HVAC Repair in Independence, MO
Shanks Heating and Cooling serves Independence from our shop in Kearney, about thirty five minutes north. Independence is a growing part of our service area, and the work here is almost entirely repair and service calls.
Why Call Us if We Are Not Based in Independence
Plenty of companies are closer. What we bring is a track record: family owned since 1999, 5.0 stars across more than 900 reviews, an active Missouri contractor license, and permitted work on public record across the Kansas City metro.
Independence has a broad mix of housing, much of it mid century, which usually means older ductwork and systems that have been replaced at least once already. That work rewards someone who looks at the whole system rather than just the failed part, and it is the kind of call we would rather take than a straight swap.
What Our Independence Customers Say
"My AC had been out for a couple of days, I had been struggling with getting someone out here with other companies. They were able to send Shawn over and he diagnosed the problem and was able to fix it then and there. Back to having cool air again."
- Nick T., Independence
"We needed a hot water tank replacement and Shanks quickly responded and did an excellent job replacing it for us. The employees were friendly and very knowledgeable. Thank you so much."

Frequently Asked Questions
How much is a service call?
$89. You get a written, itemized price before any repair work begins, and we do not start until you approve it.
Do you charge more for nights and weekends?
Yes, after hours, weekend and holiday calls cost more than a standard weekday visit. Maintenance plan members receive a discount on that charge.
What warranty do you offer?
Repairs are guaranteed one year on parts and labor. Installations include a one year labor warranty, and we can extend labor coverage up to ten years. Equipment carries the manufacturer's warranty, which we register for you.
Should I repair or replace my system?
If your system is over 12 to 15 years old, needs repeated repairs, or uses R-22 refrigerant, replacement usually costs less over time. Under 10 years with a single failed part, repair is almost always the better value. We will show you the failed component and the test readings and give you both prices.
Are your technicians certified?
Yes. We have NATE certified technicians and we are an American Standard dealer.
Do you pull permits?
Yes. Every replacement that requires a permit gets one, and we schedule the inspection. Our permit history across the metro is public record.
What brands do you service?
All major brands, including Carrier, Trane, Lennox, Goodman, Rheem, York and American Standard.
Do you offer financing?
Yes, through Wells Fargo. Applying does not affect your credit score.
