Posted Jul 24, 2007 @ 3:35 pm, Viewed by 416 Visitors, Read 422 Times.Earlier this year, the National Association of Home Builders released a study of the life expectancy of house components covering the anticipated useful lifespan of just about every imaginable product, item or material that makes up a permanent fixture in a home.
As just a small sampling of the results, here are some estimate lifespans of the following items:
Dishwashers...9 years
Electric water heaters...11 years
Air conditioners...10-15 years
Heat pumps...16 years
Wood deck planks...20-25 years
Kitchen sink faucets...15 years
Linoleum flooring...25 years
Carpet...8-10 years
Smoke detectors...<10 years
Aluminum downspouts...20 years
The results of this study could be a great home maintenance planning resource for homeowners.
