Heating and cooling in Iowa City that names the price first.
We handle heating and cooling for Iowa City homes - furnace repair, AC repair, new systems, and tune-ups. You get the price in writing before any work starts. If the fix can wait until Tuesday, we'll say so. Call (319) 344-2252 and talk to a person.
01 · What we do
Heating and cooling, handled.
Eight jobs, done plainly. Every one starts with a diagnosis and a written price, and ends with you deciding.
AC repair & service
Iowa summers are short but humid. We get your cooling back and tell you honestly if the unit has another season in it.
AC repair in Iowa City → 02Furnace & heating repair
No heat in January is not a small thing here. We find the fault, show you the part, and give you the price before we touch a wrench.
Furnace repair in Iowa City → 03Installation & replacement
We measure the house, not the sticker on the old unit. You get a written quote with options, and nobody sells you the biggest box.
Replacement quotes → 04Indoor air quality
Filters, humidity, and the stuffy-room problem. Small fixes here change how the whole house feels in February.
Air quality help → 05Mini splits & ductless
The right answer for additions, attic rooms, and older houses without ductwork. Quiet, efficient, and zoned room by room.
Ductless options → 06Maintenance & tune-ups
One visit each fall and spring. Small problems caught early are the cheapest heat you will ever buy.
Tune-ups → 07Geothermal
Ground-source heating and cooling, honestly assessed - lot, ducts, and budget - before anyone digs.
Geothermal quotes → 08Duct work & duct cleaning
Leaks sealed, airflow balanced, and an honest answer on whether cleaning will actually help.
Duct help → 09Heat pumps
One system that heats and cools by moving heat. Ducted swaps for a tired AC, ductless for the rooms the ducts never reached, sized for our winters.
Heat pumps in Iowa City → 10Dryer vent cleaning
The lint packed into the duct behind your dryer, cleared from the full run. It slows drying, wastes energy, and is a known fire risk.
Dryer vent cleaning →02 · A college town
More than half of Iowa City rents. We work both sides of that.
If you're a tenant: call us anyway. In most rentals the owner has to approve the repair, so we'll help you reach your landlord fast and put the diagnosis in writing. You stay warm; nobody argues about what the tech said.
If you own units: only 46.3% of occupied homes here are owner-occupied, per Census Bureau housing data - this market runs on landlords and property managers. One contact, a clear invoice per unit, and honest repair-or-replace calls so you're not buying the same furnace twice.
"You'll know the price before we start. If the furnace has two more winters in it, you'll know that too."
03 · How it works
From phone call to fixed.
Tell us what the house is doing
Call or send the form. A person answers, asks a few questions, and tells you honestly whether it's an emergency or it can wait.
We diagnose it and price it
We come out, find the fault, and show you the part. You get one price, in writing, before any work.
You decide
Fix it, replace it, or wait - we'll tell you which one we'd pick in our own house. If you say no, that's fine.
04 · Where we work
Iowa City. Only Iowa City.
One town, known well. No satellite crews, no long drives, no "we'll be in your area Thursday." If your house needs HVAC in Iowa City, you're in our service area - every block of it.
05 · Questions
Asked often.
01Do I need a permit to replace a furnace in Iowa City?
+
Yes. The city requires a mechanical permit for a new furnace, and the contractor doing the work must hold a State of Iowa license. We pull the permit and schedule the inspection as part of the job, so you never have to think about it.
02I rent, and the furnace just died. What do I do?
+
Call us either way. In most Iowa City rentals the landlord has to approve the repair, so we'll help you reach them and put the diagnosis in writing. Landlords get the same straight price we'd give you standing in the basement.
03Should I repair my furnace or replace it?
+
Age decides most of it. Furnaces last about 15 to 20 years. If yours is younger and the part is cheap, fix it. If it's older and the repair is big, we'll price both paths and tell you which one we'd choose ourselves.
04How fast can you get here?
+
We answer the phone 24 hours a day, so you always reach a person. When you call we'll tell you honestly whether your problem needs someone tonight or can safely wait until Tuesday, and what to do in the meantime.
05What does a repair cost?
+
It depends on the part, so we won't guess on the phone. You get a firm price in writing after we diagnose it, before any work starts. No surprise line items, and no charge for saying no.
06What does a new HVAC system cost to install?
+
It depends on the house - size, ductwork, and what you pick. We measure the house first, then give you a written quote with options from good to best. A number over the phone would just be a guess, and a guess helps nobody.
07Do you only work in Iowa City?
+
Yes, on purpose. Staying inside Iowa City means short drives and techs who know the local housing stock. If you're just outside the city line, call and we'll tell you straight.
