How Long Do Ducted Heaters Last

A ducted heater is going to be a considerable investment for your home. A worthwhile investment, but it certainly isn't going to be cheap. As a result, one of the questions popping up in our head will be 'how long will a ducted heater last?'. Well, that is what we are going to take a look at on this page.

How long do ducted heaters last?

It is going to be dependent on several factors and we will take a look at those in a short while. However, assuming that you keep up with your ducted heater maintenance, then you can expect to get at least 10-years out of your ducted heater. Although, most are going to last somewhere in the 15 to 20-year range, particularly if you pick up a newer model.

Let's look at how you can increase the lifespan of your ducted heater.

1. Purchase a quality unit

Honestly, how long your ducted heater lasts will be hinged on the heater that you buy in the first place. If you buy a cheap heating unit and it is installed by somebody with less-than-stellar experience, then do not expect your ducted heater to last all that long. Sometimes, it is better to spend a little bit more cash on a quality unit and decent installation. Your heater will last longer, which means you can save a lot more cash in the long term.

2. Regular Ducted Heater Maintenance

You should be calling in a team to carry out a ducted heater service at least once per year. Ideally, you would have it done shortly before the colder months start to roll in. They will be able to clean your heater, check for any damage that needs to be repaired, and just generally check that everything is going smoothly with your heater.

Do not skip a year. Honestly. Some people have had their ducted heater installation last for just a couple of years before it needs to be replaced. This is how important it is to have the service carried out. Of course, the last thing you want is for your heater to not break down in the midst of a cold front.

Ducted Heater Repair

If you notice any issues with your ducted heater, no matter how minor, then call Heating Experts to check it out. We will be able to do any repairs that are required. Remember; if you leave small issues unchecked, then they will very quickly become big issues. These will become costlier to fix and, in some cases, the only way to fix them is to replace the whole heating unit. This is the last thing you want to do.
