PERFORMANCE VERIFICATION AFTER INSTALLATION

What We Verify

We confirm refrigerant charge against the manufacturer target, measure supply to return temperature differential, and check airflow at every register.

Documented Startup

You receive written documentation of the startup readings, so you know the system performs to spec.

Right From Day One

We do not consider the install finished until the system meets its performance benchmark on site.

WHY PROFESSIONAL INSTALLATION MATTERS

Correct Sizing Protects Comfort

An oversized unit short cycles and leaves humidity behind, and an undersized unit never keeps up. Proper sizing is the difference.

Warranty and Code

Manufacturer warranties require professional installation, and refrigerant work is regulated by the EPA under Section 608 of the Clean Air Act.

What Our Customers Say

Don’t just take our word for it — hear from the families and homeowners we’ve proudly served.

We have been using Encore Heating & Air for many years, and they have helped us out with several projects. We have an old boiler/radiator heating system, and they have helped diagnose and repair several issues including a new pressure gauge, pressure relief valve, and expansion tank.

They also helped us figure out a creative way to get a new central AC system installed in our historic home at an affordable price. They are great to work with, know their stuff, do an amazing job, and charge reasonable prices. We highly recommend Encore Heating & Air for all your HVAC needs!

Encore Heating & Air has serviced the heating and ventilation systems across several of my properties, and they’ve been outstanding every time. Their staff is respectful, engaging, and highly professional, and they clearly have deep expertise across multiple system types.

Sarah Amundsen

Have been using Encore for 6 years now. They have great customer service and respond quickly to calls. Jon and his crew installed our furnace and AC and they did great work.

FAQs

How do I know what size AC I need?

We perform a Manual J load calculation based on your home’s size, insulation, windows, and layout. That calculation, not a rule of thumb, determines the right capacity.

What is SEER2 and why does it matter?

SEER2 is the current federal efficiency standard for cooling equipment. A higher SEER2 rating means lower energy use, which lowers your bills over the life of the system.

How long does an AC installation take?

Most residential installations are completed in one day. We confirm the timeline during your in home assessment.

Should I replace my furnace at the same time?

If your furnace is also aging, replacing both together can lower labor cost and improve total system efficiency. We give you an honest recommendation.
