North East is one of Cecil County’s hidden gems — a picturesque waterfront town of about 3,500 residents nestled where the North East River meets the upper Chesapeake Bay. Known for its charming downtown, scenic marinas, and proximity to Elk Neck State Park and Turkey Point Lighthouse, North East attracts families who appreciate small-town living with easy access to natural beauty.
At Hoot Heating & Air, we know North East. We’ve installed furnaces in the historic homes along Main Street, upgraded air conditioning in the waterfront properties near the marinas, and serviced heat pumps throughout the community. Our headquarters in nearby Rising Sun means we’re just about 15 minutes away — close enough to respond quickly, local enough to understand your needs.
In 2024 and 2025, Cecil County residents — including many North East homeowners — voted us #1 Best HVAC Contractor and #1 Best Plumber in the Cecil Whig Favorites poll. That recognition reflects our commitment to treating every customer like a neighbor, because in North East, you are.

What Cecil County Homeowners Say About Hoot
Posted on Google John HostetterTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The heat went out in our office today around 2:30 PM...on a Friday. I called Hoot and after about 5 minutes on the phone, I was on the schedule for an emergency repair. Within an hour or so, Brian arrived and quickly diagnosed and repaired our heating system before the close of business. Thank you for taking such good care of a new customer.Posted on Google Matthew McElyeaTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. This company is great! Easily scheduled an appointment after hours online once we noticed our furnace wasn’t working. The day of the appointment, we were contacted for a quick description of the problem. Our tech Brian came out and was a pleasure to work with! He quickly went right to work and found the culprit quickly. They were able to fix our furnace same day with the correct gas valve he had on the truck. I would recommend Hoot to anyone who is looking for HVAC issues. Brain gets an A+ for quality of work, on time, and being an effective communicator. Thanks again for the great service!Posted on Google Suzanne FoppianoTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Great service! Professional, thorough, and took time to explain things. Highly, highly recommend. Dylan was extremely helpful!Posted on Google Bill LawsonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My heat went out on Thanksgiving weekend. The worst time it could have gone out. Not on a Monday morning at 8:00 a.m.. I called a few different places and left messages, but Hoot answered the phone. Dylan came out in half an hour. He was able to diagnose the problem and fix it right away. It was not a simple problem, a wire had vibrated and shortened out and he was able to find it and fix it. Thanks Dylan. Great job!Posted on Google Ameenah DTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Outstanding Service!!! Our heater broke right before Thanksgiving, Hoot to save the day!!!
