WHAT IS THE AVERAGE LIFE EXPECTANCY ON EQUIPMENT?
Most systems vary between 10 to 20 years. As the equipment ages, its efficiency can decrease dramatically, so you can either keep repairing it or replace it with a newer system that might have more energy-efficient equipment.
WILL A BIGGER SIZED SYSTEM PERFORM BETTER?
No, though you may have the “bigger the better” mentality, having an air conditioner that is actually too big for your property is not beneficial. It will, indeed, heat up your home faster, however, it will use more energy and not remove humidity adequately.
