We're a family owned and operated in the greater St. Louis area since 1976 with licensed HVAC plus plumbing and electrical all in-house. Give us a call at (636) 431-9832 or schedule online and we'll get someone out there in no time.
Signs Your Furnace Needs Repair
Not every problem with your furnace is readily apparent so here’s a few things to keep an eye out for:
- Your furnace is running but not heating
- The unit shuts on and off without actually warming the home
- You hear banging or grinding when the unit kicks on
- There’s a yellow burner flame instead of a steady blue one
- The thermostat doesn’t respond
- Rise in your gas or electric bill with no sound explanation
- Rooms that never reach the set point no matter what
- The blower runs constantly and doesn’t shut off
If you smell gas then immediately leave the home and call Spire's emergency line or 911 while you're outside.

Chesterfield, MO Emergency Furnace Repair
We answer the phone 24/7 so you can always reach a person and Easy Maintenance Club members get priority emergency response when availability is limited. If you're not a member yet it's worth asking about when you call. Before calling always check your air filter and confirm the thermostat is set to heat and the breaker hasn't tripped. We get plenty of no heat calls that come down to one of those three. Otherwise reach out to us and we'll take it from there.
Furnace Repair Vs. Replacement in Chesterfield, MO
We don’t want to sell you a furnace you don’t actually need but also won’t pretend a repair will do the trick if it is just going to break down again later on. When the repair gets close to or exceeds half the cost of a new system on an older unit you’re paying more money for something that won’t last much longer.
Likewise a cracked heat exchanger isn’t a judgement call but a real safety issue. Combustion gasses need to be contained or it gets into the air you breathe. Once it gets compromised that unit has to go. When you call us we’ll diagnose the problem and give you the numbers for repair as well as the furnace installation number to let you decide next steps.
Chesterfield Furnace Repair Cost
There's no flat rate for furnace repair in Chesterfield, MO because it depends on several factors:
- The part needing replaced and its availability
- Whether it’s a gas or electric furnace
- If the unit is still under warranty
- Ease of access to the equipment (labor hours)
- Scheduled visits or emergency dispatch
Diagnostics on a repair are counted as a service call whereas estimates on new installations are always free. If the repair turns into a replacement we offer flexible financing options and seasonal specials.

- Full diagnostic on the unit
- An explanation of what failed and why
- Itemized repair pricing in plain language
