Kirkwood's mix of century-old homes near downtown and mid-century ranches in Greentree and Osage Hills each demand a different HVAC approach. Ricotta Heating & Air brings 50+ years of experience to both — without the high-pressure replacement pitch.
Kirkwood's Old Homes Are Their Own Animal
Plaster walls, balloon-frame construction, original boilers that someone added forced air to in the 80s — Kirkwood's older homes weren't built for modern HVAC, and dropping in oversized equipment is the #1 mistake we see other companies make here. The right answer is often a smaller, two-stage system with thoughtful return-air work, not a bigger box.
Signs You Need AC Repair in Kirkwood
- Vents blowing warm or room-temperature air
- Weak airflow even with the system running
- Short cycling (turns on and off rapidly)
- Energy bills climbing without a change in usage
- Rattling, hissing, or grinding noises
- Musty or burning odors when the AC runs
- Water pooling or ice forming around the unit
What We Check on an AC Service Call
- Refrigerant charge and leaks
- Capacitor and contactor
- Evaporator and condenser coils
- Condensate drain
- Filter and airflow
- Thermostat calibration
- Electrical connections
Most cooling failures trace back to one of these — we diagnose the real fault before quoting, so you're not paying for parts you don't need.

Kirkwood HVAC Questions
Do you do boiler work on the older Kirkwood homes?
We focus on forced-air systems. If you have a hot-water boiler we can advise on conversion options, but we'll be straight with you about whether that makes sense for your home.
How much does AC repair cost in Kirkwood?
AC repair costs depend on the diagnosis, parts, and labor. Ask about diagnostic charges when scheduling; free estimates apply to system replacement.
How quickly can you provide AC repair in Kirkwood?
Call during our 7 AM–8 PM hours to confirm the next available appointment in St. Louis County. Scheduling depends on demand and the repair needed.
My AC is blowing warm air — can you fix it?
Usually yes; warm air typically means low refrigerant, a failed capacitor, or a frozen coil — all things we carry parts for.
Should I repair or replace my AC?
If your unit is 12+ years old and the repair tops about $1,500, we'll lay out the honest repair-vs-replace math.
What AC brands do you service in Kirkwood?
All major AC and furnace brands, whether we installed the system or not.
