Answer: How Long Does an HVAC System Typically Last?
A well-maintained gas furnace typically lasts 15 to 20 years, while boilers can last 15 to 25 years with proper maintenance. Standard tank water heaters last 8 to 12 years, and tankless water heaters last 15 to 20 years. Heat pumps generally last 10 to 15 years. These lifespans depend heavily on maintenance, usage, water quality, and installation quality. Annual professional service significantly extends equipment life. If your system is approaching or past these age ranges and requires a major repair, replacement is often more cost-effective than continued repairs.
Safety Reminder
If you smell gas, suspect carbon monoxide or believe there is an immediate danger, leave the property and contact emergency services or the appropriate gas emergency authority. Do not remain inside — exit the building immediately and call for help from outside.
