ago, which means your air conditioner could need replacement if it hasn’t been upgraded since the time your property was built. In addition to the age of your system, you might need AC replacement if you notice any of the following symptoms affecting your unit:

Insufficient cooling
Poor airflow and ventilation
Moisture buildup around the AC
Unusual sounds coming from your system
Strange smells coming from your vents
Unusual spikes in energy expenses

Here's a natural, detailed 5-star review you can use for a plumbing contractor who replaced a water heater and backflow valve: --- ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Absolutely Outstanding Service – Highly Recommend! I recently needed to replace both my old water heater and the backflow valve on my property, and I’m so glad I chose Preferred Home Services. From the very first call, their team was professional, responsive, and honest about pricing and timelines. They arrived on time, explained everything clearly, and walked me through the options for the new water heater (including energy-efficient models). The installation was done cleanly and efficiently — no mess left behind, and they even took away the old unit for me. The backflow valve replacement was handled with the same level of care and expertise. They made sure everything was up to code and tested both the new water heater and the backflow preventer thoroughly before leaving. The difference in hot water recovery time and overall performance is night and day. My water pressure is better, and I finally have reliable hot water again without worrying about leaks or code violations. If you need reliable, trustworthy plumbing work — especially water heater or backflow valve replacement — look no further. Jacob and Michael are the real deal. I’ll definitely be calling them for any future plumbing needs. Thank you for the excellent work! — Stephen in Summerville SC

Sage is a Mastef Plumber who identified the problem I needed help with. What I really appreciated was that he was able to explain the problems to me and what he recommended to fix them. His knowledge of the plumbing system, parts & how the repairs could make the system more efficient & last longer convinced me that it was a good inestment. Sage was knowledgeable, wasted no time, and was respectful of my home and my time. The cost was a little more than I expected, but he fixed the problem,wasted no time, and I recommend Sage and Preferred Home Services.

I've been using Preferred Home services for several years and very satisfied with the services they perform. Every technician that has serviced my heat pump systems and tankless water heater has been nothing less than friendly and professional. I'm always notified in advance of their arrival. The technicians explain their findings, provide solutions, make me aware of issues that eventually will occur through normal usage and wearing out of the system components that eventually need replacement along what they found concerning the current condition of a part or system component and potentially how much longer it may remain functional. They document and track all service work records performed so that other technicians are aware of the history of prior service and maintenance work when they come to service my systems. My experiences with Preferred and all their staffing has been great. I'm glad I found Preferred Home Services and would certainly recommend them to anyone.

While dealing with a separate issue in my home, the hot water tank replacement was the last thing that I thought would be the easiest to handle. When Matt assured me same day replacement, I was shocked! Thank you so much!

Chris was very professional and quick to respond. He gave an appropriate amount of time to address the problem versus leaving too early. He did a solid plumbing/sewer line upgrade.
