What to Do in the First 30 Minutes of an HVAC Emergency

Stabilize the situation safely — without touching refrigerant circuits, fuel-burning equipment, or live electrical components. Then call and tell us what you found.

If there’s no cooling or no heat

  1. 1Set the thermostat to the mode you need and a reasonable setpoint, then wait a minute for a response.
  2. 2Check whether the filter is heavily loaded and note its size — don't force a filter into a wet or damaged cabinet.
  3. 3Look at the breaker position and outdoor-unit airflow, but don't keep resetting a breaker that trips again.
  4. 4Write down the indoor temperature, any thermostat message, unusual sounds, and when the failure began.
  5. 5Call us with the symptom, equipment location, property access, and any safety concern.

Leave the area and request urgent help if you notice a burning smell, smoke, a breaker that keeps tripping, or any carbon-monoxide concern.

If water is leaking or humidity is rising

  1. 1Shut the HVAC system off if it's safe to do so, and place towels or a container under the visible drip.
  2. 2Photograph the drain pan, condensate line, standing water, and any damaged drywall or belongings.
  3. 3Record the thermostat temperature and humidity reading if your thermostat shows it.
  4. 4Begin drying wet materials within 24–48 hours to reduce mold-growth risk, per EPA guidance.
  5. 5Call us for diagnosis — a clogged drain, frozen coil, damaged pan, or poor slope each needs a different fix.

Keep indoor relative humidity below 60% — ideally 30–50% — especially after wet spring weather or a condensate failure.

Built for Our Weather

Why Goodman’s Climate & Rural Roads Matter

HVAC in McDonald County isn’t one-size-fits-all. Our summers, winters, and rural properties each put specific demands on your system — and on the company you call.

Hot, Humid Summers

July here averages about 91°F highs, and roughly 45.89 inches of annual rain keeps the air humid. That sustained load exposes weak capacitors, dirty coils, low refrigerant, and undersized ducts — and makes a working condensate drain essential. We keep indoor humidity in the healthy 30–50% range.

Cold Winter Snaps

January lows near 26°F turn a furnace or heat-pump failure into an emergency, especially in older homes with limited backup heat. We inspect fuel-burning equipment before heating season and check carbon-monoxide safeguards so you stay warm and safe.

Rural Route 59 & Elk River

Homes near Missouri Route 59 and the Elk River can have long driveways, gated access, basements, crawlspaces, and aging ductwork. Tell us about parking, access, and equipment location when you call, and we’ll arrive prepared for the property — not just the address.

Where We Work

Serving Goodman & All of Southwest Missouri

From our home county of McDonald to Neosho, Joplin, Monett, and across the Ozarks — including rural and long-driveway properties near Missouri Route 59 and the Elk River — if you’re in the region, we’ve got you covered.

What Southwest Missouri Says About Us

4.938 reviews

“Our AC quit on one of the hottest days of the summer and Hooten had someone out the same afternoon. Found a bad capacitor, showed me the price before fixing it, and we were cool again fast. Can't ask for more.”

Debbie R.

Goodman, MO · AC Repair

“They replaced our old furnace with a new high-efficiency unit. Took the time to size it right instead of just selling us the biggest one. Clean install and our winter gas bills dropped noticeably.”

Mark T.

Neosho, MO · Heating Installation

“No heat on a freezing night with my elderly mother in the house. They answered the phone, talked me through checking a few things, and had a tech out quickly. Honest, kind, and professional.”

Sandra K.

Anderson, MO · No-Heat Emergency Repair

“Water was leaking around our air handler and I thought the worst. Turned out to be a clogged condensate drain. They cleared it, checked the pan, and explained how to keep it from happening. Fair price too.”

Jason M.

Pineville, MO · AC Repair

“We have a rental cabin on the river and Hooten keeps the AC running all season. They understand seasonal properties and are always dependable when we have guests coming in.”

Linda H.

Noel, MO · HVAC Maintenance

“Hail beat up our outdoor unit during a storm. They came out, documented everything for our insurance, and handled the replacement. Made a stressful situation a lot easier.”
