I love all that they do for me from reminding me when my service is due to providing reliable and honest feedback on my heating and A/C systems! I originally called Holt for regular service for my furnace and A/C. I had neglected to get regular service up to that time (prob.. 5+ years since serviced) and the tech came out and spent over an hour cleaning and servicing the system. He did more than expected to explain to me what the issues were with my system and made a few recommendations along with his opinion on what needed done now, soon, and what could wait, along with the cost of each service/recommendation. He also explained the companies EPA agreement, extra privilege agreement, which is a rather inexpensive monthly charge that gives me the benefit of faster response on emergency service as well as 2 annual maintenance visits where my systems are thoroughly checked, cleaned and maintained as well as furnace filters replaced at NO EXTRA CHARGE! My minimal monthly cost covers these two visits! I have made a few small updates when they have been here (digital thermostat, UV Light cleanser etc) and with my EPA agreement I have gotten discounts on each of these products that I purchased. I also had Holt do a duct cleaning where they took a ton of building materials as well as dust and pet dander out of my system! And lastly - I am having them put in a new furnace and A/C. The tech that came most recently said that my system was functioning well for being 15 years old (which I also attribute to Holt's great maintance). And although it wasn't immediately necessary I wanted to an estimate on having a new system put in so that I could have a more energy efficient system and thereby avoiding any emergencies/unplanned repairs! With the energy company rebates on new high efficiency systems and the discounts for being an EPA customer I am getting a GREAT deal and am excited to see my energy bills reduced! I will post an update when I get my next energy report card from the energy company! and FYI- I also got a couple other estimates for the system and found Holt to be a great competitive price with one coming in a little higher and another one about the same price."},"url":"https://www.angi.com/companylist/us/ia/west-des-moines/holt-plumbing-and-heating-inc-reviews-403741.htm"},"position":7},{"@type":"ListItem","item":{"@type":"LocalBusiness","name":"TIP TOP CONSTRUCTION INC","address":{"@type":"PostalAddress","addressRegion":"IA","addressCountry":"US"},"review":{"@type":"Review","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"Clay M."},"reviewBody":"During the summer of 2011, the thermostat was set at 78 degrees, but the air conditioner worked all day long and could not cool the house below 82 degrees through the hottest hours of the afternoon (2-6pm). We had been investigating various strategies for insulating the attic and saw an advertisement at Sam's Club for radiant barrier insulation installed by Tip Top Construction, a San Antonio company owned by Nick Anderson. We took the product literature home and invited a sales representative from Tip Top out to the house. He enthusiastically described all the wonderful benefits of radiant barrier insulation, explained the rebate offered by CPS Energy, included a ridge vent with the installation, and offered a discounted service contract if we "acted today." We agreed to the contract and scheduled the installation for June 2012. The two installers were very courteous and seemed to work efficiently, in spite of the miserable attic conditions.They arrived before 8am and quit shortly after noon each day before working conditions became dangerously hot. They finished the installation in about 4 days and cleaned up after each shift. They left no debris or stray staples laying around. The quality of the installation was acceptable. The insulation extends to within a foot of the eaves. Over the past year, I have had to tack up some of the staples that have pulled loose, but it seems to be holding up well. The salesman had promised a CPS Energy rebate, so we located the instructions on the CPS website and downloaded the appropriate claim forms. The claim form required detailed information about the insulation from the contractor, including the contractor's signature. It took 30 days and several phone calls to the salesman, his supervisor, and the owner, Mr. Anderson, to finally receive the completed application before the CPS deadline. Once we submitted the completed application, CPS credited our account promptly. To test whether the efficiency was as good as the Tip Top salesman claimed and establish a baseline for attic temperatures, we mounted an electronic weather station in the attic to record the hourly temperature changes while we waited for the radiant barrier installers. Peak temperatures in the attic averaged 134F the week before installation. Peak outdoor temperatures ranged from 89F to 