My wife and I are on our third fridge in 35 years. But the furnace in her mom's house when we sold it 5 years ago had been running since the late 1970s.

Except furnaces functionally shut off when not actively making heat. A fridge potentially is only off for power outages or a cleaning

Don't fridges do the same thing? Once it gets the interior to the set temperature, the compressor turns off until the sensors say it needs more cold.

You are right, I totally forgot about that haha

30 years is a long life for a furnace. This thing was 45-50 and still running fine. The last maintenance note on the sheet on the inside was in the 80s lol.
