Variable-speed systems with inverter compressors often last on the higher end of that range because they run at lower speeds most of the time, reducing mechanical stress and component wear.

KIC Refrigeration offers annual maintenance plans for Cresaptown customers that include coil cleaning, refrigerant pressure verification, electrical connection tightening, and capacitor testing to maximize your equipment lifespan.
