Common systems in Des Moines.
Heat pumps
Because MidAmerican Energy's electric rates are relatively low, pairing a cold-climate heat pump with a gas furnace (dual-fuel) is a smart long-term savings play in Des Moines.
AC replacement
A two-stage high-SEER2 central AC strips out sticky July humidity across Beaverdale bungalows and Ankeny two-stories alike.

Common questions in Des Moines.
How do MidAmerican Energy rebates work for Des Moines homeowners?
MidAmerican Energy offers residential rebates when you upgrade to a qualifying natural gas furnace, central air conditioner, air-source heat pump, or smart thermostat. Because MidAmerican supplies both gas and electric in Des Moines, replacing a furnace and AC (or heat pump) together lets you capture incentives on both sides.
My Beaverdale home has a finished attic dormer that's freezing in winter and hot in summer—what fixes that?
Classic Beaverdale brick Tudors and 1.5-story bungalows often have long, narrow duct runs feeding the upstairs level. Pairing a variable-speed furnace blower with proper balancing—or installing a single-zone ductless mini-split in the upper level—keeps the top floor comfortable year-round.
Does Etho Home handle mechanical permits in Des Moines, Ankeny, and West Des Moines?
Yes. Each city in the Des Moines metro enforces its own mechanical permit and inspection process. Our licensed local partner crews pull the required permit and coordinate the inspection for you.
