Central Air Conditioners: These typically last 12-15 years. Proper maintenance, like regular cleaning and timely repairs, can extend their life. However, even with meticulous care, after about 15 years, it might be more cost-effective to replace an old unit with a more energy-efficient one.
Furnaces: Furnaces, whether they're gas or electric, usually have a life expectancy of 15-20 years. Like with air conditioners, regular maintenance can help prolong their lifespan.
Heat Pumps: They have a similar lifespan to air conditioners, usually around 10-15 years. Because they work both as heaters and air conditioners, they undergo more wear and tear, especially in regions with extreme seasonal changes.
Boilers: These can last anywhere from 15-30 years, depending on the type and quality. Regular check-ups and maintenance are crucial for prolonging their life.
Ductless Mini-Splits: These systems typically last 10-15 years, although some can last up to 20 years with proper care
