How Long Do Air Handling Units and Rooftop Units Live?

Service Life of Air Handling Units:

The service life of an air handling unit is generally around 10-20 years. Its service life is affected by many factors, such as the quality of the equipment, the use of the environment, maintenance and so on. If the equipment is of good quality, reasonably installed, used in a suitable environment, and regularly maintained, the service life of the air handling unit can reach 20 years or even longer. However, if the quality of the equipment is poor, the use of poor environment, maintenance is not in place, the service life of the air-handling unit may be shortened.

Factors affecting the service life of air handling units are mainly in the following aspects: firstly, the quality of equipment is the key factor. High-quality air handling units use high-quality materials and advanced manufacturing processes, with better durability and reliability. Secondly, the use of the environment has a great impact on the life of the equipment. If the air handling unit is installed in a humid, corrosive and dusty environment, the equipment will be easily damaged and its service life will be shortened. Further, maintenance is an important means to extend the life of the equipment. Regular cleaning, inspection and maintenance of the air handling unit can find and solve problems in time, keep the equipment in good operating condition and extend its service life. In addition, it is also important to use the equipment reasonably. Avoid overloading the equipment for a long time, and operate it correctly according to the equipment manual, which can reduce the wear and tear and damage of the equipment and prolong its service life.

Service Life of Roofing Unit:

Rooftop units typically have a service life of about 10-15 years. Similar to air handling units, the service life of a rooftop unit is affected by the quality of the equipment, the environment in which it is used, and maintenance. If the equipment is of good quality, installed in a suitable environment, and regularly maintained, the service life of a rooftop unit can be 15 years or more. On the contrary, if the quality of the equipment is poor, the usage environment is bad, and the maintenance is not in place, the service life of the roofing machine may be shortened.

Factors affecting the service life of a roofer include the following: First, the quality of the equipment is an important factor in determining service life. High-quality roof machines are made of corrosion-resistant, high-temperature-resistant and ageing-resistant materials and have better performance and reliability. Secondly, the installation environment has a great impact on the life of the roof machine. Rooftop machines are installed on the roof and are easily affected by natural factors such as sunlight, rain, wind and sand. If the installation location is improper, such as direct sunlight, obstructed wind outlet, etc., it will affect the heat dissipation and ventilation of the equipment and reduce the equipment life. Further, maintenance is the key to extending the life of the rooftop unit. Regular cleaning, inspection and maintenance of rooftop machines can identify and solve problems in time and keep the equipment in good operating condition. In addition, it is also important to use the equipment reasonably. Avoid overloading the roofing machine for a long time, and adjust the operating parameters according to the actual demand, which can reduce the wear and damage of the equipment and prolong the service life.
