My experience with "lifetime warranty" on heat exchangers is - it's often worthless. Just like many other warranties are. Worked on three oil hot-air furnaces recently, all under 10 years old and all with holes burnt through the heat-exchanger. Lifetime warranty on them all, none honored. Company says - warranty only good if - first you pay for a new heat exchanger, then have an authorized tech. guy install it, then . . . pay him of course - then pay to ship the old/bad exchanger back to factory - and then their own experts will decide if they should honor the warranty. If they decide the furnace wasn't serviced enough, or properly - by their own criteria, NO warranty. So, in an oil furnace, if you have it serviced every year, and sometime in the interim, the el-cheapo fiber liner in the chamber falls apart, they'll say it wasn't serviced enough. And, even if they do honor it - by the time you've paid for all the service work you could of almost paid for a brand new, complete furnace.
