Longman dictironary of contemporary english:
from... to...
[preposition] use this to say that something starts at a particular time and stops at a later time
E.g.: from May to September/from 9 am to 5 pm etc

from ... until
also from ... till ... use this to say that something starts happening at one time or event and continues until another time or event
E.g.: I have a class Monday from five o'clock till eight o'clock at night.

since
[generally used with a perfect tense in the main clause] from a particular time or event in the past until the present, or in that period of time.
E.g.:
We've been waiting here since two o'clock
The factory has been here since the 1970s.
