Choosing the right HVAC system is a significant decision for your St. Louis property's long-term comfort and efficiency. Whether you're installing a system in a new construction or replacing an aging unit, our expert team provides professional HVAC Installation and HVAC Replacement services.
Deciding whether to repair or replace can be challenging.

Frequently Asked Questions About HVAC in St. Louis, MO
We understand you may have questions about your HVAC system and our services. Here are answers to some common inquiries from St. Louis residents:
How much does HVAC repair cost in St. Louis?
The cost of HVAC repair varies greatly depending on the specific issue, the type of system, and the parts needed. Minor repairs can be relatively inexpensive, while major component replacements will cost more. We provide an assessment after diagnosing the problem.
What is the $5000 rule for HVAC repair vs. replacement?
The $5000 rule is a guideline suggesting you consider replacing your HVAC system if the estimated cost of the repair multiplied by the age of the system in years exceeds $5,000. For example, if a repair costs $500 and the system is 12 years old (500 x 12 = 6000), it might be more cost-effective to replace it. This rule helps frame the decision but should be considered alongside other factors like the system's overall condition and efficiency.
How much does a new HVAC system cost in St. Louis?
The cost of a new HVAC system installation depends on several factors, including the type and size of the system, the complexity of the installation, and the efficiency rating of the equipment chosen. Higher efficiency units often have a higher upfront cost but can lead to significant energy savings over time.
What are the most common HVAC problems in St. Louis?
In St. Louis, common issues include problems related to temperature and humidity extremes. This often means dealing with AC refrigerant leaks, clogged condensate drains (due to high humidity), airflow issues from dirty filters or ducts, and thermostat malfunctions. In winter, furnace problems like ignition issues or clogged burners are frequent.
How often should I get HVAC maintenance in St. Louis?
Most manufacturers recommend getting professional HVAC maintenance twice a year – typically in the spring before the cooling season and in the fall before the heating season. This ensures both your air conditioner and heating system are prepared for peak demand during St. Louis's hottest and coldest months. Our Maintenance Plan includes two visits annually.
Who should I call if my AC isn't working in St. Louis?
If your AC isn't working, you should call a qualified local HVAC contractor like Hely Heating and Air Conditioning. Our technicians specialize in diagnosing and repairing air conditioning issues to restore comfort quickly.
