Default When to replace heating and cooling system?

I did check past listings with the most recent being 2014.
We have a gas furnace and electric air conditioning.
Trane......new construction 2004....original install by Munn's.....maintained annual inspections by Munns since new.

Just had the outdoor fan unit replaced as it stopped working....replaced by Munn's $400.

Life expectancy of HVAC is 10-14 years depending who you talk to or personal experience.

I usually replace major equipment before they fail......not prematurely....but when time is on my side.

There are stories around of units going to 20 years or more.....usually in the minority.

Have you replaced yours?
Who did you use?
Product and how you decided?
Size of your home?
How much if you are inclined to share that?

Our home is 3000 square feet......faces N/S....current system is a Trane XR 12 and has served us very well these past 14 years.

Any and all advice is appreciated.
