Most air conditioners last anywhere between 15 and 20 years, so if yours is newer than that and is not working properly, a qualified technician can possibly repair it.

Some problems are not worth fixing. For example, it is very expensive to replace an evaporator, so it makes more sense to replace the entire unit. Companies that repair and replace air conditioners can do all of the work for you if it needs to be replaced, including disposing of the old air conditioner.

Replacing your air conditioner may have other benefits. A newer unit will be more efficient and save money on utility costs. You may also get new features like the ability to control the air conditioner from your phone.
