System info:
15 year old Trane gas furnace
blew the motherboard on the furnace
We've since had two HVAC people out to service the furnace
and fix the motherboard problems.


My 34 year old furnace (lennox g8-120-1, manufactured October 1976) is
still working fine. *It was original with the house. *I really haven't
done any maintainence on it in the 10 years I've owned it.

It doesn't have a motherboard, or electronic ignition, or electronic
motor, or any ****ING electronic sensors.

Just thought I'd say that.

Enjoy your POS furnace. *You and everyone else that has a motherboard in
their furnace.


Rant all you want, but you can't put a 34 (or 54) year-old furnace in
a house that was built in 1995. So unless you have something
constructive to add, I don't really want to hear about your furnace.

And for the record: in my last house we replaced the furnace when it
was 54 years old only because we couldn't get the parts to repair it.
At the time, the air conditioner unit on it was the same age as me
(40), and we only replaced that because it was cheaper than waiting
for it to go up and having to pay for two separate installations.
