About Direct Heating and Cooling LLC

Your Local Heating & Cooling Team in Altoona, Serving the Greater Des Moines Area

At Direct Heating and Cooling LLC, we believe HVAC service should be straightforward, dependable, and done with care. That’s exactly why we started this company in 2020—to offer Iowa homeowners a better option. What began as a small team with a shared vision has grown into a trusted name in Altoona and across Polk County. Our approach is simple: we treat your home the way we’d treat our own, and we do the work the right way the first time.

From the beginning, we’ve focused on building real relationships with the people we serve. Whether we’re installing a new furnace or answering a late-night emergency call, you can expect honest communication, clear pricing, and a technician who shows up ready to help. That mindset is what’s helped us earn an A rating with the Better Business Bureau—and a growing base of happy customers across Central Iowa.
