How Long Does a Heater Last?

A properly installed and well maintained heater can be expected to last anywhere from 15 to 20 years before needing a replacement. It's important to service the heater with annual maintenance and necessary repairs to make sure the heater will last it's full expected life expectancy. There are very rare instances where a heater can last 30, even 40 years before it needed to be replaced. It's important to keep in mind that the older a heater gets the less efficient it becomes and the more expensive it becomes to run it.

When Is It Time to Replace Your Heater?

If your heater still operates, you may be wondering when to replace it. The goal is to replace it prior to a complete system failure that leaves you without proper heat in the winter. Fortunately, there are a few warning signs that can help signal it’s time to consider a replacement.

These warning signs include:

• Your heater needs repairs more and more frequently and they’re becoming more and more expensive
• Your energy bill suddenly increased and continues to do so without any increased usage
• Your heater emits foul or unusual odors
• You are unable to obtain a consistent temperature throughout your property
• Your heater makes considerable noise when it operates
• Your heater frequently cycles on and off
