HVAC system life cycles
Boilers can last anywhere from 15 to 35 years depending on the type.
Climate control technology has advanced considerably over the years. We sure have gotten really far over the years when it comes to developing technology that makes our lives more comfortable and convenient! In recent years, HVAC systems have taken leaps and bounds in terms of their continuously increasing technological advancements and energy efficiency. HVAC systems are also getting more and more long-lived if properly taken care of. If you’ve ever wondered how long different types of HVAC systems are expected to last, here are a few examples. Window air conditioning units tend to be the shortest lived, but that doesn’t mean that they won’t last for a pretty decent amount of time if they are well taken care of. That being said, window air conditioners will typically last a decade if well-maintained. If you have a typical residential whole home unit instead, you’re looking at about a decade and a half of service on average. Some people have pushed it past this by babying their system over the years, but you’re definitely not going to break two decades without serious issues developing. Heating systems can be even longer lived. Boilers can last anywhere from 15 to 35 years depending on the type. Furnaces may last long enough to become an “adult” at 18 years. And radiant heating systems such as radiant heated floors can last for two decades. But of course, none of these years can be guaranteed without some serious tender love and care given to your HVAC system. That of course requires the help of an HVAC professional, so get in touch with one today!
