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.

“Not the cheapest, but definitely the best service available.”
“Had to get a new hvac unit for my house. Talk with many companies went with you guys bc Ryan said my intake to the unit was to small 12×18 and they would open it up so wouldn’t put too much strain on the unit. Installation was great the guys that put the unit on awesome. I went to look at the intake and the hole is still 12 x 18. I voiced my concern with Ryan last week and I have not received any information back(complete darkness no call or text). Really worried bc Ryan said with the intake being that small it’s not up to code and put extra strain on the unit.”
“First time Hamstra customer. A mini-split was installed and the entire process from the quote to the install was flawless. Everybody from Hamstra was excellent to work with. The install team of Alejandro, Andrew, John, and Frankie were fantastic. They explained what they were going to do, answered all of my questions, were extremely polite, and did a great job cleaning up. I am very happy with my decision to purchase from Hamstra.”
“I called first thing in the morning after my system fan would not turn on. I was afraid to run A/C because of that. James had a tech here within a couple of hours even though this is a very busy time of year. Hector was here and did a thorough check and then a regular maintenance because no repair was needed. He answered all my questions and was extremely polite and friendly. All the Hamstra employees I have met or spoken to have been truly excellent. I think Hamstra has cornered the market on the best employees! Thank you one and all!”
“I feel I can trust and depend on Hamstra to do the job right.”
“Brian did an excellent job of servicing our Trane unit and replaced both the start and run capacitors”
“After 15+ years, we decided it might be a good idea to replace our heating and cooling unit. We were scheduled with Big John. He is a very personable and professional salesman. He presented us with 3 quotes and was very through in explaining all of the differences. We just had our final walk through and Big John helped me get the app and set up our new thermostat and gave me great tips. I highly recommend scheduling with Big John and Hamstra.”
