about us

Darling Heating and Cooling began in 1998 from the vision of one man, one truck and a strong work ethic.  Mike Darling, owner of Darling Heating and Cooling, studied the HVAC industry by taking night classes while serving in the United State Air Force. When his enlistment was up, he relocated to Kirksville, MO, where his dream began.  His LLC has now grown to incorporate his son, Jake Darling, also an HVAC technician, along with a great team of professional employees.  Darling Heating and Cooling LLC is a small town based, family business, committed to providing fast, and efficient service for any, and all of your residential or light commercial HVAC needs!

Frequently asked questions

  • How often should I change my filter?
    We recommend you change your filter every 3-4 months.
  • How often should I have my equipment checked?
    We recommend having your equipment serviced twice a year. Our Preventative Maintenance Agreement is a great way to keep your equipment serviced on a consistent schedule!
  • What kind of filters should I buy?
    We recommend Merv 7-10 or FPR 5-8. Anything over that is decreasing efficiency, and anything less is letting dirt into your system.

Preventative Maintenance

Just like everything else in the world right now, heating and cooling equipment is getting more complex and more expensive. Unfortunately in these times it’s just a fact of life. Just like your car needs an oil change and a tune up from time to time to keep it running smoothly, your HVAC equipment is no different. Sure just like a vehicle it might run for years with no issues, but without regular service a small preventable problem could turn into complete unit failure, not to mention void your warranty. Additionally, a dirty filter, coil, blower wheel, or a stuck element could add hundreds of dollars to your utility bills and even take YEARS off the life of your equipment! Let us take the stress out of that area of your life with our Preventative Maintenance Program!
