FAQs

A: Most central AC systems last 12 to 15 years in DC. The urban heat island effect and long cooling season accelerate wear — systems without annual tune-ups often fail before the 10-year mark in Washington.

A: Not necessarily. Age alone is not the determining factor. Refrigerant type, maintenance history, and current condition matter more. We give you an honest remaining life assessment — not a replacement sales pitch.
