How long does it take to change a new one? Japanese factory revealed that it will eliminate life, and the most cost-effective purchase will be made in two months

In the cool summer, air conditioners have become an indispensable household appliance for modern families. However, even if the air cooler that has been used for more than 10 years is normal on the surface, it may have already developed aging inside. In order to avoid sudden failures that bring inconvenience in life and even health risks, Japan's refrigeration factory exposed the cost of air refrigeration machines, the cost of replacement and cleaning and the time.

How long does the air cooler last?

According to the design standards of major brands, the "standard service life" of the refrigerator is usually set to 10 years. For example, DAIKIN, a major Japanese refrigerator manufacturer, ordered the design service life of the home appliance model to 10 years. This period represents a "safe and stable operation period" and is not a free warranty period. The survey of Dajin's questionnaire also shows that most people will change the air conditioner for 7 to 10 years, followed by 10 to 13 years. If air conditioning is often used in summer and winter, its life may be shortened. It is recommended to start paying attention to the cold conditions after use for about 10 years.

According to the "March 2025 Consumer Movement Survey" of Neigumi, Japan, the average service life of household refrigerators is 14.2 years, making it one of the longest-used products of all household appliances. The most common reason for the replacement is still "failure".

Alarms for air refrigeration failure

In order to avoid air refrigeration during key times, the following fault signs should be paid attention to in daily life:

‧The cooling and heating have become cold and unheated, which may be caused by refrigerant leaks

‧The outdoor machine has an unusual sound, which comes from the fan or compressor failure

‧The drainage pipe is blocked and caused by leakage due to circuit aging or internal faults

It is recommended to check and clean the filter network before use. The dust accumulation can affect performance and may also cause misjudgment failures.

When the cooling air is approaching or exceeding the life of 10 years, the replacement should be considered. The cost varies depending on the size of the space and functions. For example, additional functions such as loading energy or air cleansing may be higher.

The cooling and cooling cleaning fee is not cheap, and the price is about 2,500 yuan to 4,000 yuan per unit. The cooling and cooling prices vary according to different factors, such as: off-peak seasons, air cooling models, cleaning difficulty, engineering consumption, etc.

Best purchase time: Avoid the hot summer season

The failure of the air-cooling machine often occurs during peak summer seasons, but this is also the busiest time for installation. Waiting time is long, and not being able to blow the air during heat may lead to health risks such as heatstroke. It is recommended to eliminate the replacement machine from late winter to spring, which can not only avoid the summer shopping trend, but also successfully schedule and install. In addition, the annual cooling prices fluctuated significantly, with prices falling from August to September; the models changed from October to November, and the old models were cheap.
