Air Conditioning Services in Ankeny, Des Moines & Central Iowa

Iowa summers are not gentle. From late June through August, the combination of heat and humidity puts sustained pressure on residential cooling systems across the Des Moines metro and the surrounding communities. When your air conditioner is working the way it should, you do not notice it. When it is not, you notice immediately.

​

72 Degrees Comfort Company has been the trusted name for home comfort in central Iowa since 1992. We provide the full range of residential air conditioning services across Ankeny, Des Moines, Ames, Johnston, and beyond, we provide the full range of residential air conditioning services, from emergency repairs on the hottest day of the year to new system installations built to run efficiently for the next 15 years.

 

What We Do

 

72 Degrees is a full-service air conditioning company. Whether you need a fast repair, a new system, a tune-up before the season starts, or a solution for a space your central air cannot reach, we have the expertise, the equipment, and the experience to handle it right.

 

AC Installation & Replacement

 

When your air conditioner has reached the end of its useful life, or when repair costs no longer make financial sense, AC installation is the right next step. We perform a proper load calculation for every job, recommend equipment sized to your specific home, and install it with the care that a 15-year investment deserves. We offer access to some of the most efficient and reliable equipment available, and we service all major brands.

 

AC Repair

 

AC repair is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Our certified technicians run a thorough diagnostic on every call to find the root cause of any cooling failure, then give you a clear, honest assessment of your options before any work begins. We carry the parts to resolve most repairs on the first visit, and every repair is backed by our satisfaction guarantee.

 

AC Maintenance

 

Scheduling an AC tune-up before summer hits is one of the most cost-effective things a central Iowa homeowner can do for their cooling system. Not the most exciting way to spend money, we know... but it beats sweating through a July breakdown while you wait for a service call. A well-maintained system runs more efficiently, lasts longer, and gives us a chance to catch small problems before they turn into expensive ones.

 

Mini-Split Systems

 

Mini-split systems are the right solution for homes without ductwork, room additions, finished basements, sunrooms, or any space a central system cannot condition effectively. We install and service ductless equipment that delivers zoned, efficient, quiet cooling where you need it most.

 

Air Source Heat Pumps

 

Air source heat pumps provide both heating and cooling from a single system. For Iowa homeowners looking to reduce natural gas dependence or improve year-round efficiency, modern cold-climate heat pumps are a practical and increasingly popular option. 72 Degrees installs and services heat pump systems across central Iowa.

 

Beyond the System: Whole-Home Comfort

 

A well-functioning air conditioner is the foundation of summer comfort in a central Iowa home, but it is not the whole picture. Humidity, air quality, and temperature consistency all affect how your home actually feels when it is 95 degrees outside.

​

72 Degrees also installs and services air purification systems that remove allergens, dust, and airborne contaminants from your indoor air, as well as thermostats and zoning controls that give you precise, room-by-room management of your home's temperature. These additions work alongside your AC system to create a living environment that is genuinely comfortable, not just cooled.

 

Why Central Iowa Chooses 72 Degrees

 

The name 72 Degrees was chosen because 72 is the temperature most people consider ideal. That is not a coincidence. It is the standard we have held ourselves to since we opened our doors in Ankeny in 1992.

Over three decades of service in central Iowa, we have built our reputation on honest assessments, quality installations, and technicians who treat your home with respect. We offer free in-home quotes on new equipment and 24/7 emergency repair availability.

​
