This Is How Long Each of Your Major Appliances Should Last

If you’re like most people, you probably don't give much thought to the age of your appliances—until something breaks, that is. Homeowners do occasionally replace a major home appliance before the end of its effective lifespan—when they're remodeling, for instance, or if they just want to upgrade to a more energy-efficient model. But most homeowners buy a new appliance when they absolutely have to, which is why knowing how much mileage you can reasonably expect to get out of your appliances can help you plan and budget for the expense. In general, most major appliances will last about 10 to 15 years, although proper use, consistent cleaning, and regular maintenance can extend that lifespan. If you're wondering how much time your appliances may have left, check out these guidelines on how long you can expect your appliances to last. Via builders feed http://www.rssmix.com/
