Look up the model number and serial number on the unit. There is a small chance that it still may be under warranty. It's a 7 year furnace and sometimes they have 10 year warranty plans. Warranty work doesn't pay a lot so sometimes contractors avoid filing claims.
As for the hot water tank, make sure it's been properly registered to the manufacturer as well and do whatever maintenance may be required.
If your are the stage where your appliances are going as well, stay away from the fancy/expensive stuff. They never last! For washer/dryers I love Huebsch/ Speedqueen. They are commercial grade, old school washers that last. If and when they break, they are 100% repairable. Literally designed to last 25+ years.
