Whether you’re looking at residential or commercial HVAC equipment, the AC compressor is a crucial component of an air conditioning system that plays a vital role in cooling indoor spaces. So if you want to enjoy a comfortable temperature during hot weather, you need the AC compressor to be in good shape!
 

The Typical AC Compressor Lifespan

For split-type HVAC systems, the AC compressor is located in the outdoor unit, along with the condenser coil, and a fan to dissipate heat. The lifespan of an AC compressor can vary depending on several factors, including the quality of the compressor, the usage patterns, maintenance practices, and environmental conditions. But in general, today’s brand-name models are designed to be highly reliable.

On average, a well-maintained AC compressor can last anywhere from 10 to 15 years. Beyond that, it might be time for an upgrade.

This is the part that’s responsible for “compressing” the refrigerant and pumping it through the system for the heat exchange and cooling process. Some compressors may last even longer than 10 to 15 years, but others might fail early. Either way, all of the HVAC parts need to be working together. If one breaks down, then making a repair can help ensure that the rest of the system will continue to go strong.

If your AC compressor fails, it is often more cost-effective to replace it rather than attempting to repair it—especially if it's approaching the end of its expected lifespan.

When your air conditioning system is relatively new and the compressor is the only major issue, replacing the compressor might be a cost-effective solution. You don’t necessarily need to buy brand-new cooling equipment. Just find an affordable replacement part!
 

Replacing Your AC Compressor

The more frequently an AC system is used and the longer it runs each day, the more strain it puts on the compressor. Extremely hot and humid climates can place extra stress on the compressor too, and potentially shorten the equipment’s lifespan. But you obviously don’t want to replace anything before it’s actually necessary.

Getting the coils cleaned, changing your air filters, and making sure the system has the proper refrigerant levels can all extend the life of an AC compressor.

Regular maintenance can help keep your heating and cooling equipment in check. Along the way, it’s also important to consider the usage patterns and other factors that can potentially shorten your equipment’s lifespan—or just the AC compressor in particular.

No one wants to deal with uncomfortable indoor temps. So when the equipment’s issues go beyond what regular tune-ups can fix, remember to think about the big picture. If the rest of your AC system is in good condition and doesn't require significant repairs, replacing the compressor could be a great option. And when you shop with Surplus City, you can save money on all of the HVAC repair parts you might need to keep your equipment running smoothly!
