Why Central Iowa Trusts Obsidian Heating and Cooling

Our veteran-owned heritage isn’t a marketing line—it’s how we run the business. Clear communication, disciplined execution, follow-through on every commitment. When we say we’ll be there, we’re there. When we quote a price, that’s the price. When the work needs to be done right, it gets done right. That same accountability extends to every technician we hire and every job we take.

We’re a factory-authorized Elite Dealer for Tempstar—a designation earned through installation standards, ongoing training, and customer satisfaction metrics. That status flows directly to you: priority parts access, extended warranty benefits, and manufacturer backing when something needs attention after the install.

We’ve installed, repaired, and maintained thousands of HVAC systems across Des Moines and surrounding communities. We know the housing stock—ranch-style homes, two-story colonials, new construction, mobile and modular. We know how Iowa humidity and winter extremes push equipment. That context shapes every recommendation we make.

Detailed written estimates on every project. No surprise add-ons at the end of the job. No high-pressure upsells on the kitchen table. If there’s a real choice to make—repair versus replace, mid-tier versus high-efficiency—we walk you through the trade-offs and let you decide.

Every new installation includes one full year of free maintenance, and we’re here for years after that—repairs, tune-ups, questions, warranty claims. If the work isn’t right, we come back and make it right. We also offer ongoing maintenance plans and flexible financing to keep things simple.

Our Story

15 Years of Central Iowa HVAC

Obsidian Heating and Cooling was founded on a simple premise: homeowners and business owners in Des Moines and the surrounding communities deserve HVAC service that shows up on time, does the work right the first time, and stands behind every installation. After 15 years in this industry, we’ve learned that the best way to earn that trust is to operate like we’re accountable to every single customer—because we are.

We’re veteran-owned. The discipline, clear communication, and attention to detail that shaped our service carries over into every technician we hire and every job we take on. We know what it feels like to wait for a technician who never shows, or to be handed a repair bill that doesn’t match the estimate. We don’t do that. We give you an honest assessment, a detailed written estimate, and the respect of treating your home like it’s ours.

Today we install, repair, and maintain every major system type—central air, furnaces, heat pumps, ductless mini-splits, boilers, and geothermal—plus gas piping, indoor air quality, and light commercial HVAC. But the story hasn’t changed: veteran-owned, locally based, accountable to every customer.
