Looking for good ac/heat contractor in Des Moines

[ruxCYtable]

My mom lives in Des Moines and her AC went out yesterday. Guy came out, don't know from where, said the electrical was fried by water leaking in from unit above (still trying to determine the source for certain, that's a story for another day.)

He quoted her $1800 to fix the electrical parts but no guarantee it would work. Better off replacing the whole system for $7500. I could be wrong but I thought that sounded high for a unit serving a 1200 sf condo.

There may be insurance implications to worry about later if it was truly caused by a water leak but for now just want to get the thing fixed. Any suggestions who she should call for a second opinion?

When we lived in WDM we had good luck with Bell Brothers, but that was a long time ago.

I just had Bryant IA Heating and Cooling out of Ankeny put in a new AC unit. They did a good job and the price was about 3k less.

I had Lenz Mechanical come out and tune up my AC earlier this year. I liked them

Wyckoff put in an entirely new A/C unit at my old house about 4 years ago for around $1,600.

Des Moines Comfort. Lee Rose the owner is a great guy. They do a great job for us on all our new construction and remodeling work,

Wycoff's is all I've ever used (including for a rental). Always have been satisfied.

Wycoff for me too.

Aspen Aire and Schall. Avoid Golden Rule! Tried to cheat my mother by selling her an unnecessary "fix" for like $500. Had another vendor come in for a second opinion and they fixed it for $75 and there hasn't been any issue since. Golden Rule is a JOKE!

I was going to post the same thing: avoid golden rule like the plague

I think they were going for some ironic joke with how they named the company

I will never use golden rule again after I did. Their "upfront pricing" is terribly overpriced. We've used Service Legends for several years now including for a new furnace install and I have never had a problem with them.
