Q: Should I repair or replace my furnace?

The decision to repair or replace depends on factors like age, cost, and efficiency. As a general rule, if your furnace is under 10-15 years old, repair is often the most cost-effective option. However, for units over 15-20 years old, or if a repair costs more than 50% of the price of a new unit, replacement is often a better financial decision due to diminishing efficiency and potential for more frequent breakdowns.

For reliable furnace repair in the St. Louis area, you should call a licensed and certified HVAC company like Meyer Heating and Air. Our NATE-certified technicians have the specialized training and tools to safely and effectively diagnose and repair all types of furnace issues, ensuring your system runs efficiently and safely.

Q: Does home insurance cover furnace repair?

Home insurance typically does NOT cover furnace repairs resulting from normal wear and tear, lack of maintenance, or old age. However, it may cover repairs if the damage is caused by a sudden, accidental event like a fire, lightning strike, or a covered peril. It is crucial to check your specific home insurance policy and contact your provider to confirm your coverage.

Q: How long does it take to repair a furnace?

The time required for a furnace repair varies depending on the issue. Many common repairs can be completed within 1 to 4 hours once our technician has diagnosed the problem. More complex issues may take longer, especially if a specific part needs to be ordered. Our goal is to complete repairs efficiently and effectively to minimize your discomfort.

Q: What are common furnace repair issues?

Common furnace problems our technicians address include no or insufficient heat, strange noises (banging, squealing), frequent cycling, constant blower operation, and pilot light or ignition issues. A yellow pilot light, in particular, indicates incomplete combustion and a potential carbon monoxide leak, which requires immediate professional attention.

Signs Your Furnace Needs Repairs

Don’t wait for your furnace to completely break down. Recognizing these common warning signs can help you address issues early, preventing more costly repairs and ensuring uninterrupted warmth for your St. Louis home:

No Heat or Insufficient Heat: If your furnace is blowing cold air, or simply not heating your home to the desired temperature, it’s a clear sign something is wrong.
Strange Noises: Listen for banging, rattling, squealing, grinding, or popping sounds. These often indicate loose parts, a failing motor, or other mechanical issues.
Unusual Odors: While a slight burning dust smell is normal when first turning on the furnace, persistent odors like burning plastic, sulfur (rotten eggs – a sign of a gas leak, requiring immediate evacuation and gas company contact), or a lingering musty smell indicate a problem.
Frequent Cycling (Short Cycling): If your furnace turns on and off too frequently in short bursts, it’s working inefficiently and putting undue stress on components.
Rising Energy Bills: A sudden or gradual increase in your heating costs, without a change in usage or outside temperature, suggests your furnace is losing efficiency and struggling to heat.
Yellow Pilot Light: For furnaces with a pilot light, it should always be blue. A yellow or flickering pilot light indicates incomplete combustion, which can produce dangerous carbon monoxide.

If you observe any of these signs, contact Meyer Heating and Air promptly. Our St. Louis technicians can diagnose the problem and provide a reliable solution.

Should I repair or replace my furnace?

Deciding when to repair or replace your furnace will depend on a variety of factors, including age, repair costs, and furnace efficiency. Generally, if your furnace is under 10-15 years old, repair is often the most cost-effective choice. However, for units over 15-20 years old, or if the repair cost is more than 50% of the cost of a new unit, replacement usually makes more financial sense due to diminishing efficiency and the potential for more frequent, costly breakdowns.
