[quote=Anonymous]Don't replace anything until it fails - except maybe the hot water heater, because 12 years is about its lifespan. In our old house, the furnace was 40 years old and still going strong. The heat pump was newer, and when it failed, we just replaced the part that failed. We are planning to replace our current water heater within the next year but that is because it doesn't get hot enough for showers unless we manually turn the heat up and is nearing the end of its life anyway (10 years). We only replace kitchen appliances if they fail and it would cost several hundred to repair them. We found a great appliance repair guy who has been honest about repair or replace. If your mattress is sagging/making your back hurt, replace it now - sales should start any day now. This is the best sale of the year for mattresses.[/quote]
