A timeline for when things get replaced in a home

[Anonymous]

When did you make different updates and replacements in your home? My house was built in 2003 and was a short sale with some issues so we initially put a lot of money into replacing some things. I am the type of person who saves money with an idea of what my future needs will be, so for example I know that my downstairs AC unit may be on its last legs, so I know I will have to spend a few thousand dollars on it, either next year or the year after. So I am trying to come up with what major replacements I will have to make in the years to come. I know, of course, that houses are always full of surprises, but it's nice to have an idea For example, here is the life of my house so far:

House built in 2003

10 years old- replaced upstairs AC and heat pump - 7k
10 years - Roof repairs - few hundred dollars
10 years - repainted most of house, changed kitchen appliances

15 years- probably will have to change downstairs AC - $5k (my approximation)

25 years - Roof replacement??

So what kinds of repairs, updates, and replacements have you had in your home, and at what year? Do you do any regular maintenance every month or quarter?

Here's my estimate: my house is 20 years old. I've had to

Oops...

I've had to replace all the appliances. Both HVAC fine, as is the roof. And we repainted everything in the last 5 years. Carpet going soon, but first 15 years had immaculate owners (not us!).
