Appliance Lifespans
How Long Do Appliances Last & What Are the Costs to Replace Them?
Below are the typical lifespans and costs of appliances and other key home components. (We've listed our sources at the end, if you're interested.)
Costs include professional installation, FYI. And your cost could vary depending on whether you buy top-of-the-line, find a bargain, or DIY the installation.
