How Long Does a Furnace Last?

Heating is one of the most important features of a home, so knowing how long furnaces last is important. A furnace’s lifespan depends on a lot of things, such as its unique features, how long it’s been around, and how well it’s been maintained. If you live in an older home, chances are your furnace is past its prime if it hasn’t been replaced in a while.

In general, a furnace will last 15 to 20 years. With excellent maintenance, it might even last longer than that. If you neglect it or skip routine maintenance, however, it may not even last beyond its warranty expiration date.

Remember: keeping your furnace clean, maintained, and serviced will prolong its lifespan and save you a ton of money in the long run.

Signs You're Due for a Heater Replacement

Most people don’t know if their heating system needs fixing or replacing. What’s certain is that the worst time to be debating this question is on a cold winter night. To help you find out, below are some signs that your heater needs replacing.

1. Unusually High Energy Bills

If your electric or gas bills have suddenly gone up, it might be because of an inefficient heating system. The fact is, HVAC systems and furnaces lose efficiency as they age. In other words, in order to reach the desired temperature, your heater will have to run longer, resulting in higher energy costs.

Installing a high-efficiency system will keep your house warm and save you money in the long run. With a newer, more energy-efficient unit, your utilities will go down.

2. Odd Noises

Squealing, rattling, and banging noises can occur as heating systems age. Ideally, they should run quietly. If you hear strange noises coming from your system, this may indicate a problem with the bearings, motor, or blower assembly. Sometimes the noise is compressor related. If you hear noises from your heater, you need to get it checked pronto! If fixing or replacing the problematic part doesn’t work, the best solution may be to have the whole system replaced.

3. Short Cycling

Short-cycling is when your furnace shuts down before heating the room to the temperature set on the thermostat. This issue prevents your home from heating up comfortably. It can be caused by a number of things, including a clogged flue or a dirty air filter. Whatever the reason, short cycling will increase wear on your system if left unaddressed.

4. Thermostat Needs Constant Adjusting

If you find yourself needing to adjust the thermostat too often to be comfortable, there may be something wrong. Indeed, it may be a sign that your system is on its last leg.

5. You've Gone Through Multiple Repairs

It’s normal to have to repair a heater. However, if you’ve had to replace too many components in a short time, then there’s definitely an issue.
Generally, heater repairs are fairly simple for older systems. However, finding replacement parts can be difficult, making an upgrade more sensible.

At some point, it simply doesn’t make sense to waste time and money on endless replacement parts. If this is the case, get your system replaced instead.
