Service life

Years in service. The band runs from the shortest to the longest life the sources state, so it shows how much they disagree, not how long 80% of units last. The line is the median of the stated lives.

Basis

• 20 years · Amherstburg: Tangible Capital Assets Policy, Appendix A: TCA Categories, Life Years, and Thresholds, p8 · “Arena - Air Conditioner, Brine Chillers, Compressors, Dehumidifiers” (accounting life)
  Capital asset policy (amortization period). Approved on text check: the label and value were found on the cited page. Both rows give one life for several arena items, compressors among them.
• 25 years · Orillia: 4.1.8.1 Tangible Capital Assets Policy Manual, p19 · “Arena - Condenser/refrigeration, compressor, HVAC, heating units” (accounting life)
  Capital asset policy (amortization period). Approved on text check: the label and value were found on the cited page.
• 20 years · General depreciation rates (IR265), July 2021, p52 · REFR “Compressors (for refrigeration, 15kw and above)” — Inland Revenue (Te Tari Taake), New Zealand (accounting life)
  Printed page 52. Refrigeration compressors 15 kW and above (ice plant compressors are in this class). Refrigeration category. Printed DV 10%, SL 7%. Tax depreciation lives set by the Commissioner of Inland Revenue for New Zealand income tax, not engineering or asset-management lives; they are banded and often short (e.g. reticulation piping 25 years). The July 2021 edition was the newest PDF reachable; the online Depreciation Rate Finder may hold later determinations.
