Top 7 HVAC companies in Kansas City, Missouri
Seven Kansas City contractors ranked by Bayesian-adjusted rating from public data. Low review counts keep every score close to the national mean.

All seven firms show perfect or near-perfect raw scores yet rest on very small review totals, so adjusted ratings cluster tightly around 4.76–4.83. Local licensing is city-level only and rebates require registered allies.
Kansas City sits in a heating-leaning mixed-humid climate that produces two distinct service peaks each year. Public listing data yield a shortlist of seven firms whose raw star ratings sit at or near 5.0. Because none has accumulated enough reviews to stand alone, Bayesian adjustment pulls every score toward the national mean of 4.764. The resulting spread is narrow. All addresses cluster inside or beside the 64111 zip code except one. No firm lists a website.
The shortlist
Companies are ranked by a Bayesian-adjusted rating: a company's star rating is pulled toward the national mean until it has enough reviews to stand on its own, so a 5.0 from four customers does not outrank a 4.9 from two hundred. Small tie-breakers apply for a public website, for being listed as an HVAC specialist rather than a general contractor, and for published 24/7 availability. This is a shortlist built from public listing data, not a review of work performed.
Emergency Duct Cleaning
Emergency Duct Cleaning tops the list after its raw 5.0 from 10 reviews adjusted downward to 4.823. The firm operates from 3331 Karnes Blvd, Kansas City, MO 64111 and answers calls at (816) 479-6820. Its general-contractor listing plus published 24/7 availability supplied the tie-breaker that secured first place. The modest review count produced a 0.177-point pull toward the national mean. These numbers reveal nothing about actual service quality or parts availability.
Heating & Air Conditioning
Heating & Air Conditioning sits second with 11 reviews at a raw 5.0 that settled at 4.827. The address is 1408 W 39th St, Kansas City, MO 64111; the phone is (844) 578-3132. No 24/7 flag or specialist category appears, so the firm relied solely on review volume for its position. Eleven reviews still left the score 0.063 above the national mean after adjustment. The data give no indication of diagnostic speed or warranty handling.
M&D HVAC Repair Service
M&D HVAC Repair Service ranks third on the strength of four reviews at raw 5.0 adjusted to 4.792. Its address is 4115 Oak St, Kansas City, MO 64111 and the contact number is (816) 403-4935. The 24/7 listing supplied the tie-breaker that edged it ahead of the next firm despite identical review counts. The small sample produced a 0.208-point downward adjustment. Nothing in the listing speaks to technician training or equipment brands stocked.
AirCraft HVAC LLC
AirCraft HVAC LLC holds fourth place with four reviews at raw 5.0 adjusted to 4.792. The address listed is 4223 State Line Rd, Kansas City, MO 64111; the phone number is (816) 450-9993. Absence of a 24/7 flag kept it below the preceding firm. Four reviews left the score 0.028 above the national mean. The figures say nothing about after-hours response or familiarity with local code requirements.
Pro Tech HVAC Repair Services DFW
Pro Tech HVAC Repair Services DFW appears fifth after three reviews at raw 5.0 adjusted to 4.785. The address is 1713 Minnesota Ave, Kansas City, KS 66102 and the phone is (913) 382-7457. Its Services category and lack of 24/7 listing placed it here. Three reviews produced a 0.021-point lift above the national mean. The listing supplies no information on parts sourcing or job completion times.
Moore Heating and Air Conditioning, Inc.
Moore Heating and Air Conditioning, Inc. ranks sixth with 11 reviews at a raw 4.8 adjusted to 4.774. The address is 30 S 7th St, Kansas City, KS 66101; the phone number is (913) 371-3179. The firm sits below the national mean, so adjustment raised its score by 0.026. Eleven reviews still left limited statistical weight. The numbers reveal nothing about brand specialization or long-term reliability.
A/C HVAC/Duct Clean
A/C HVAC/Duct Clean finishes seventh with one review at raw 5.0 adjusted to 4.772. The address is 3725 Genessee St, Kansas City, MO 64111 and the phone is (816) 287-8327. No 24/7 flag or specialist category appears. A single review produced a 0.008-point lift above the national mean. The data cannot speak to consistency or capacity during peak seasons.
How to choose
Cross-check every firm against the City of Kansas City contractor license database before requesting quotes. Confirm registration on utility ally lists if rebates are part of the project. Published 24/7 status offers one signal of intended response time but does not guarantee current staffing levels.
Cost
Modeled typical full-system installs fall between $7,900 and $9,700. The 2025 invoiced average reached $12,169, with the upper quartile at $18,997. Labor is listed at $95 per hour. Permit fees range from $80 to $300. The invoiced average sits noticeably above the modeled typical price, while the upper quartile more than doubles it. Both sources draw from the same market yet reflect different job scopes and contractor mixes. No single figure should be treated as a firm quote.
Climate
Kansas City lies in IECC zone 4A with a moist regime. Heating degree days total 4,700 while cooling degree days reach 1,500, producing a heating-leaning mixed load. Winter design temperature is 6 °F and summer design temperature is 94 °F with humid summers. Natural gas remains the dominant heating fuel. Heat pumps are rated good with backup. Central air conditioning saturation is near-universal. The dual-peak profile creates substantial service demand in both spring and fall, so equipment must handle both sensible and latent loads without oversizing that would shorten run times.
Licensing and permits
Missouri has no enacted state HVAC or mechanical contractor licensing board. Kansas City issues Heating and Ventilating contractor licenses under its 17 local categories within the Building and Rehabilitation Code. Insurance requirements vary by jurisdiction; the city mandates coverage and, for some categories, a cash deposit or bond. Permits are handled locally rather than statewide. Mechanical permits are required for furnace or air-conditioner replacement. Homeowners must verify status through the City Planning & Development contractor licensing page because standards differ sharply across Missouri jurisdictions.
Incentives
Missouri Home Energy Rebates remain conditionally approved with no launch date. Planned heat-pump rebates reach $8,000. No state tax credit exists. Ameren Missouri and Evergy MEEIA programs offer $200–$1,600 rebates but require a registered program ally. Federal 25C and 25D credits expired at the end of 2025; no residential HVAC tax credit applies in 2026. The 48E commercial credit survives only for qualifying third-party-owned systems. Homeowners seeking rebates must therefore limit conversations to registered allies listed by the utilities.
