How Long Does The Average Heater Last?

Important information to have when considering replacement is the lifespan of your average heater unit. Both knowing if you should replace your current system and knowing how long you should expect from a new system can save you unnecessary costs. On average, a residential heater will last between 15-20 years.

Higher Frequency Of Repairs

Every heater will need at least a few repairs over the course of its lifetime. This is entirely normal. However, if you notice the amount you have to pay for repairs is increasing in frequency, you might want to ask a professional about replacement.

A system that’s frequently breaking down will reach a point of diminishing returns. At that point, it will make more financial sense to replace the entire system rather than continue to repair it.

Higher Than Normal Utility Bills

Sometimes, the signs of a failing heater can be subtle and only detected via secondary sources, like your utility bill. If you’re noticing a higher-than-normal energy bill during the winter, it could be a sign of faults in your heating system. Higher energy bills could be a sign that you need a simple repair — or it could indicate you need a heater replacement.

Strange Noises

Strange noises, like banging or clanging, can be a sign of a malfunctioning system. Your heater contains several moving parts – like fans and blower motors – that, when failing, can cause odd noises. Also, the constant heating and cooling of the entire system causes the metal materials to expand and contract. This could also lead to faults that cause noise in places that don’t have moving parts.

Inconsistent Heating

Whatever type of heater is servicing your home, it should be able to adequately heat the entire space. If your heater is failing to fully heat your entire home, it could be a sign of an overall declining system and indicate a need for replacement. Cold spots, cool air from the vents and a temperamental thermostat are all signs that you need heater services.

Age

As mentioned above, the average lifespan of a furnace is 15-20 years. This is the average. It’s possible to get even more use out of your unit. However, if the age of your system is causing any of the issues mentioned above, it’s time to consider finding a quality furnace replacement company.
