Request a free HVAC second opinion

Request a licensed second opinion on an HVAC replacement quote you got from another company. Real measurements, honest verdict — from Midwest Comfort in Des Moines, IA.

Definition

Another company quoted a replacement. Get a second set of measurements before you sign.

A licensed Midwest Comfort technician looks at the same equipment with real tools and tells you what they see. If the first quote holds up, we say so. If it doesn't, you just saved several thousand dollars.

What we actually do

Read the first quote

We look at what was diagnosed and what was recommended — in writing, on the record.

Test the equipment

Real meters, real numbers on paper: refrigerant pressures, static pressure, capacitor microfarads, combustion analysis where relevant.

Show you the readings

Not 'we think it's fine' — the actual meter, the actual number, and how it compares to the manufacturer spec.

Give you the shortest honest path

Sometimes it's confirming the first quote, sometimes it's a $200 repair instead of a $10,000 replacement, sometimes it's a targeted fix. You get options in writing.

Common questions

What do I bring or share? +

The other company's written quote if you have it, plus the age of the current equipment and any specific comfort complaints. If you don't have the written quote, that's still fine — bring what you were told.

How long does the visit take? +

Usually 45-60 minutes. We test the equipment with real meters (refrigerant pressures, static pressure, capacitor readings, combustion analysis on gas equipment) and walk you through what we find.

Do you charge for the visit? +

The second-opinion visit itself is free. If you approve a repair while we're on-site, standard shop rates apply from that point. If you decide to stick with the first company's plan, we go home — no fee, no follow-up pressure calls.

What if you agree with the first company? +

We tell you so, honestly. That's the whole point of a real second opinion — sometimes the first quote was right, and knowing that saves you second-guessing the decision.
