A 13 year-old furnace on it's "last leg" ???

Are you kidding?

Is the lifetime of furnaces declining since the 1970's?

I guess I'll keep my perfectly-good-and-working furnace (circa 1976) a
little longer then.

And what does a standing pilot have to do with it? Could it be that
you, like all those employed in the hvac field, strongly desire all
home owners to move to more-expensive-to-repair furnaces that will
garantee you a more steady service income?

From a home-owner POV, a standing pilot light is far more reliable and
has a lower total ownership cost vs electronic ignition.

What's wrong little man, are you pissed because you were too dumb to
change your filter and you let someone charge you 100.00 dollars to do
it? Dumbass!

For what it's worth, no ass-wipe tech has ever been called to look at
my 1976 furnace in the 8 years I've owned it (nor my AC unit, which is
probably circa 1986).

I know you don't want to hear shit like that, because it just means
less $$$ for you.

Now go back and twidle your thumbs waiting for your next service call.

Hi,
Knocking on the wood? Your furnace may fail on the coldest day of this
winter and your a/c on the hottest day of the summer next year.
Keep your fingers crossed, LOL! Ever heard of preventive maintenance?
Ounce of prevention or pound of remedy? Common sense rules!

Hi,
One thing, standing pilot burns gas all the time. No matter how small
amount it may be. Ever thought about conservation/environment? I guess
you are still driving '70's gas guzzling/polluting carburated automobile
too then?
