When buying and/or improving your home, it is extremely useful to know the longevity of appliances and other home products. It is quite surprising how long certain home necessities last! With this information, you can determine what to put money into and what appliances are good investments for the return on value. For example, incandescent lightbulbs, on average, last anywhere from 42-83 days, while LED bulbs last 2-3 years and have energy saving benefits. Comparing flooring gives some useful knowledge as well. Linoleum flooring lasts approximately 20-25 years, wooden flooring 20-30 years, and vinyl flooring lasts the longest at 30-50 years. By comparing your personal taste to the lifespan, you can easily determine which flooring is right for you. Additionally, if you’re buying a home with older appliances or amenities, finding out how old they are might help you determine if you will need to buy new ones within a few years of moving in.
