How often should you replace your heating system? Numerous resources in print and online provide varying answers to this question. All these places then have different facts and guides that can help extend the lifespan of your furnace. One major tip, which is common in these resources, is by having proper and regular maintenance. There have been instances wherein the furnace needed replacement a few years short of its life expectancy because of certain issues with its main components such as the burner misfiring and burned controls. Different problems can start to manifest at any time once one or two components are damaged or stops working and no immediate solution is applied. On average, furnaces can last between 15-20 years. However, there are still a lot of heating systems that do not reach this life expectancy. The longevity of these units depends on the production quality, frequency and extent of their usage, and the exposure to a proper maintenance program.
