Locally based in Des Moines — short drives to Des Moines, West Des Moines, Ankeny, and nearby communities.
A furnace that won't light on a January morning in Des Moines isn't an inconvenience — it's an emergency. Hendricks & Sons Heating and Air exists for those moments, and for the quiet Saturday when you finally get around to that duct cleaning you've been putting off.
We're a shop, not a call center. You'll talk to a real person, get a real window of arrival, and a written estimate before any work starts. Heating, cooling, ducts, heat pumps, mini splits, thermostats — if it moves air through your home, we work on it.
Cold air blowing when it should be warm? A furnace that short-cycles, rattles through the night, or won't light at all can leave a Des Moines home unsafe in hours. We diagnose ignition, blower, flame sensor, and heat exchanger faults on the visit — most repairs completed with parts stocked for the carrier, Trane, Lennox, and Rheem units common across central Iowa.
When the July humidity hits and the air conditioner stops cooling, the thermostat climbs fast. We trace refrigerant levels, capacitor health, compressor draw, coil airflow, and clogged drains to find the real cause — not just the symptom. Honest assessment, written estimate, and a fix that lasts through the whole Iowa cooling season, not just until the next heat wave.
Priority response for when the heat quits in January or the AC dies in August. Hendricks & Sons Heating and Air keeps urgent slots open during business hours for homes with no heat, no cooling, or a safety concern like a furnace emitting unusual odors. Call ahead — we'll tell you honestly whether you need a visit or a next-morning slot and what to do in the meantime.
Heat pumps earn their keep in Iowa's swing seasons, but a stuck reversing valve or icing outdoor coil cuts both heating and cooling at once. Our technicians service all major residential heat pump brands — diagnosing defrost cycles, refrigerant charge, aux heat staging, and airflow — so your system heats efficiently at 30°F and cools cleanly at 95°F without surprise jumps in the utility bill.
Finished basement, three-season porch, or that one bedroom over the garage that never quite catches up — ductless mini splits deliver targeted comfort without touching the main system. We size the unit to the room, run clean line sets, mount indoor and outdoor units properly, and balance airflow across zones so an addition in West Des Moines or Ankeny stays comfortable year-round.
Dusty registers, musty smells when the blower kicks on, or a house that never feels truly clean — long-neglected duct runs circulate the same debris season after season. Our duct cleaning service clears restricted supply and return lines, removes the buildup behind every register, and verifies airflow at each vent so the air moving through your home is actually the air you want to breathe.
“Fast, fair, and tidy.”
“Second time using them.”
“Honest outfit.”
“Quick response when I called about indoor air quality.”
