To my ears it “since years” sounds like it’s missing an “ago” after it (or like the GP said “for years” sounds even more natural).
It makes me think of another similar one: I've noticed that British English speakers will say e.g. "the new iPhone will be available from September 20th"
To my ears that sounds like it's missing an “onwards” after it (or “starting September 20th” would sound even more natural).
