Average life expectancy on most central AC units is about 15 years. If it keeps leaking freon, replace it and the lines going to the heat exchanger. Also, be sure the heat exchanger is not the problem (the part inside the house with the furnace that feed air into the ducts). You may be able to get a few more years out of it by repairing it now, depending on what's wrong.
