Traditional AC
Central air conditioning is a conventional and widely used cooling solution for residential homes and commercial spaces. These systems consist of a central unit connected to a network of ducts that distribute cooled air throughout the building.Â
With proper maintenance, central AC systems typically last around 15 to 20 years. Energy efficiency can vary with this system, with newer models being more environmentally friendly.Â
Common repairs may include issues with ducts, coils, and compressors, as well as clogged drain lines or refrigerant leaks. When replacement is necessary, upgrading to a more energy-efficient model is a common consideration.
Ductless Mini-Splits
Ductless air conditioning, also called mini-split systems, has gained popularity for its simple, space-saving design, quieter functioning, and room versatility for zoned temperature control. These systems comprise an outdoor condenser unit and one or more indoor air-handling units, eliminating the need for ductwork.Â
Ductless AC units can last up to 20 years with proper care. They are highly energy-efficient, as each indoor unit can be individually controlled and uses less electricity with variable speed compressors that continuously adjust to keep the home at a consistent temperature. Ductless systems are ideal for room additions and older homes. Common repairs may involve issues with the compressor, sensor, refrigerant levels, or air handlers. Replacement may be considered for older units or upgrading to more advanced models.

Geothermal Cooling
Geothermal air conditioning allows for more environmentally friendly and cost-effective heating and cooling by utilizing the Earth’s stable temperature to cool or heat a home. These systems circulate fluid through underground pipes, transferring heat to or from the ground. Geothermal systems are known for their durability and have an impressively long life span of 20 to 25 years for the inside components and up to 50 years for the ground loop.Â
While less common than traditional systems, geothermal AC is growing in popularity, especially in regions with favorable geological conditions. Geothermal systems are ideal for those prioritizing sustainability and long-term cost savings. Generally, these systems require less maintenance, but repairs may involve issues with the ground loop, heat pump, or fluid circulation. Replacement for aging components or newer models with improved features and efficiency may be considered.
