Life span of an electric furnace ?

[Steve Reilly]

I lnow electric furnaces last longer than gas burning appliances with fewer parts to burn out, but what is the expected life span of an electric furnace?

[Kary Krismer]

Wouldn't it be the life of the house? The heating element(s) and motor can easily be replaced. I'm not sure what else would wear out. There is no heat exchanger.

[Eric Barker]

Life span is dependent upon the supply of replacement parts.

20-30 yrs. is what is reported as average, but we all know better right?
