Expert Repair, Replacement, and Maintenance for Rooftop Units in Des Moines
A rooftop unit plays a big part in how a building feels day to day. When it runs well, customers stay comfortable, equipment stays protected, and employees can focus on their work. When it starts to struggle, the temperature shifts quickly and the building reacts with it. That is something homeowners notice right away, especially during Iowa’s hot summers and long winter cold snaps.
Green’s Appliance, Heating & Cooling has been helping Des Moines homeowners stay ahead of these problems for more than six decades. The company first opened its doors in 1958 and has grown with the city’s community. That experience shapes every repair, replacement, and maintenance call, and it gives local building owners a team they know they can count on.

Rooftop units require a level of care that goes beyond standard heating and cooling. They manage larger areas, run longer hours, and face Iowa weather on a roof with no protection. Green's technicians train specifically on these systems so they understand how each component affects the rest of the equipment.
A few things that set the team apart include:
Specialized knowledge
Technicians work on rooftop units every day. They understand multizone setups, economizers, control boards, and the extra strain Iowa’s climate puts on rooftop equipment.

24/7 Emergency Rooftop Unit Repair
A rooftop unit rarely waits for a convenient time to fail. That is why Green’s offers around-the-clock emergency service throughout Des Moines. If temperatures rise or fall inside the building, it can affect customers, equipment, refrigeration, and product inventory.
Rooftop unit repairs often involve issues like:
- Compressor failure or refrigerant leaks
- Economizers that stop opening or close at the wrong time
- Thermostat or zone control problems
- Loud vibration or shaking from worn parts
- Condensate line clogs or drain pan issues
Each service call begins with a clear diagnostic process so the homeowner knows exactly what is happening inside the unit. Once the problem is identified, pricing is explained upfront with no surprises. The goal is to get the building back to stable temperatures as quickly as possible.
High-Efficiency Rooftop Unit Installation
Even well-maintained equipment eventually reaches a point where repairs are no longer the best option. Rooftop units run through heavy yearly cycles in Iowa, and age takes its toll. When a system becomes unreliable or expensive to operate, replacement becomes the better long-term choice.
Some signs that a home may need a new rooftop unit include:
- Frequent breakdowns
- Higher utility bills without a clear cause
- Uneven temperatures throughout the building
- Rising repair costs
- Equipment age nearing the end of its expected lifespan
Green’s Appliance, Heating & Cooling follows a detailed installation process to match each building with the right system.
Load calculation
The team measures the building’s size, layout, and usage to determine the correct rooftop unit capacity. Oversized or undersized units raise energy costs and create comfort issues.
System selection
Technicians help homeowners compare high-efficiency options, including variable speed equipment, modulating compressors, and upgraded controls.
Professional rigging and installation
Rooftop units require careful removal and placement. Green’s coordinates rigging, transport, and installation with safety and expert precision.
Financing
Financing options are available for companies that want predictable monthly payments.
Protect Your Investment with Maintenance Plans
Rooftop units sit in some of the harshest conditions a piece of HVAC equipment can face. Summer heat, winter winds, and year-round exposure break down internal components faster than indoor systems. Routine maintenance is the key to reducing downtime and extending equipment life.
Maintenance visits may include:
- Checking belts, bearings, and moving parts
- Cleaning coils and internal components
- Verifying refrigerant levels
- Inspecting electrical connections
- Testing safety controls and zone dampers
