Air Conditioning

Summer picnics, sunbathing in the afternoon, or a great game of baseball. These are the memories born each summer. But after a day of fun in the summer heat, or even in the middle of one, you and your family may want to take a break in your air conditioned West Des Moines home. Our team at Best Heating, Cooling & Electric wants to be sure your air conditioner is ready and waiting when that time comes.

It is a good idea to have your air conditioning system checked out before the mercury rises. Our trained professionals are happy to come out to provide a multipoint inspection, basic cleaning, and a list of suggested repairs if needed. Being proactive about your air conditioning system can mean you will not have any unpleasant surprises when the weather gets really warm in Iowa.

If you have an older air conditioner and have racked up repair bills in past summers, it may be worth considering making an investment in a new unit. We carry the top brand names and have extensive experience in air conditioning installation.

New units are often more energy efficient than older ones, which means you can make up the purchase price in reduced energy bills. New air conditioners may also do a better job of dehumidifying your indoor air, keeping things dry and comfortable inside.

Air Ducts

You probably do not think much about the air duct, or ductwork, system in your West Des Moines, home. After all, it sits quietly behind your walls out of sight and, therefore, out of mind, as you go about your daily business. However, your air duct system operates like your house’s circulatory system, working tirelessly day and night taking cooled or heated air to every room in your home and returning air back to your heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) system.

Unfortunately, many air duct systems are not working at peak efficiency in most homes, which means uneven temperature distribution, regular discomfort, and wasted energy. The professionals at Best Heating, Cooling & Electric want to help you fix that problem.

It is a good idea to have your air duct system inspected to identify where you might have leaks as well as where increased insulation may be needed. In addition, our trained professionals can help you balance the distribution of your heating and cooling with alternative solutions. These solutions work well if you have registers located in poorly located spots in a room or if the number of registers is unbalanced through your home.

By calling Best Heating, Cooling & Electric at (515) 582-8015, you will be taking the first step to increasing the comfort of your home as well as reducing your energy bills for the long term. Do not neglect your home’s circulatory system. Make the investment in a ductwork inspection, repair, and maintenance. Request air duct service online today.

Ductless Systems

If you have regular battles over the thermostat setting in your house, you may want to consider investing in a ductless heating and cooling system for particular rooms in your West Des Moines home. Ductless systems work by providing climate control to a particular room or space.

Since ductless systems do not use your Iowa home’s ductwork system, you can save the energy often lost while heated and cooled air travels from room to room via air ducts. In addition, only a small hole connecting the indoor and outdoor units is required in order to install a unit, which makes installations very straightforward.

Our team at Best Heating, Cooling & Electric recommends installing a ductless unit in spare rooms such as sun porches or attic bedrooms as well as in rooms where family members might prefer different temperatures. A ductless system can help balance heating and cooling throughout your home as well.

Compared with traditional heating and cooling systems, the upfront costs associated with a ductless may be a bit more. You will recoup some of the cost through reduced energy bills, so don’t let this prevent you from exploring this option if you are interested.

Call Best Heating, Cooling & Electric at (515) 582-8015 to gather additional information about ductless units to see if they might be right for your home. Request ductless system service online today.

Electrical

From time to time, you may need to hire an electrician to address problems or expansions in your West Des Moines home. Best Heating, Cooling & Electric provides professional electricians to add indoor or outdoor lights, security systems, or smart home devices. In addition, we can help install, repair, or upgrade electrical services including generators, wiring, or circuit board panels.

In today’s highly technological world, there are many gadgets, tools, and systems designed to make life easier in your Iowa home. Adding one or two new electronic toys may not have an effect on your electrical system, but when you start installing major entertainment systems, house-wide smart devices, or other such technology, you want to make sure you are not overloading your electrical system.

Our trained electricians can come out and inspect your current wiring and circuit board system, as well as your planned additions to help you scale your system so it can handle the new electrical load. Once you understand your capacity, you can consider items such as generators, outdoor flood lighting, or home security systems.

Occasionally, you may require general maintenance or repairs on your electrical system. It’s important to rely on a professional to make sure the work is performed safely and effectively while meeting building codes.

Whenever you require electrical services, call Best Heating, Cooling & Electric at (515) 582-8015. Our licensed electricians will be happy to evaluate your situation and answer any questions you might have. Request electrical service online today.

Furnaces

When the mercury falls here in Iowa, you will want a reliable and functioning furnace to keep your home warm. If you happen to be building a new home or creating a large addition, you may be looking for the best heating solution to install. Owners of older homes may need to replace aging furnaces to gain efficiency or eliminate costly repairs.

Although furnaces have been around for a century, there are many different designs, fuel sources, and sizes available today. Sorting through all the features, price points, sizes, and designs can be overwhelming. Our team at Best Heating, Cooling & Electric can go over all the different furnace options available on the market today to help you make the best decision for your budget and lifestyle.

Our trained professionals can look at your West Des Moines home’s size, design layout, and construction material, as well as the local climate, to recommend the optimum furnace for your situation. It’s important you select the proper sized furnace to generate enough heat on extremely cold days while not wasting energy on a regular basis.

Once you invest in a new furnace, it’s important to maintain it regularly to keep it up and running year after year. Solid maintenance will also help you extend the life of your new investment.

Geothermal Heat Pumps

Reevaluating your heating and cooling system can seem to be a fruitless exercise between units that all seem the same. Heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems may appear to promise the same things at roughly the same costs. Why change something that worked in the past in your West Des Moines home?

Depending on your home and location, a residential geothermal heat pump could dramatically cut your energy costs, ramp up your home efficiency, and reduce your home’s noise levels. These innovative units transfer heat from the ground where the temperatures do not fluctuate as much into your home. This unique setup leverages clean, renewable energy in ways that are simple to use on an everyday basis.

