About the Contractor
Baxter Heating & Air has served central Iowa from its Baxter, Iowa headquarters since 1928 — a nearly 100-year-old family business now under fourth-generation ownership. Louis 'Louie' DeJong purchased the original Baxter Oil Company in 1928; his great-grandson Dylan DeJong (4th generation) acquired the business in 2024. The company expanded into HVAC in the 1980s and rebranded from Baxter Comfort Solutions to Baxter Heating & Air in March 2025. The firm is an IGSHPA-certified geothermal contractor and authorized ClimateMaster dealer, installing geothermal heat pumps across the 33+ communities of Iowa's 'golden circle' between Ames, Des Moines, Newton, and Marshalltown. A secondary office is maintained in Ankeny. Technicians are factory-trained in geothermal service and installation; the company holds Iowa contractor license #50014 and is SAVE-certified by Alliant Energy.
