Furnaces & Heating
Emergency heating and air conditioning repair
No heat when temperatures drop below freezing, or no cooling in extreme heat with elderly residents, infants or health conditions in the home, is worth an urgent call. Check the breaker, thermostat, filter and outdoor vent pipes first, then call.

Kansas City's extremes are what make HVAC failures urgent. Pipes can freeze within hours in a house without heat during a subzero night, and summer heat indexes over 105 are dangerous for vulnerable people.
If you smell gas or a carbon monoxide alarm sounds, leave the house and call the gas utility or 911 first. An HVAC technician comes after the home is safe.