95F. We had little cloud cover and no rain. After installation of the radiant barrier, the air conditioner was able to cool the house to 78F. Peak temperature in the attic after installation was 122F, about 12 degrees lower. We continued to track our monthly energy bills over the next 12 months to see if the product lived up to the "25% Energy Savings Guarantee or $500 refund" promised by Tip Top. We did not change the settings on the programmable thermostat to make sure the comparison was valid. One year later (June 2013), our electric and gas bills show that we saved only 8% on air conditioning, and heating costs increased 6%. I followed the instructions on the warranty certificate and included a summary of monthly CPS bills showing kWH and CCF usage to apply for a partial refund. Mr. Anderson eventually phoned me to discuss possible reasons why the radiant barrier did not generate the energy savings other customers routinely see. It is possible that the attic configuration, air circulation, or other factors reduce the effectiveness of the barrier. Nevertheless, the air conditioner is able to keep up with the thermostat during the summer months and the attic temperature is measurably cooler with the barrier. Tip Top followed through with their product guarantee by sending a refund."},"url":"https://www.angi.com/companylist/us/tx/san-antonio/tip-top-construction-inc-reviews-269842.htm"},"position":8},{"@type":"ListItem","item":{"@type":"LocalBusiness","name":"Ames Heating & Cooling Inc","address":{"@type":"PostalAddress","addressRegion":"IA","addressCountry":"US"},"review":{"@type":"Review","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"Pandora L."},"reviewBody":"After the technician came and worked on the AC unit it never worked--not even for five minutes.

Heating And Air Conditioning Service reviews from real Angi homeowners in Dallas Center, IA
Abraham and his team were a fantastic help. Their service was life changing for our family. We live in a 120 year old home that had almost no insulation in the walls. Our HVAC could never keep up on cold, windy days. The last 3 winters there were times we had to go stay elsewhere as the home...
Michael came on time. He made a THOROUGH inspection and a radon test. He opened every window, used thermal infrared camera to check the HVAC system and water damage, check the all electric outlet,... He found a leak in the furnace. He immediately knew the leak was a chronic problem. I have...

FAQs for heating and air conditioning service projects in Dallas Center, IA
Knowing how long your existing HVAC units can last is essential to determine if you need a repair or replacement. Typically, most modern air conditioning units can last between 15 to 20 years, and most furnaces can work properly for 15 to 30 years. If your HVAC system is on the older side and you decide to replace one unit, it might make sense to replace both simultaneously to save on costs and future hassle.
While different HVAC contractors might offer higher or lower prices than competitors, the best time to replace your HVAC system is when customer demand is low. The beginning of summer and the beginning of winter bring the most demand for HVAC systems, so if you can, consider replacing your HVAC units in the early spring or fall. Many HVAC companies offer special off-season coupons that help lower the overall cost.
The average cost to hire an HVAC contractor is between $50 and $150 per hour if charging hourly. However, some HVAC contractors will charge a flat fee by the type of service they are performing—for example, an inspection can cost between $150 to $500. Keep in mind that emergency repairs—which are made after business hours or around major holidays—generally cost more than scheduled repairs.
Yes, most states require HVAC technicians to be certified, and for good reason. Hiring an unlicensed HVAC technician could lead to poor quality work, costly future expenses, and potential code violations.
As you browse our pro listings, take note of the “Angi Approved” badge. Angi Approved businesses meet our standards for certification which include:
The owner, principal, or relevant manager passed a criminal background check
Required to have applicable state and local licenses
Maintain an average star rating of 3.0 or better on our network, if they have at least one review
Paying to advertise their services
Meeting any other eligibility criteria required by Angi
Keep in mind licensing is different from certifications. A license is a legal requirement to operate a business, while certifications are voluntary.
The average cost of HVAC repairs is around $350. However, that price can be as low as $100 or as high as $2,000 or more, depending on the repair. For example, replacing a capacitor is a relatively inexpensive repair, ranging from $100 to $500. However, a compressor repair is a more expensive repair, ranging from $750 to $2,000.
