It’s very important to keep well maintained the air conditioning.
There are several factors to see in order to make your equipment working for longer and most of time is not exactly the brand you have, is about how you use it and treat it.
The exterior unit can be deteriorated by dust and mowed grass. Ask your mowing company to eventually blow the unit to remove any dirt. It will take an extra minute and you will provide some extra life to it.
When leaving the house set it up a little higher because you don’t need a very cold house when nobody is there.
Try to keep the house temperature at 78 degrees because it’s the ideal effort for the equipment. It’s like a car going on cruise speed.
Make a preventive maintenance every spring: check ducts, refrigerant and any leaks pipes could have.
This will make your air conditioning equipment live longer.
