Home furnaces are a complete system that includes the blower, burners, filter, and ductwork, among other things. There are four main types of furnaces depending on the fuel they use – natural gas, oil, electric, and propane. The fuel is spent to warm up air that is then transported through the home’s air ducts. Furnaces also include filters that remove dust and other particles from the air before they reach the house to ensure good indoor air quality.

“With regular maintenance,” says Steve Ireland, the owner of Ireland HVAC, “your furnace’s life can be at least 15 to 20 years. By performing annual inspections and promptly repairing any potential problems, you can extend its lifespan even further.

Several factors determine the lifespan of a home furnace system. The size of the furnace is a big factor as those that are not equipped to heat larger homes push more air throughout their life and are likely to wear out sooner. Moreover, furnaces that cycle more quickly become more prone to wear out their parts. So, it is advised to seek the guidance of an experienced professional when determining the size of the furnace that a home needs.

Faulty installation is another way in which a furnace’s lifespan can be diminished. If the ductwork is too small, too big, or sealed, it can inadequately limit airflow. Other problems include a poor drainage system for extremely energy-efficient furnaces and incorrectly installed fuel lines. Finally, setting the thermostat between 60°F and 80°F can also cause it to wear out quicker.

“Regardless of whether it is a mismatch of furnace capacity and home size or a faulty installation,” says Steve, “you can rely on Ireland HVAC to spot these issues and offer solutions that fit your budget.
