Iowa humidity is the real test. Here's the 4-item summer check.
- Rinse the outdoor coil. Cottonwood, grass clippings, and pollen plug the condenser fast around here. Kill the power, hose it top-down with a gentle spray (never a pressure washer) — airflow returns, so does efficiency.
- Swap the filter every 30–45 days. Humid Iowa air pulls more dust through the return. A clogged filter forces the blower to fight, and humidity control drops off before the system actually breaks.
- Set 78°F while you're home. Every degree cooler burns roughly 3–5% more energy in humid heat. Ceiling fans (blades counter-clockwise in summer) let you feel 4° cooler at the same setpoint.
- Listen for the tell. A new buzz at start-up, a gurgle in the lineset, or a warm gust from the vent means capacitor, refrigerant, or blower trouble — cheaper to catch at 8am than at 10pm.
Anything on the list feel off? Don't guess. (515) 277-6327

Not owned by private equity. Owned by your neighbors.
HVAC across America is being rolled up by out-of-state investors. We're the opposite — a locally-owned Des Moines family business since 2007, with the same family, the same crew, and the same standard on every visit. No quarterly earnings call, no corporate playbook telling our techs what to sell.
-
Family-owned since 2007
Same owners. Same trucks. Same standard — for 19+ Iowa winters and counting.
-
Paid by the hour, never on commission
Our techs answer to you and the equipment — not a sales quota from a distant boardroom.
-
Decisions made in Des Moines
Every service call, every hire, every warranty judgment — handled by the family working the trucks.
Know who you're calling
When you search for HVAC help in Des Moines, the top results may look local — but many aren't.
A wave of out-of-state private equity firms has been buying up neighborhood HVAC brands across the Midwest, keeping the truck logos the same while changing everything behind them. Here's the difference — side by side.
- Independently owned & operated in Des Moines since 2007
- Our owners & techs live in the same neighborhoods we serve
- 1,000+ five-star reviews — earned one customer at a time
- Community-minded — we give back to those in need right here in Des Moines
- Your dollars stay local — supporting jobs & families in our city
- Multiple "local" brands, one out-of-state corporate owner
- Profit-first model with sales quotas and upsell pressure
- Decisions made in a boardroom in another state
- Corporate priorities — not honesty and integrity — drive recommendations
- Your dollars leave Des Moines and go to out-of-state investors
One of our neighbors recently called us for a second opinion after a PE-backed HVAC company performed a “routine” A/C maintenance visit and told them their system needed to be fully replaced.
After being referred by a neighbor, our service manager arrived and immediately found the actual issue: the outdoor condenser coil was plugged with normal debris buildup, causing the high-limit switch to trip an error code.
At Midwest Comfort, we believe homeowners deserve honest answers, real diagnostics, and repair options before being pressured into a major purchase. We pride ourselves on being community-driven and doing the best thing for our neighbors.

Annual HVAC maintenance
Annual HVAC maintenance
pays for itself.
Most breakdowns don't happen out of nowhere — they're small problems that went unchecked. Here's what regular maintenance actually does for your home.
-
Lower energy bills
A neglected system can use 10–25% more electricity just to keep up. That adds up fast over an Iowa summer.
-
Prevent failures
Worn capacitors, low refrigerant, dirty coils — caught during a tune-up before they become a breakdown.
-
Extend equipment life
Maintained systems consistently last 2–5 years longer. On a $6k–$12k system, that's real money.
-
Peace of mind
A certified tech signs off on your system before peak season. No guessing at 10pm if it'll make it through the night.
We've since moved and now use them for fall/spring maintenance at our new home. I've always felt they've been honest when answering questions and with the assessment of our equipment. They provide excellent communication and are efficient with the service they provide.

“Great customer service and knowledgeable technician. Very friendly and didn’t try to upsell product/services that you don’t need.”

“Very happy my family gave Midwest Comfort Heating and Cooling a try when my mom's AC started to give out. Eli came out and gave everything a look, and gave us the news that the system would need to be replaced. Talked us through our options and made sure we had our questions answered. Jordan and Brian got in contact with us to get the ball rolling for the new system, made sure we had all of the information needed and made sure we were good to go. And then Jordan and Caleb were fantastic in getting the new system installed. Left everything spotless and made sure everything was charged and in great condition. Everyone was incredibly helpful, friendly, and knowledgeable. I'm so grateful there are still local companies and people in Des Moines who take pride in what they do. Yeah, we had to spend a substantial amount of money, but it was for a necessary purchase and I'm glad we went through Midwest!”
