Why Commercial Facilities in Des Moines Trust Obsidian

We've installed and maintained rooftop units, package systems, VAV boxes, heat pumps, and split systems in office buildings, retail spaces, restaurants, small warehouses, light industrial facilities, and multi-tenant properties across central Iowa. We understand commercial equipment, multi-zone systems, building code requirements, and the critical need for fast diagnosis and repair when your business depends on climate control. We've handled emergency calls in all seasons and know how to minimize your downtime.

As a veteran-owned business, we show up on schedule, complete work as promised, and stand behind every service with solid warranties. We know that HVAC downtime costs money — whether you're losing productivity, driving customers away, or exposing equipment to damage. That's why we prioritize quick response times, first-call repair rates, and transparent communication. You get direct access to our technicians and management, not a call center script.

We respond to commercial HVAC emergencies 24 hours a day, 7 days a week because commercial buildings don't stop operating. We dispatch technicians within 1–2 hours during business hours, carry common parts and materials in our service vehicles, and often diagnose and repair issues the same day. We also offer planned maintenance schedules that prevent emergencies before they happen, extend equipment life, and keep your building comfortable year-round.

We're an authorized Tempstar Elite Dealer for commercial rooftop units and package systems, which means you get genuine factory parts, manufacturer warranty support, and technicians trained on current equipment. We also service and maintain systems from other leading manufacturers — LG, Carrier, Trane, Lennox, York. Authorized dealer status ensures your system receives proper care and you maintain warranty coverage.

Commercial HVAC systems need regular planned maintenance to maintain peak efficiency and prevent expensive emergency failures. We design maintenance plans around your facility type and equipment — typically quarterly or semi-annual service visits that include filter changes, refrigerant inspections, electrical checks, thermostat calibration, performance testing, and a detailed report. Planned maintenance catches problems early, keeps your building comfortable, and reduces energy costs significantly.

Commercial HVAC Services We Provide

We handle the full range of installation, repair, and maintenance for light commercial HVAC systems. Here's what we offer:

Rooftop Unit (RTU) Installation & Replacement

Rooftop package units serve most light commercial buildings — offices, retail, restaurants, small warehouses. We assess your space's cooling and heating load, size the unit properly, install with professional ductwork and sealed connections, hook up electrical service, and program thermostats. We handle replacement of aging units with minimal disruption to your business — often scheduling installation during off-hours. Every new installation is tested and commissioned before handoff.

Rooftop Unit Repair & Service

If your rooftop unit isn't cooling or heating, is leaking refrigerant, cycles on/off frequently, or makes strange noises, we diagnose and repair it quickly. We have safety equipment and technicians trained to work on commercial roofs in all weather conditions. Most repairs are completed without full system downtime — we isolate and repair the problem while the rest of the unit continues operating.

Package Unit Installation & Replacement

Ground-level or wall-mounted package units combine heating, cooling, and sometimes ventilation in one sealed unit. We install new units for building expansions or replacements with proper ductwork connections, electrical service, and gas line hookups where needed. We also handle moving or replacing existing units with coordination to minimize business disruption.

Package Unit Repair & Service

Package unit problems — low refrigerant, compressor failure, thermostat malfunction, blocked airflow — affect your entire building's comfort and tenant satisfaction. We diagnose quickly using pressure gauges and electrical testing, stock or source the needed parts, and repair on-site whenever possible.

VAV System Installation, Programming & Maintenance

Variable air volume (VAV) systems use dampers and thermostats to deliver heated or cooled air independently to each zone — saving energy and allowing zone-by-zone comfort control. We install VAV systems, program and commission controllers, balance airflow to every zone, and teach your staff how to adjust settings. Proper VAV tuning cuts energy waste and keeps tenants comfortable.

Multi-Zone System Repair & Commissioning

Commercial buildings often have complex systems serving multiple floors, zones, or independent tenant spaces. We repair multi-zone equipment, rebalance airflow, reprogram thermostats and controllers, verify refrigerant charge, and ensure each zone receives the right temperature and air volume. We also perform system commissioning after installation to verify everything works as designed.

Preventive Maintenance Programs

We design customized maintenance plans for your commercial facility tailored to equipment type and age — typically quarterly or semi-annual visits. Each visit includes: filter inspection and replacement, refrigerant level and charge testing, electrical connection tightening, thermostat calibration, blower motor cleaning, burner inspection, performance testing under load, and a detailed written report. Planned maintenance catches problems early, extends equipment life by years, and maintains warranty coverage.

Emergency Repair & 24/7 After-Hours Service

Commercial HVAC emergencies don't happen during business hours — they happen on hot summer afternoons and cold winter mornings. We offer 24/7 emergency response for critical system failures. Call 515-599-8488 anytime your system fails, describe the problem, and we'll dispatch a technician within 1–2 hours with parts and tools to get you back online.

Energy Efficiency Audits & Upgrades

Older commercial HVAC systems waste significant energy. We evaluate your current system's efficiency, measure actual consumption, and recommend upgrades with payback timelines — new thermostats with scheduling and setback features, ductwork sealing to eliminate leaks, unit replacement with high-efficiency models, or control system improvements that reduce energy use 10–20%.

Controls, Thermostats & Building Automation

Modern commercial controls and smart thermostats reduce energy costs through scheduling, zone optimization, occupancy sensing, and remote monitoring. We install upgraded controls on existing equipment, integrate controls with your building's automation system if you have one, and train your staff on operation and adjustments.
