HVAC & Plumbing Services in Rising Sun, MD. Our Hometown, Our Neighbors
Rising Sun is home. It’s where Hoot Heating & Air was founded in 1989, where our headquarters is located today, and where many of our team members live and raise their families.

Hoot Heating & Air
Proudly Based in Rising Sun Since 1989
Rising Sun is a close-knit community of about 2,800 residents nestled in northern Cecil County, just south of the Pennsylvania border. It’s a place where neighbors know each other, local businesses matter, and community connections run deep. That’s exactly why we chose to build our business here over 35 years ago — and why we’ve never left.
We’ve installed furnaces in homes along Main Street, serviced air conditioners in the neighborhoods near Rising Sun High School, and maintained heat pumps for families throughout town. We sponsor local youth sports, support community events, and see our customers at the grocery store, at church, and at Friday night football games. When we say we treat every home like our own, we mean it — because in Rising Sun, many of these homes belong to people we’ve known for decades.
In 2024 and 2025, Cecil County residents — including our Rising Sun neighbors — voted us #1 Best HVAC Contractor and #1 Best Plumber in the Cecil Whig Favorites poll. That recognition means everything to us because it comes from the community we call home.

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!!!
