You should expect to get at least another 5 years or so from the unit. And, when it fails, it really won't be a costly emergency replacement. In The Villages, there are several reputable HVAC contractors who can replace your entire system within a few days. And, I really don't think you can save very much money, if any, by replacing the system before it fails.
