The average life expectancy of a furnace is 10 to as long as 20 years. However, because of the rough economy we all faced in 2007 and the following years, most furnaces installed at that time were considered “builder’s model” furnaces, and really maxed out at 10 to 12 years. We’re seeing many homes at this age range and with these types of furnaces and you should pay to the following warning signs. Start shopping for a replacement before you have an emergency, so that you can make a calm and informed decision. Having a pilot light on your furnace is a good indicator that your furnace is at least 20 years old.
