It isn’t cheap to replace your heating and cooling system, so you want to ensure your unit lasts as long as possible. Typically an HVAC system lasts about 15 to 25 years. You can make sure it reaches the 25-year mark by having it serviced regularly. This is why Cascade Energy Services offers summer mini-split heat pump tune-up and preventive maintenance near Mercer Island.
Things That Can Damage Your Mini Split Unit
The lifespan of your HVAC system depends on how you treat it. If there is almost no maintenance, it will break down sooner, and you will need to replace the system. Regular inspections catch minor problems and things like defective components. One of the main reasons HVAC systems burn out early is being the wrong size for the home. Here are some other things that can impact your mini-split heat pump systems:
- Very high usage – often from a unit that is too small
- Improperly installed – never a problem with CES
- Corrosive conditions – salty areas
- Using it the wrong way – running it with windows and doors open
Invest in a Preventative Maintenance Plan
Cascade Energy Services offers routine maintenance plans that provide preventative care. This can keep your mini-split system operating for well over 15 years. When you have your unit check every six months, small problems get caught early. This means they get taken care of before they become serious.

I highly recommend Bill from Cascade Energy Services. He did what other HVAC companies in the area weren't able to do. Instead of trying to sell me into buying a new HVAC unit (which is what I initially contacted him for), he found me a replacement part for my existing high-end Trane furnace, ordered it on my behalf for local pickup just down the road from my house. This saved me $$ by not having to replace my entire furnace. I had paid another HVAC company to come out and try to find the replacement part but they couldn't do it. Bill did it over phone / email and didn't charge me anything. I simply paid for the part (at wholesale cost) that he ordered, and once I plugged in the new part (pressure switch), my furnace was up and running like normal. I'd trust Bill on the any HVAC matters. He is very knowledgeable and cares about doing the right thing for the customer. I now have a trusted go-to source for future heating and cooling needs!
