Heat pump/airconditioner combinations have a life expectancy of around 10 years. I have lived in the Villages for 16 years and three months ago I had my third AC installed. Someone said in an earlier post that compressors are usually the problem, this is true but his statement that compressors aren"t expensive is not exactly true. My last one cost $1200.
