Heating and AC help in Independence
Independence is a mix of early-1900s homes near the historic square, a large stock of postwar ranches and split-levels from the 1950s through the 1970s, and newer subdivisions in the Little Blue Valley. Many homes are on their second or third furnace and air conditioner.

Independence homes and their heating and cooling
Postwar ranches usually have a basement or crawlspace furnace with short duct runs, which makes replacement straightforward. Homes from the 1970s often still have original undersized returns and flex duct in crawlspaces that has sagged or separated over time.
Independence Power & Light
Unlike most of the Missouri side, Independence has its own electric utility. Rebate programs and time-of-use options differ from Evergy's, so check current programs before replacing an air conditioner or heat pump.
Crawlspace ductwork
Split-levels and ranches over crawlspaces lose conditioned air through disconnected or crushed flex duct. Sealing and reconnecting it is often the fix for weak rooms and high bills.
Aging 1990s equipment
Many furnaces and ACs installed during the 1990s are now past their service life, and some still use R-22 refrigerant.
