Top-Rated Residential Air Conditioning Experts
Air conditioning issues can be frustrating. While regular maintenance can help avoid breakdowns and prolong the life of your unit, sometimes repairs are unavoidable.
Buckner’s offers after-hours service and a 100% satisfaction guarantee on all residential air conditioning repairs so you can rest assured that your AC will be back up and running quickly and efficiently.
Here are the top three signs your residential air conditioning system needs servicing:
- Unusual noises: If your unit is making noises that are out of the ordinary, like grinding or clattering, it may be a sign of mechanical issues such as a loose belt or failing motor bearings.
- Warm Air: When your air conditioning is doing the opposite of what it’s supposed to and blowing warm air into your home, there’s a problem, such as a refrigerant leak.
- Frequent Cycling: If your unit is turning on and off at an increased rate, this can mean problems with the thermostat or compressor.
Air Conditioning Installation & Replacement
Sometimes, it’s hard to know when your air conditioning has reached the end of its lifespan and whether replacing your AC system is best. Typically, air conditioner replacement becomes a more cost-effective solution when your unit’s efficiency has declined and you’re encountering higher energy costs or less reliable performance.
At Buckner’s, we don’t use shortcuts, and our HVAC technicians are continuously trained in the latest heating and cooling technologies. We will carefully evaluate your current system, whether it’s central air conditioning, ductless mini-split AC, or a geothermal system, and provide recommendations for the right replacement for your home.
Next, we’ll provide you with our trusted and exceptional air conditioning replacement, complete with our upfront, no-surprise pricing and satisfaction guarantee.
Air Conditioning Tune-Ups & Preventative Maintenance
Preventative AC maintenance service is essential to keeping your home comfortable. During the heat and high humidity of summer in Missouri, you don’t want to be caught without air conditioning.
A regular air conditioning tune-up can make all the difference. Here’s how:
- Increase your AC unit’s lifespan: Ensuring all parts are in good working condition routinely helps to prevent needing to replace your unit too soon and make the most of your current system for as long as possible.
- Improve reliability: Regular AC maintenance will help prevent major issues and reduce the likelihood of surprise breakdowns.
- Provide cost savings: You will see the return on your AC tune-up investment in the form of energy efficiency and savings on your utility bills.
We make routine AC tune-ups easy by offering a summer cooling maintenance plan that includes a 15-point AC maintenance visit from one of our continuously trained and highly experienced technicians.

My AC system is very old. Are you able to fix it?
Our technicians can work on any type of AC system you may have in your home. While we can continue to repair an older system, it will reach a point where it’s more cost-effective to replace it. No matter the issue, we’ll find a way to ensure that you get the air conditioning you need for you and your family.

Our experienced technicians are trained on all major brands and models, ensuring reliable AC repair and maintenance for your Missouri home regardless of system type or age.
How often should I have my cooling system inspected?
Kansas City homeowners should schedule annual AC maintenance in early spring before Missouri’s intense summer heat arrives. Regular cooling system inspections improve energy efficiency, prevent costly breakdowns during peak summer months, and extend your AC unit’s lifespan. Buckner’s offers comprehensive 15-point maintenance visits to keep your system running efficiently.
What are the signs that my cooling system needs repair?
Watch for these common AC problems: warm air blowing from vents, unusual noises like grinding or clattering, frequent cycling on and off, poor airflow, rising energy bills, or strange odors. If your system struggles to cool your Kansas City home during hot Missouri summers, call Buckner’s immediately for professional diagnosis and repair.
What can I do to improve the efficiency of my cooling system?
Boost your AC efficiency with these tips: replace air filters monthly during summer, seal air leaks around windows and doors, use ceiling fans to circulate cool air, program your thermostat higher when away, and schedule annual professional maintenance. Buckner’s technicians can also recommend upgrades like smart thermostats or ductwork improvements for optimal cooling efficiency.
What is the lifespan of a typical cooling system?
Most air conditioning systems last 10-15 years with proper maintenance, though central AC units can reach 15-20 years in ideal conditions. Missouri’s hot, humid summers can impact system longevity. Factors affecting lifespan include system quality, regular maintenance, usage patterns, and local climate conditions. Consider replacement if your AC is approaching this age range.
Are there any rebates or incentives for upgrading to a new cooling system?
Yes! Kansas City residents can access utility rebates and federal tax credits for high-efficiency cooling systems. Buckner’s currently offers up to $2,125 in rebates on qualifying AC systems, plus flexible financing options to make upgrades affordable. Our team will help you identify all available incentives for your new air conditioning installation.
How can I save energy on air conditioning during the summer?
Reduce summer cooling costs by setting your thermostat to 78°F when home, using programmable thermostats, closing blinds during peak sun hours, running ceiling fans to feel cooler at higher temperatures, and sealing air leaks. Schedule regular AC maintenance with Buckner’s to ensure peak efficiency during Missouri’s demanding summer months.
