Signs Your Gas Furnace Needs Replaced
If you need gas furnace replacement in Chesterfield, MO know that signs aren’t always readily apparent. Things to look out for include:
- The furnace is over 20 years old
- The heat exchanger is cracked (critical)
- You pay for repairs every winter
- Parts for the unit are hard to find
- Your bills keep going up every winter
- Rooms never seem to get warm
- The unit short cycles on and off
- You’re already replacing an AC unit
While many of these can be fixed with gas furnace repair services multiple symptoms on an older unit will prompt us to quote you on a replacement. Note that a cracked heat exchanger is one exception because it is a major safety hazard and repair is no longer an option.
Benefits of a New Gas Furnace Replacement in Chesterfield, MO
Getting a new gas furnace installation isn’t just about restoring your heat. Benefits also include:
- Higher efficiency that can save you money on utility bills
- Steadier temperatures that sustain over time
- Quieter blowers that can help with humidity
- Properly sized equipment for more efficiency
- Manufacturer warranty coverage
- Better filtration and airflow
- Comfort and peace of mind
When you install a new gas furnace unit and opt for yearly furnace maintenance you’re setting yourself up for more comfortable winters and less likelihood of an emergency.
When To Repair Vs. Replace
The most common answer to this is whether the repair is near half the cost of replacing the unit. We’ll always cite you on both if the unit is over 15 years old because that means you’re paying more money for something you’ll have to do eventually anyways. A $200 replacement igniter is a sound repair but a blower and control board on a 22 year old unit is not.
A cracked heat exchanger is a major safety concern and we will have to remove the unit. Other than that we’ll hand you both numbers and let you make the decision on your own. Note that diagnostics on a repair count as a service call but a quote on installation is always free.

Gas Furnace Installation FAQs
How long does a gas furnace replacement take?
Usually one day. Venting conversions and gas line work can add time.
What size gas furnace do I need?
That comes from a load calculation on your home, not from matching whatever the old unit was rated at. We handle that during your free estimate.
Should I replace my AC at the same time?
Not necessarily but the indoor coil sits on top of the furnace, so if the AC is also aging it costs less to do both at once than twice.
Will a high efficiency furnace lower my gas bill?
Yes though how much depends on the house. Going to a 90% or higher unit also changes the venting and drainage, which we'll go over in the estimate.
Do I need a permit?
Yes and we pull it for homes inside Chesterfield city limits as part of the job.
