Heat Pump Repair FAQS
How long do mini split systems last?
That’s a great question! Mini-split systems, like any HVAC equipment, have a lifespan that depends on several factors. However, you can generally expect a well-maintained mini-split system to last between 15 to 20 years.
Here’s a breakdown of what influences their longevity:
- Quality of Installation: Proper installation is crucial. A poorly installed system will likely have a shorter lifespan and more frequent problems. At Southern Comfort, we emphasize meticulous installation to ensure optimal performance and longevity.
- Regular Maintenance: Just like any HVAC system, mini-splits need regular maintenance. Cleaning filters, inspecting coils, and checking refrigerant levels are essential. Consistent maintenance can significantly extend the life of your system.
- Usage and Climate: How often you use your mini-split and the climate you live in can impact its lifespan. Systems in extreme climates or those that are heavily used may experience more wear and tear.
- Quality of the Unit: Choosing a reputable brand with high-quality components is important. Higher-quality units tend to last longer and require fewer repairs.
- Environmental Factors: Outdoor units are exposed to the elements. Protecting them from excessive debris, direct sunlight, and harsh weather conditions can contribute to a longer lifespan.
What Southern Comfort Recommends:
- Annual Professional Maintenance: Regular check-ups by our technicians can help identify and address potential problems before they become major issues.
- Air Filter Maintenance: Consistently cleaning or replacing your air filters will keep your system running efficiently.
- Proper Usage: Avoid extreme temperature settings and allow the system to cycle naturally.
