Do You Need AC Repair or a Full AC Replacement?
If you’re trying to “get one more summer” out of an older unit, spring is the time to decide—before the first heat wave turns a planned upgrade into an emergency.
Your existing AC unit may be a strong candidate for replacement if:
- Your system is 10–15+ years old
- Frequent AC repairs, refrigerant leaks, or repeated “no-cool” calls
- Rising energy bills or longer run times
- Uneven temperatures, poor airflow, or humidity that won’t come down
- Loud operation or breakdowns during heat waves
- If your system uses R-22 (HCFC-22), repairs can become more expensive because new production/import ended in 2020 and supply comes from reclaimed/recovered sources.
Our heating and cooling technicians provide honest guidance—repair when it makes sense, replace when it saves you money.

Frequently Asked Questions About New AC installations
How long does a new AC installation take?
Most standard replacements are completed in one day. Complex duct modifications or multi-system homes may take longer.
Will a bigger air conditioner cool my home faster?
Not necessarily. Oversizing can cause short-cycling, humidity issues, and faster wear. We right-size with a proper load calculation.
Do you offer financing?
Yes—qualified customers can connect with financing, and we’ll help identify promotions or rebates during your estimate.
What rebates might be available in the Des Moines area?
Utility incentives vary, but MidAmerican publishes Iowa program terms and equipment discounts (including central AC and smart thermostats). We’ll help you check for rebates available to you.
