How Old Is My Air Conditioner?

An air conditioner will give you about 10 to 15 years of service, on average. So one of the first things you will want to do is determine the age of your current cooling system and whether it is near the end of its useful life. If you bought the system yourself, you shouldn’t have too hard a time figuring out its age, especially if you’re the organized type and you filed or scanned the original receipt.

However, in a case where the air conditioner was already in place before you bought your house, you’ll have to do a bit of detective work. If you are lucky, you will easily find the info you need on the metal nameplate that is attached to the A/C’s outdoor condenser unit, where the manufacture date is often written out as the month and year.
