When it comes to the appliances in your house you want to be sure that you take good care of them. As a homeowner you have to be prepared to replace things that are small such as an outlet cover all the way to large appliances. You want to do all that you can to allow the larger appliances like your refrigerator, dishwasher and HVAC unit from going out before they were intended. That means of course that you want to make sure that they are cared for, repaired and replaced when necessary. This will ensure that the money that you spent on these larger items you are getting the most out of them. It is also a good idea to know how long each is expected to last and what you can do to extend the life of that particular piece. Steve’s Heating and Air outlines how long HVAC components should last.
What is the Average Life Expectancy of a Furnace?
One of the parts of your HVAC unit is what you use to heat the home. This is a huge part of the HVAC system and is used through the entire cold winter months and can be used in the beginning of the spring as well as the end of the fall seasons. You want to make sure you have a home that is warm enough to be comfortable. That is where the furnace comes into play. The furnace uses electricity or gas to heat the air that is then pushed through the house. The great thing is that a furnace can last for up to 30 years. This is a huge amount of time that you can depend on an appliance. The problem is that if you are not caring for it the furnace will go out and need replaced much sooner. Professional maintenance will keep the furnace running it’s best and it will also keep it efficient as well.
How Long Should an Air Conditioner Last?
The other part of your HVAC unit that you will be using is the air conditioner. This is the best way to keep your home cooled down in the summer months when it is hot and humid outside. The AC unit will have a set time that the unit should be able to run. The majority of units are meant to last from 10-15 years. Although this is the timeline that is common, they can last even longer when they are repaired when needed and maintained regularly. You want to make sure that professional tune ups are done and parts are replaced as necessary as well as homeowner maintenance such as changing out filters. This is well worth the time that the unit can last before it needs to be replaced.
