Furnace Replacement St. Louis

Repair vs. Replace

Should You Repair or Replace Your Furnace?

A straight answer based on your system’s age, the repair cost, and its efficiency. A general guideline: if your furnace is over 15 years old and a repair exceeds $800–1,000, replacement usually makes more financial sense — today’s high-efficiency units can significantly reduce your monthly gas bill.

Repair makes sense when:

• Furnace is under 15 years old
• Repair cost is under $800
• No history of recurring repairs
• System running efficiently otherwise
• Heat exchanger is intact

Replacement makes sense when:

• Furnace is 15–20+ years old
• Repair cost exceeds $1,000
• Recurring repairs in recent seasons
• High gas bills despite normal use
• Cracked or suspect heat exchanger

Heating & Cooling in One System

Heat Pump Repair & Installation

Heat pumps provide efficient heating and cooling from a single system — transferring heat rather than generating it, which can significantly reduce energy costs compared to a traditional furnace and AC combination. We repair, maintain, and install heat pumps for St. Louis homeowners looking for a more energy-efficient option. Not sure if a heat pump is the right fit for your home? We’ll assess your situation honestly — including whether St. Louis winters affect performance — and help you make an informed decision.

Radiant Heating

Boiler Service & Repair

We service and repair boiler systems for St. Louis homes. Boilers provide reliable radiant heat — quieter and often more even than forced-air systems — but they require specialized expertise when problems arise. Our technicians have the hands-on experience to diagnose and repair all common boiler issues, including pressure problems, circulation failures, pilot issues, and zone control malfunctions. Call (314) 471-7625 to schedule boiler service.

Common Questions

Heating Questions, Answered Honestly

How quickly can you respond to a heating emergency?

We answer emergency calls 24/7, including weekends and holidays. Call (314) 471-7625 and you’ll reach us directly — not an answering service. We dispatch as quickly as possible and treat heating failures as the emergencies they are in winter.

Why is my furnace blowing cold air?

The most common causes are a failed igniter, a dirty flame sensor, a tripped limit switch, or a gas supply issue. Some are straightforward fixes — others point to a more serious problem like a cracked heat exchanger. Call us and we’ll diagnose it accurately on the first visit.

Do you service all furnace brands?

Yes. We repair and maintain all major brands — Trane, Carrier, Lennox, American Standard, Rheem, Goodman, York, Amana, and more. As an authorized Trane dealer, we also offer new Trane furnace installations with full manufacturer warranty support.

How long does a furnace installation take?

Most residential furnace installations are completed in a single day. We’ll give you a clear timeframe before we start, keep the work area clean, and make sure your system is running and calibrated before we leave. You won’t spend a night without heat.

Should I repair or replace my furnace?

A useful rule: if your furnace is over 15 years old and the repair costs more than $800–1,000, replacement usually makes more financial sense — especially when today’s high-efficiency units can noticeably reduce your monthly gas bill. We’ll show you the numbers, no pressure either way.

What areas do you serve?

We serve the greater St. Louis metro area including Chesterfield, Ballwin, Kirkwood, Webster Groves, Creve Coeur, Manchester, Maryland Heights, Des Peres, and surrounding communities.

What’s included in a furnace tune-up?

Our standard furnace tune-up includes a heat exchanger inspection, burner cleaning, igniter and flame sensor check, flue and venting inspection, filter check, thermostat calibration, electrical connection tightening, and a full system performance test. We’ll flag anything that needs attention before it becomes a breakdown.

Is a heat pump better than a furnace for St. Louis winters?

It depends. Heat pumps are highly efficient in moderate cold but can struggle in extended sub-freezing temperatures without a backup system. For St. Louis winters, a dual-fuel system — heat pump paired with a gas furnace backup — often gives you the best of both. We’ll help you evaluate the right option for your home and budget.
