Is 15 Years Old for a Furnace?

It is hard to say how long a furnace will last because it depends greatly on how the furnace is cared for. For the average home, homeowners can count on their furnace lasting between 15-20 years before it needs to be replaced. That is a big gap and there are several factors that play a role in how long a furnace will last.
– Risk Tolerance: How willing are you to wait until the furnace is at risk of dying before you replace it? There are some homeowners that would prefer to replace an aging furnace so that they aren’t at risk of ever going without heat while waiting for a new furnace to be installed.
– Energy Bills & Repairs: When your furnace gets older, it can start to cost a lot of money in energy consumption and constant repairs. The older your furnace is, the more likely it is to have issues that can be quite costly.
– Indoor Comfort Level: Your comfort will start to be affected when your furnace gets older. You might start to notice hot and cold spots in your home as your furnace gets less and less efficient. You have to start considering a furnace replacement when this happens.
– Maintenance: If you are maintaining your furnace properly, it can help extend the life of your furnace by a long shot. Regular maintenance will ensure that your furnace is cleaned yearly and small repairs are made to help your furnace run as efficiently as possible. This can have a big impact on how long your furnace lasts.
