At Lazer Home Services, a new air conditioner goes in right the first time: correct sizing, precise refrigerant charging, and clean airflow setup, handled by licensed, insured technicians and backed by our 100% Satisfaction Guarantee. A system installed that carefully rarely asks for much, but if yours ever does, the same team handles your Des Moines AC repair.

If your unit is over 10-15 years old, or if you notice any of these AC warning signs, replacing your system often makes more sense than another repair:
• Frequent or escalating repairs
• Rising energy bills and uneven cooling
• A system still running older refrigerant
Older refrigerant is getting costlier to service every year, so planning the upgrade before a mid-summer breakdown lets you choose the right system on your terms. Call (515) 212-6042 to explore your options, and to request a free AC installation estimate.

What Goes Into a Proper AC Installation?

A successful AC installation depends on more than the equipment itself. Here are three factors our technicians address to make sure your new system performs in the Des Moines climate.

An oversized or undersized unit cools unevenly, cycles too often, and struggles with humidity. We calculate the right capacity for your home so your new system runs efficiently and comfortably. A right-sized system also manages humidity properly, which matters as much as temperature during a muggy Iowa summer.

Leaky or undersized ducts undermine even the best new air conditioner. We inspect your ductwork and address airflow issues so your investment delivers the comfort it should. Sealing and correcting ducts before installation protects the efficiency you are paying for in the new equipment.

Des Moines requires a mechanical permit for new installations, and proper code compliance protects your home and your warranty. As licensed contractors, we handle the permitting and install to Iowa code. Because Polk County and the City of Des Moines require licensed contractors to pull mechanical permits and schedule inspections, choosing a properly licensed installer protects both your safety and the resale value of your home.
