Question Answers

Why is my Des Moines home's heat pump struggling to keep up, and what can be done?

In our Iowa climate, heat pumps can lose efficiency due to refrigerant issues, dirty coils, or incorrect thermostat settings, especially during temperature swings. Mitchell-West technicians perform comprehensive efficiency diagnostics, checking charge levels, cleaning components, and calibrating your system to restore optimal heating and cooling performance, helping lower your energy bills.

How often should I change my air filter in Des Moines to prevent HVAC problems?

With local dust and allergens, we recommend checking your filter monthly and replacing standard 1-inch filters every 1-3 months. A clogged filter forces your system to work harder, reducing efficiency and potentially causing breakdowns. During our maintenance visits, we always check and can replace your filter, ensuring proper airflow and protecting your equipment.

What does a professional HVAC maintenance visit include to address these common issues?

Our Des Moines-focused maintenance tune-up is designed to prevent the issues you face. We thoroughly clean heat pump coils for maximum efficiency, inspect and calibrate electrical components, check refrigerant levels, clean drain lines, and of course, replace your air filter. This proactive service improves performance, extends system life, and helps avoid costly emergency repairs.
