About the Company

Meet the Midwest Comfort team

Family-owned, family-operated, and staffed by pros who live in the neighborhoods they serve. Nine team members strong — most named in Google reviews by first name.

Since 2007

A one-man shop that stayed a family business

Brian Stenger started Midwest Comfort out of his garage in 2007 after nearly three decades working in the Des Moines HVAC trade. Nineteen years later, his son Jordan runs day-to-day operations as General Manager, and the crew has grown to nine — enough to handle real install work across the metro while still small enough that every customer talks to someone who knows their system. Everyone below is a real person on the payroll (not stock photos), and every bio is pulled from what they've said about themselves publicly on the legacy site.

Brian Stenger

Owner

Brian grew up in the Beaverdale neighborhood of Des Moines and graduated from Hoover High School. He has nearly three decades of experience in all things heating and cooling. Brian has seen and done it all while working throughout the metro for different HVAC service providers and decided to begin Midwest Comfort in 2007. From a one-man shop out of Brian's garage at home, Midwest Comfort has grown to a full service and installation team that has served thousands of customers across the Des Moines area for over 15 years. Brian's vision for Midwest Comfort has never wavered: doing right by his customers and demanding excellence from himself and every member of the staff.

Why the team looks like this

Local techs, mentioned by name in customer reviews

When you see "Josh was here today, job done" or "Eli showed up at my house at 9AM and was gone by 9:30" in a Google review of Midwest Comfort, those are these techs. Nine people is enough to answer emergency calls and cover installs across the 23-city radius, and small enough that Brian and Jordan still know every job going out.

The team in numbers

  • 9 people — leadership, management, service, and installation
  • 2 generations of Stenger family ownership since 2007
  • Combined experience of 50+ years in the Des Moines HVAC trade
  • Every bio on this page is pulled from the client's own live site
