This is a tricky question, however common equipment such as plugs and switches have a life expectancy of about 20 years. If these devices are in high usage areas, the life expectancy will be reduced. Always be on the lookout for plugs that will not hold a cord in the socket tightly. This doesn't take into account devices such as smoke detectors which should be changed every ten years.
Circuit breakers should be cycled (turned off and on) at least once a year to ensure proper function and longevity. This practice helps maintain the integrity of the internal lubricant used in the breaker's mechanical components. If breakers are not cycled regularly, the lubricant can harden over time, which may cause the breaker to fail to reset when tripped. In such cases, the only remedy is often complete replacement, which can be both costly and inconvenient. To avoid unplanned downtime and expensive repairs, incorporate breaker cycling into your annual maintenance schedule.
