Appliance Lifespan – What Homebuyers Need To Know
If you are considering purchasing a home, it is smart to find out the age of the different appliances and systems that come with the property. The first step is to make a list of the appliances that come with the home and the date purchased. Then compare that to the list below:
Appliance | Average Lifespan |
Refrigerator | 13 years |
Dishwasher | 9 years |
Gas Range | 15 years |
Electric Range | 13 years |
Washing Machine | 10 years |
Dryer | 13 years |
Air Conditioner (room) | 10 years |
Central Air Conditioner | 15 years |
Freezer | 11 years |
Garbage Disposal | 12 years |
Microwave Oven | 9 years |
Water Heater Electric | 11 years |
Water Heater Gas | 10 years |
Tankless Water Heater | 20+ years |
These lifespans are just an estimate, of course. The true lifespan will vary by model, manufacturer, and how well the appliances have been maintained.
