Heat or AC out right now?

Call (573) 693-8863Deciding whether this is an emergency
Most companies won't tell you this, because every after hours call is billable. We'd rather you knew.
Not sure which side you're on? Call anyway and describe it. If it can safely wait until morning, we'll say so rather than charge you an after hours rate for it.

Somebody has to be the one who picks up
Around the Lake of the Ozarks and Jefferson City, plenty of heating and cooling companies only take calls during business hours. That's a reasonable way to run a company, and it works fine right up until a furnace quits on a Friday night in January with a house full of people.
24 Hour Heating and Cooling exists to cover exactly that gap. It's the actual service, which is why the number is on every page of this site and why it's worth saving in your phone before you need it.

None of this replaces a technician, but it prevents a bad night from turning into a worse one.
If it's making a noise it shouldn't, smells wrong, or keeps tripping the breaker, turn it off at the thermostat and leave the breaker off. Running a failing compressor or a cracked heat exchanger makes the repair bigger and, in the second case, dangerous.
With no heat, shut doors to rooms nobody is in and gather everyone into one space. It's far easier to hold temperature in a small area, especially in a lake house with high ceilings.
Below freezing with no heat, open cabinet doors under sinks on exterior walls and let a faucet drip.
A breaker that trips repeatedly is doing its job. Resetting it over and over puts the whole circuit through the fault again each time.

What we can fix after hours, and what has to wait
Being honest about this up front saves everybody a wasted trip.
Capacitors, contactors, igniters, flame sensors, thermostats, blown fuses, clogged condensate drains, blower motor issues. Common failure parts ride on the truck.
Control boards, inducer motors and some brand specific components. We'll get you running temporarily where it's safe to do so, then finish once suppliers open.
Compressor replacement, full system swaps and major refrigerant work. We'll make the house as safe and comfortable as possible, then schedule the real fix.

Brenton answered the phone when I called and came and diagnosed the problem the same day. He was not the original installer but still worked with the supplier to get the part covered saving us over a thousand dollars. His communication and professionalism are outstanding.
He’s incredibly knowledgeable, responds quickly, and always gets the job done right. He’s friendly, professional, communicates exceptionally well, and is always quick to address any heating or AC issues.
This guy is very professional! I recommend him to anybody! He show up on time and rock it out in one day! Very dependable and friendly person.