Before you fall in love with the idea of a geothermal system, be sure that your Iowa home is able to have one installed. This is highly dependent on location. In addition, geothermal systems may require a higher initial investment depending on your needs.

However, generally speaking, a geothermal heating and cooling system will cost much less to maintain and use than other HVAC options. If you purchase a geothermal furnace that also functions as a water heater, you may save even more. Remember to take into account your long-term goals and plan accordingly.

Our qualified professionals at Best Heating, Cooling & Electric are ready and waiting to help you decide what is best for your needs—give us a call at (515) 582-8015. Request geothermal heat pump service online today

Heat Pumps

Heat pumps are an energy-efficient alternative to conventionally heating and cooling your West Des Moines home. Instead of creating their own heat to warm up your home, heat pumps simply take heat from outside and pump it into your indoor space in the winter. During the hot summer months, the heat pump does the opposite: it pumps the heat from inside your home to outside, resulting in a cooler indoor climate.

Heat pumps are an efficient and cost-effective way to provide the heating and cooling you need in Iowa. In some cases, heat pumps may cost much less than what you would be paying to run a conventional heating and cooling system.

Talk with us at Best Heating, Cooling & Electric to learn about air-source heat pumps, which are the most common type of heat pump. These typically use much less electricity than is required by furnaces and baseboard heating options.

Although heat pumps were originally designed for homes in moderate climates, developments in technology have made heat pumps great options for homes in colder climates as well. Ask us about ductless, or mini-split, heat pumps. They are perfect for homes without ductwork.

Call our team of professionals at Best Heating, Cooling & Electric at (515) 582-8015 . Our heating and cooling experts can provide additional information about heat pumps and help you determine if they would be a good solution for your home. Request heat pump service online today.

Indoor Air Quality

As a society, most of us stay indoors the majority of the time. That’s why having good indoor air quality is more important than ever. Our professionals at Best Heating, Cooling & Electric want to be sure your Iowa home provides a healthy environment for you and your family. Our testing and remediation services can help you check your air quality and improve it.

Poor indoor air quality can result from a host of things including dust, pet dander, smoking, and viruses. In addition, cleaning products, paint, or carpet can release chemicals that can negatively affect indoor air quality.

Long-term exposure to poor air quality may mean increased health problems or daily discomfort. If you are struggling with fatigue, respiratory distress, or ongoing allergies, you may be subject to indoor air quality issues.

Our experienced professionals can test the quality of your West Des Moines indoor air. If they discover potential issues, they may recommend things like cleaning your air ducts, changing your air filters, or installing an air purifier. They can also check for things like deadly carbon monoxide leaks.

If you have recently noticed your heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) system struggling to combat Mother Nature’s extreme temperatures in Iowa, you might want to consider calling for HVAC maintenance.

Water Heaters

You may have had to deal with the unfortunate cold shower or the inability to run your dishwasher or laundry at the time you wanted to do it. The hot water you wanted was simply not there. Today, your options range far and wide to be sure your hot water needs can be met. Two major types of residential HVAC water heater are on the market today: tank and tankless.

Tank water heaters are still the most common, particularly in older homes. These are the type that may have run out of hot water while in use in the past in your Iowa home. Generally, these are heated by electricity, oil, or gas.

On the other hand, tankless water heaters heat up water exactly when you want it, on demand, regardless of how much or how little you need. You are also freed from the necessity of continually heating a large tank of water in your West Des Moines home. In addition to using traditional energy means to fuel these heaters, they can also utilize other alternative sources of energy such as geothermal, solar, and more.

When you are ready to update your home’s water heating solutions, whether it is a replacement, repair, or maintenance, our team at Best Heating, Cooling & Electric is always here for you—give us a call at (515) 582-8015. Request water heater service online today.

Whole-House Dehumidifiers

It is easy to notice heating and cooling problems when they are obvious. Dripping walls and broken units get attention fast. However, lesser problems such as excess humidity can get ignored your Iowa home. What should you know about humidity in your home and when is it time to do something about it?

When the summer hits, humidity levels tend to rise with the heat. This creates an environment where allergens thrive. Mold and mildew can also start creeping into your West Des Moines home. One of the best ways to combat these irritants is by investing in a whole-house dehumidifier.

Whole-house dehumidifiers work together with your heating and cooling system to remove excess moisture. In addition to preventing mold, mildew and allergens, they can also keep your home cooler, reduce your heating and cooling costs, and remove dust from your home before it settles throughout the house. If you have pets, it can help with the dander as well.

Maybe you can’t shake a series of colds that has been plaguing you all winter or the air feels sharp when you breathe. All these and more are symptoms of low humidity in Iowa homes.

Zone Control Systems

Have you ever envisioned imaginary dollar bills just floating out of your home when you think about cooling or heating rooms not in use? This is actually what figuratively happens when there are specific parts of your West Des Moines home you don not use much but still heat and cool. Ideally, the rooms you are currently using are comfortable while the rest of your home is conserving energy. Up until recently, that was a difficult goal to achieve.

However, zone control systems are available today that allow you to do a better job of customizing your temperatures. Part of your heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) system, a zone control system allows you to operate several thermostats, each controlling the temperature of a different zone of your home. A zone control system automatically opens and closes the appropriate dampers to direct heating or cooling just where you want it in your Iowa home.

Our team at Best Heating, Cooling & Electric can provide more details and share the cost savings you can expect by installing a zone control system. Our trained professionals are well-versed in how to properly install, repair, and maintain a zone control system so it works effectively with your current HVAC system.
