Why Ankeny Homeowners Choose Obsidian

Ankeny is just minutes from our office, so we respond fast when you need us. We dispatch technicians the same day for emergency repairs during heating and cooling season, and can usually fix your heating or cooling system without a second visit. Whether it's a cold winter night or a sweltering summer afternoon, we're ready to help. Our local presence means you get service from technicians who know the Ankeny area.

Our veteran-owned team has been serving Ankeny families for 15 years with honest service and reliable repairs. We show up on time, do the job right, and stand behind our work with solid warranties. You get straightforward communication and honest recommendations — not unnecessary upsells or pressure to replace equipment that can still be repaired.

Ankeny's Iowa climate means hot summers, cold winters, and seasonal humidity swings that stress HVAC systems. We understand how to size heating and cooling systems for your home's insulation, age, orientation, and layout. We've worked on Ankeny homes built in the 1970s, 1980s, 1990s, 2000s, and recently — we know the common heating and cooling issues with each generation of construction.

We're an authorized Tempstar Elite Dealer for new installations, giving you access to reliable Tempstar systems and LG equipment backed by strong manufacturer warranties. We also service and repair equipment from Carrier, Trane, Lennox, York, Rheem, and other major manufacturers in homes throughout Ankeny. You get genuine factory parts and technicians trained on current equipment.

We offer seasonal furnace and AC tune-ups and maintenance plans that keep your systems running smoothly year-round. Regular maintenance catches small problems early before they become expensive failures, extends equipment life by 5–10 years, improves energy efficiency, and saves money on utility bills. Many Ankeny homeowners on our maintenance plans report fewer service calls and lower heating/cooling costs.

Answering Your Questions

Frequently Asked Questions About Ankeny HVAC Service

First, check your thermostat — make sure it's set to heat mode and the temperature setting is higher than the current room temperature. If that doesn't work, check your breaker or gas valve to see if it's been tripped or turned off. Then call us at (515) 599-8488. We respond to emergency furnace calls and often fix the problem the same day.

The cost depends on the unit's size, efficiency rating (SEER), brand, and whether you need new ductwork or electrical upgrades. We provide a detailed estimate before work begins so you know exactly what to expect. We also offer financing to spread the cost over time.

Yes. Modern heat pumps are efficient even in cold temperatures below freezing. They heat more efficiently than electric heat and cost less to operate than furnaces in milder weather. During extreme cold snaps, a backup heat source kicks in automatically. Many Ankeny homeowners use heat pumps successfully.

We recommend a tune-up before cooling season starts (spring) and again before heating season (fall). Seasonal maintenance keeps your system running efficiently, prevents breakdowns, and can extend equipment life by 5–10 years. It also saves money on energy bills.

A furnace only heats. An HVAC system includes heating, cooling (air conditioning or heat pump), and air handling. Most modern homes have a complete HVAC system — furnace or heat pump for heating, AC or heat pump for cooling, plus ductwork and a thermostat.

Yes. We service and repair Tempstar, LG, Carrier, Trane, Lennox, York, Rheem, and other major brands. If you have an older or less common brand, bring us the model number and we can help. We stock parts or can source them from our suppliers.

A well-maintained furnace or AC unit lasts 15–20 years. Heat pumps typically last 15–18 years. Proper maintenance, timely repairs, and seasonal tune-ups extend lifespan. If your system is over 15 years old and needs frequent repairs, replacement may be more economical.

Our plan typically includes: filter inspection and replacement, system cleaning, component testing, pressure and charge checks, burner inspection for furnaces, and a written report. We schedule spring and fall visits so your system is ready before heating and cooling season.

First, check your thermostat — make sure it's set to cool mode and the temperature is set below the current room temperature. Check that your outside compressor unit isn't blocked by leaves or debris. If neither of those is the problem, call us. The issue might be low refrigerant, a failed compressor, a blocked condenser, or thermostat malfunction. We diagnose and repair the problem.

If your furnace or AC is over 15 years old, costs more to repair, and your energy bills are high, replacement often makes economic sense. Newer systems are 25–40% more efficient, use less energy, and run more reliably. We can help you evaluate whether repair or replacement makes sense for your home and budget. Financing is available if you choose replacement.
