How Long Will My Air Conditioner Last?
An air conditioner that is properly maintained can last for approximately 15 years. Once your air conditioner is older than this, it will become less efficient and it may make more sense to opt for a replacement—you’ll recoup the cost in savings on your energy expenses.
Your air conditioner is more likely to reach its complete service life when you schedule routine maintenance. Otherwise, your system will likely experience more frequent breakdowns that develop into more severe and costly issues, which can shorten its life expectancy.
Take care of your air conditioning equipment to get the most out of it and enjoy many years of its successful operation.
How Can I Lower My Energy Bills?
The best way to reduce energy use and expenses is by upgrading your equipment to the most energy-efficient system within your budget. The less energy the system needs to use to keep you cool, the more money you save!
When selecting a new air conditioning system, pay special attention to the Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio (SEER) rating. SEER measures the efficiency of air conditioning systems. A higher SEER rating indicates a more efficient system.
As of January 2023, SEER2 is the new standard, so opt for 14 or higher for air conditioning systems here in Arizona and throughout the Southwest.
How Much Money Can a New Air Conditioner Save You?
Our SEER2 (Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio) energy savings calculator can help determine how much you could save on your utility bills. Simply enter your current unit’s SEER value and compare it to a newer, more efficient SEER2 unit. You can even customize it to better match your home’s system for a more accurate calculation.

“My service technician was friendly knowledgeable and efficient. As always he was in time and helpful.”
“Technician was friendly and professional. Great service”
“Maintenance found a need for repair. Had to replace the coolant and coils. Coolant must be similar to a liquid form of gold. The job needed to be done and was partially covered by warranty. Hamstra kept me completely aware of the problem and solution with photos and explanations.”
“We had another company come out that gave us an estimate that included repairs that didn’t need to be done. Word of mouth I called and boy oh boy the got the job. They brought us portable ACs for the house that helped. 4 days without AC sucks don’t know how the people can be without. Excellent price too. I would HIGHLY recommend giving them a call at 520 561 4398 ask for Mike 👍🐻👎🏽”
“It's hard to know where to start: returning to a warm home on the evening of July 3, we realized our AC wasn't working. Called Hamstra 7am on July 4 to leave a message, when courteous voice asked "How can I help?" I learned a repair technician would arrive in a few hours and soon our AC was operational. The culprit was a "fried mother board." The estimate to repair our 14 YO unit was provided in a few working days with pros and cons of repair vs replacement discussed; we decided it was time for a new HVAC unit. Options were explained in detail, cost of different models was presented, payment plans described and our decision made. Marco and Frankie expertly installed the new unit on July 15. Hamstra service has always been extraordinary!”
“Our AC unit had failed and we lost cooling for a week. Shane came over the same day and identified our issue which was a combination of a major leak and outdated equipment. He was very knowledgeable and gave us advice of what to do, what could happen, future issues, and what not to waste our money on. Not wanting to buy the replacement part and risk a future problem, we decided to replace our entire unit and equipment. We had just bought our home a few months ago and wanted to start fresh with a new reliable and efficient unit. Lary was our salesperson, who also came the same day. He was great and very informative. He guided us through the whole process, answered all my questions, compared everything, helped us decide what was right for us, made everything understandable, and did not push us. Michael, David, and Alejandro installed our unit and we were very satisfied by their work and how approachable they were. They took care of everything and worked really hard in scorching temperatures. It was over 100 degrees outside and the attic was 130 degrees, so we appreciate them working very hard to help us get our AC back. Hamstra is one of the best HVAC companies I've ever worked with. It was so easy to get in contact with them, especially after hours, and the experience was unlike anything else. They were quick and swift with getting us the help we needed. The staff, sales, and technicians were informative, knowledgeable, nice, and great people with excellent work ethic.”
