Heating and cooling help on the Kansas side
On the Kansas side, Tallgrass Heating & Air connects homeowners in Johnson and Wyandotte counties with independent, licensed HVAC contractors. Johnson County is mostly post-1960 suburbs with basements and two-story homes; Kansas City, Kansas, has older housing closer to the river.
Housing stock
Prairie Village, Mission and north Overland Park were built in the late 1940s through the 1960s as ranch and split-level homes with basement furnaces. South Overland Park, Olathe, Lenexa and Shawnee grew from the 1980s on with two-story homes, attic ductwork and larger systems. Kansas City, Kansas, has a mix of early-1900s homes and postwar neighborhoods.
Utilities
Evergy supplies electricity to most of Johnson County, while the Board of Public Utilities (BPU) serves Kansas City, Kansas. Kansas Gas Service supplies natural gas to most Kansas-side homes.
Permits and licensing
Johnson County cities use a shared contractor licensing program run by Johnson County, and each city issues its own mechanical permits. Kansas City, Kansas, and Wyandotte County license and permit through the Unified Government.
Climate
The Kansas side shares the metro's hot, humid summers and cold, windy winters. Hail storms in spring can damage condenser fins and coils.
