How long can you expect your heater to last?
A furnace can generally last 15 to 20 years with proper maintenance. The actual lifespan will depend on the quality of the heating appliance and how it is used. Gas and oil furnaces tend to last a few years longer than forced air systems with heat pumps. On average, heaters have a lifespan of 10 to 15 years.
Why is routine maintenance important?
Calling a professional in to conduct regular furnace maintenance and inspections offers four key advantages. Those to consider include:
- Being prepared for the colder months. By scheduling an inspection each fall, households can detect potential problems before the cold weather sets in.
- Discover current issues. Inspections typically reveal smaller repairs that can and should be made to prolong the life of the furnace.
- Consider if replacement is necessary. During a maintenance visit, the tech can evaluate if replacing your unit all together will be more beneficial for you.
- Test efficiency of unit. A system that heats more efficiently will keep the home warmer and more comfortable while consuming less energy.
What are the indicators that your heater needs repairs or replacement?
Determining whether to repair or replace your heating system is not always a simple decision. It is recommended to consult a professional technician when troubleshooting any furnace issues. In many cases, repairing a heating component can be a cost-effective option compared to replacement, saving money in the long run.
An inefficient furnace does not always require a full replacement. Basic actions like changing the filter, ensuring the humidifier is set correctly, or replacing the pilot light with electric ignition can immediately boost efficiency. Additionally, sealing the joints in ductwork ensures heat distribution is optimized, extending the heater’s lifespan.
The primary reason to replace a heater is age. If your heating system is approaching 15 to 20 years, it may be time to plan for a replacement. Often, heaters don’t show obvious signs of failure until they completely stop working. Some homeowners may opt to replace their existing unit with a more energy-efficient system that operates on a cheaper energy source.
