Our veteran-owned team is experienced in sizing, installing, and maintaining HVAC systems that work inside compact spaces while delivering real comfort.

Why Mobile & Modular Homeowners in Des Moines Choose Us
Services We Provide for Mobile & Modular Homes
We handle the full range of heating and cooling needs for mobile and modular homeowners. Here's what we offer:
Central AC Installation & Replacement
If your mobile home's air conditioning is aging or you're upgrading to a more efficient model, we'll handle the complete installation. We assess your ductwork, ensure proper refrigerant charge, and seal all connections to prevent leaks that reduce efficiency. We also verify that your home's electrical service can support the new unit and perform a final test to ensure even cooling throughout your space.
Central AC Repair & Service
AC stopped working? Blowing warm air? Running but not cooling? We diagnose the problem — compressor failure, refrigerant leak, dirty condenser, thermostat malfunction — and get your system running again. Our technicians carry common parts and can often complete repairs on the first visit, so you're not waiting for a second appointment.
Heat Pump Installation & Replacement
A heat pump heats in winter and cools in summer, making it ideal for Iowa's variable climate. We install ducted heat pumps sized specifically for mobile home square footage and ductwork. Heat pumps are more efficient than electric heating and reduce your winter utility costs significantly.
Heat Pump Repair & Service
Heat pumps are efficient, but they need specialized knowledge when something goes wrong. Our technicians are trained to service both heating and cooling cycles, diagnose defrost issues, and restore your comfort year-round. We check refrigerant charge, electrical connections, and airflow to get your system performing optimally.
Mini-Split Installation & Replacement
If adding traditional ductwork isn't practical in your space, a ductless mini-split system delivers heating and cooling without major modifications. Wall-mounted units are quiet and let you control temperature in individual zones. We handle the complete installation, including proper refrigerant line sizing and electrical hookup.
Mini-Split Repair & Service
Ductless systems are quiet and efficient, and our team knows how to maintain and repair them. We service the outdoor condenser and all indoor units, clean filters, check refrigerant levels, and restore performance. Mini-splits rarely need repair if maintained properly, but we're ready when they do.
Furnace Installation & Replacement
For homes that need efficient heating without a heat pump, we install high-efficiency furnaces and gas heating systems. We ensure proper venting through your roof or wall, set burner operation to manufacturer specs, and verify safe combustion. A properly installed furnace keeps you warm through Iowa winters without safety risks.
Furnace Repair & Service
If your furnace won't start, cycles on and off too frequently, or produces uneven heat, we diagnose the cause and fix it. We perform safety checks to ensure proper combustion, clean burner assemblies, and replace worn ignition systems. We also verify that your flue is clear and venting safely.
Boiler Installation & Replacement
Some mobile homes use hydronic heating systems with boilers. We install and service these systems, ensuring safe water temperature control, proper pressure, and efficient heating throughout your home. Boilers are durable and long-lasting when properly maintained.
Boiler Repair & Service
Boiler problems can mean no heat and no hot water. We respond quickly to diagnose and repair issues like low pressure, thermostat failure, or leaking zones. We also perform annual safety inspections to catch issues before they become expensive problems.
Air Filtration & Indoor Air Quality
Mobile and modular homes can trap pollutants more easily due to tight construction. We offer whole-home air cleaners to remove particles, UV light systems to kill bacteria and viruses, and high-efficiency filters to catch allergens. Better indoor air quality improves health and comfort.
Humidification & Dehumidification
Iowa winters are dry and summers can be humid. We add humidifiers for winter comfort and dehumidifiers for summer, keeping moisture levels balanced year-round. Proper humidity reduces static shock, helps you sleep better, and protects your home's structure and furnishings.
