What Are SpacePak AC Systems?

SpacePak air conditioning systems are high-velocity cooling systems made up of three components:

  1. Flexible ductwork
  2. An air handler
  3. A condensing unit

The 2-inch flexible ducts are pre-insulated and don’t require conspicuous or unsightly bulkheads or wall units. They can easily be fed through ceilings, floors, and walls, adapting to any home’s layout.

What Is the Lifespan of a SpacePak System?

Wondering how long a SpacePak system typically lasts? Like all air conditioning systems, it can depend on whether you regularly maintain the equipment. That can include:

  • Routinely replacing air filters.
  • Inspecting and cleaning the evaporator coil at least once a year.
  • Cleaning the condensate drain.
  • Hiring a professional HVAC company to inspect and repair any problems, including low refrigerant or duct leakage.

While the average lifespan of an AC system is 10 to 15 years, some units can last 20 or 30 years or longer, depending on usage. To learn more about SpacePak systems or to schedule a free estimate with our team, call American Vintage Home at (847) 999-4595
