[QUOTE="swampratt, post: 3928336, member: 15054"] Life expectancy of my stuff is when it dies and I am not going to change something that is working fine. Especially today with inferior made stuff all around us. I had a fridge from 1947 that still worked and a buddy has it now and uses it for eggs. Electric furnace is just a big toaster not much has changed. That picture that was posted of the heat strips and which wire to pull looks just like the late 1970's model in my rent house next door which is still working just fine. Now I have a gas furnace in a rent house in Moore and the ignitor died. This was a 3 year old unit when it died. HVAC friend Changed it with one he had on his truck and it lasted a week. I told him it failed and he said yea that was a cheappy one. WTF why would you have that on your truck! I ordered a good one and it is running fine for now. If it ain't broke. My gas water heater has been in the house since before we bought the house in 1998. How long do gas water heaters last? Google states 8-12 years with maintenance and flushing. I do not flush mine.
