HVAC systems are durable if maintained properly. They can last from 12 to 20 year. A few units that I have maintained are now approaching 30 years. However, this is rare. Here are some things you should know about replacing an air conditioner, or heater.
What does SEER actually mean?
The Seasonal Energy Efficiency Rating (SEER), measures an air conditioner's efficiency. Units with higher numbers use less power. A HVAC system's SEER will be affected if it is correctly installed and the right amount of air conditioning. SEER roughly equates to the vehicle's claimed fuel economy. For some conditions, 30 MPH may be possible. However, this is not possible during rush hour.
What does HSPF actually mean?
Similar to SEER HSPF stands to Heating Seasonal Product Factor. It is an efficiency rating for furnaces and heaters that shows how efficient they can be. The more efficient a system is, the higher the score. HSPF is a ratio between the BTU (British Thermal Units), heat production and the watt hours of electricity consumed.

The HVAC maintenance guide is available for more information.
