        "text": "You should consider replacing components in an old house when repairs are no longer cost-effective, the component poses a safety risk, or its efficiency is severely lacking. For instance, an ancient furnace with frequent breakdowns might be better replaced with a modern, efficient unit. Similarly, lead pipes or knob-and-tube wiring often warrant full replacement for safety and code compliance. We can help assess the long-term value and safety implications of repair versus replacement options for your specific situation.",
