We’ve created a professional HVAC equipment life expectancy calculator. The application provides comprehensive calculations for determining the remaining useful life of various HVAC equipment types.

Calculator Features

The calculator includes:

Equipment Types Supported:

• Air Conditioners (15-20 years base life)
• Heat Pumps (15-20 years base life)
• Furnaces (15-25 years base life)
• Boilers (20-30 years base life)
• Ductless Mini-Splits (12-15 years base life)
• Packaged Units (10-15 years base life)
• Chillers (20-30 years base life)
• Cooling Towers (15-25 years base life)
• Air Handlers (15-20 years base life)
• Ventilation Systems (10-15 years base life)

Calculation Parameters:

• Usage Intensity: Light (+20%), Moderate (baseline), Heavy (-15%), Very Heavy (-30%)
• Maintenance Quality: Poor (-25%), Fair (-10%), Good (+5%), Excellent (+15%)
• Climate Conditions: Mild (+10%), Moderate (baseline), Harsh (-10%), Extreme (-20%)
• Installation Quality: Poor (-20%), Fair (-5%), Good (+5%), Excellent (+10%)
• Current Equipment Age: User input field

How It Works

The calculator applies research-based multipliers to base equipment lifespans. The algorithm considers multiple factors that significantly impact HVAC equipment longevity, including operational stress, environmental conditions, and maintenance practices.

The application calculates:

1. Adjusted total lifespan based on all factors
2. Remaining useful life (total life minus current age)
3. Detailed explanations of each factor’s impact
4. Professional maintenance recommendations
