I called on December 25th at midnight and started leaving a message and Thomas Hoffman the owner called me back almost immediately. He said he would come out the next morning between 8:00 and 10:00 am snd he was promptly on time. He fixed my problem and while he was there I decided to get an estimate for a new furnace and air conditioning unit. The price was very reasonable and the installers one of them being his son were both very professional very courteous, polite, arrived on time and finished the same day. I enjoy knowing that I now have the support of Thomas Hoffman heating and air conditioning along with the peace of mind that comes with owning a Trane. Nothing stops a Trane.

My ac compressor was replaced.

1. Know the Signs It’s Time to Replace Your Furnace
Before you invest in repairs, look out for these telltale signs that it’s time for a replacement:
- Your furnace is 15+ years old
- Frequent repairs or rising maintenance costs
- Uneven heating or cold spots in your home
- Higher-than-usual energy bills
- Strange noises or smells coming from your system
💡 Pro Tip: If your repair bill is more than 50% the cost of a new furnace, replacement is usually the better investment.
2. Choose the Right Furnace for Your Home
Every home is different, and so are its heating needs. When selecting a new furnace, we consider:
- Home size and layout
- Fuel type (gas, electric, or hybrid)
- Energy efficiency (AFUE rating)
- Your budget and long-term goals
Our expert technicians will help you determine the best furnace model based on your comfort needs and energy savings goals.
3. Understand the Costs — and Savings
The cost of a new furnace installation in the St. Louis area typically ranges from $3,500 to $7,500, depending on system size and complexity. But don’t let that number scare you — newer systems are far more efficient and can lower your utility bills by 20–40%.
Plus, Thomas Hoffmann Air Conditioning & Heating offers:
- Financing options
- Manufacturer rebates
- Utility incentives (where applicable)
We’ll walk you through all available programs to make your investment as affordable as possible.

When you hire our licensed, local team, here’s what installation looks like:
- Arrival & System Removal – We safely disconnect and remove your old furnace.
- New Furnace Setup – We install and configure your new system for optimal performance.
- Ductwork & Electrical Check – We inspect for airflow and safety.
- Startup & Testing – We run a full system test and walk you through the features.
Most furnace installations take 1 day or less, and we leave your home clean and warm.
5. Protect Your Investment With a Maintenance Plan
