Heat & Air

LIFE EXPECTANCY

Some average life expectancies (in years) for Heating & Cooling components are as follows:

• Oil/gas forced air furnace 15-20 years

• Oil Tank 35-40

• Cast-iron boiler 30-50

• Steel boiler 15-30

• Circulating pump 10-20

• Heat pump 8-15

• Central air 10-20

• Window A/C 10-25

Note: These are averages and should only be used as a guide when making decisions. Better quality equipment will usually outlast the "Contractor Installed" models.
