"I’ve used Green’s many times over the past 18+ years (furnace, AC, etc.) and have always received great service. I was just at my mother’s house to let the technician in to repair her stove. They called me approximately 45 minutes ahead of time to let me know we were next up for service, and then again when the technician was on his way. They also sent me a text with an introduction to the technician (including a photo) so I would know who to look for. When Ty arrived at the door, he put booties on over his work boots to keep the carpet clean, even though I told him it wasn’t necessary. He figured out the problem quickly and gave me a price (down to the penny, including tax) for the work before replacing the igniter. He fixed the stove and even cleaned up the burners so they would work better. This company is extremely professional, and I would highly recommend them to anyone!"

"We had a good overall experience. Our request for service was not due to any observed problems with our home furnace system, nor did the contractor discover any problems during their visit. The technician performed a thorough cleaning, inspection and servicing of our furnace system. The technician was professional in his conduct and interaction with us."

"Very good communication throughout the process.  Initial consultation took almost 2 and half hours, which was a little much, but they took great effort to explain the process and educate me on options.  Installation lasted about 3 hours.  Installers were extremely polite and professional. 
After the install their was an issue that the City Inspector found with Code on the electrical breaker for the A/C unit and they came out and took care of the issue with out any additional charge or hassle.  Overall I give them a B+.  Would recommend to others.

"CHW was very responsive to our urgent need! We filed a claim the evening prior when we notices our A/C was blowing warm air into the rooms. Then by 8AM the next day, we had a call from the service technician saying he was on his way to address the issue! CHW worked with the technician to find out the compressor was the culprit and approved it's repair! Great customer service for a family in need during the hot south central Texas summer!"

"We called 3 different companies for quotes. During the process of scheduling times with companies Daughenbaugh Construction was referred to me by a close friend that had them finish their basement. So we also scheduled an appointment with them. We met all 4 .Small things that Dave told us ,"which are big things ". Like Dave pulling his tool bags out of his truck and saying I will be the man that you see everyday on site building this , I'm not a salesmen I'm a carpenter really couldn't have rang more true to us. Having used a G.C. company in the past for our own basement there was a constant lack of communication between all parties because they were all hired out and controlled by a manager that was under staffed and behind on everything. Daughenbaugh Construction went way above and beyond what we had ever experienced. Just having the owner on site everyday to discuss concerns or options made for a great experience vs having to constantly call an owner that was too busy and basically made us deal with all the contracted help ourselves and was terrible beings we are not or were not construction minded. When u see the owner Dave grab the nail gun for framing and lead his guys , to then see him install hardwood floors as a leader just to prove to you the owner he knows what he is doing and also showing his men how it should work is really a site to see. Dave will educate you the whole way on today's standards and building codes to let you know why he's doing what he's doing even when u don't even ask. He wants to teach and is one of the greatest qualities I found in this company. Don't pass up a small business that will save you money and give you the attention you deserve .

FAQs for central a/c service or repair projects in Dexter, IA

Coils work to absorb heat into the refrigerant that flows through them, moving heat from one location to another. For air conditioning, the evaporator coil inside the air handler in your home absorbs heat. It then transfers the heat outside to the condenser coil, where it releases it. The opposite process happens for heat pumps. When the coils get dusty and dirty, it reduces how well these components work.

Skip regular cleanings, and dirt, debris, and mineral deposits will blanket your evaporator and condenser coils. When that happens, the coils can’t shed heat efficiently, so the system works harder and your energy bill climbs. Over time, overheating strains the compressor and can trigger a full breakdown—an avoidable repair that often costs far more than a simple annual cleaning.

AC coil cleaning is an investment that pays for itself in the benefits it provides. Dust‑caked coils force your AC to run longer, so you spend more on electricity and rack up extra wear. A quick professional cleaning restores efficiency, trims monthly bills, and eases strain on expensive parts. Over the long haul, that small yearly fee delays pricy repairs and stretches the unit’s lifespan, making coil cleaning one of the smartest HVAC tune‑ups you can schedule.

Watch for higher electric bills, rooms that stay warm no matter how low you set the thermostat, or an AC system that runs nonstop. Extra humidity and frost on the coils are also red flags. Catching these clues early lets you schedule a quick cleaning before the system overworks itself and triggers an expensive breakdown.

Your AC cleaning technician starts by shutting off the power to the unit and removing the faceplate. Compressed air and a vacuum hose blast away loose debris, followed by a coil-safe, no-rinse cleaner that dissolves stubborn grime. After the solution has soaked in, the professional wipes the fins, reassembles the housing, and restores power, leaving the system ready to cool at peak efficiency.
