72 Degrees Heating, Cooling, Plumbing & Electrical

72 Degrees Heating, Cooling, Plumbing & Electrical is a multi-trade contractor based in Ankeny, Iowa, serving homeowners across the Des Moines metro including Ankeny, Des Moines, Urbandale, Waukee, and Clive. Across 680 verified reviews the company holds a 4.9-star average rating, a volume that reflects years of sustained work in central Iowa. The crew operates around the clock, every day of the week, a scheduling structure that means a heating failure at 11 p.m. on a Tuesday or a Sunday afternoon gets the same response as a weekday call. Furnace and air conditioning replacement accounts for a significant share of the workload, though the company also maintains licenses across plumbing and electrical, giving one crew the ability to address related infrastructure without a separate referral.

What separates 72 Degrees from contractors who list generic services is the transparency visible in customer interactions. Shanelle Albright noted that prices were presented as clearly labeled packages with distinct tiers, allowing her to weigh options without navigating a sales pitch. The company offers straightforward financing and extends a discount for customers who pay the full invoice upfront. These details, confirmed across multiple reviews, suggest a pricing culture that favors clarity over complexity. The same straightforward approach applies to the emergency response framework: crews arrive prepared to evaluate and scope a full replacement rather than a temporary patch.

Shanelle Albright lost her AC on the hottest day of the year and the company sent technicians the same day. Crew members Luke, Micki, and Matt handled the furnace and AC replacement end to end, managing a 14-year-old system that would have required significant repairs. The reviewer noted the crew made what was an extremely frustrating situation feel manageable. Another reviewer, Dave Betcher, needed diagnostic work on a gas fireplace in his basement. Technician Bryce arrived on time, identified the specific part failure, and communicated both the repair timeline and the parts sourcing without delays. These scenarios illustrate a company whose 24-hour availability connects directly to real-time customer need rather than serving as a marketing claim.
