Life Expectancy for Florida Homes

Schedule an Inspection
​The following data details the predicted life expectancy of appliances, products, materials, systems and components for homes in the State of Florida. Items that are regularly exposed to the elements, including saltwater, wind, sun and heat, are particularly vulnerable to premature failure compared to items installed in homes located elsewhere.  

All data below was gathered and distributed by InterNACHI & FABI, industry leaders in home inspector training and development. Homebuyers should note that these life expectancies have been determined through research and testing based on regular recommended maintenance and conditions of normal wear and tear, and not extreme weather (or other) conditions, neglect, over-use or abuse.  Therefore, they should be used as guidelines only, and not relied upon as guarantees or warranties.
