There are situations where a fuel pump has lasted for well over 250,000 miles. That is the result of the car owner being sensible about maintenance and fueling. It is a rule of thumb that a car owner does have control over the extended life of an automobile.
The most common type of pump is what's known as air-to-air, which draws hot or cold air across refrigerant lines to either absorb or release heat. In summer, warm air thus pumps out of your home, and in winter the process reverses. Properly maintained, a heat pump system can last between 20 and 25 years. Heat pumps come with expensive upfront costs, but can potentially cut your longterm energy costs. (Photo by Summer Galyan)
