EFFICIENT COMFORT, EVEN IN THE COLD
A heat pump heats and cools with one system, and today’s cold climate models keep delivering heat at temperatures that would have stopped older units. The key in Minnesota is a smart backup or dual fuel strategy, pairing the heat pump with a furnace or electric heat so you stay comfortable on the coldest days while cutting energy use the rest of the year. Encore Heating and Air sizes, installs, and services heat pumps with attention to HSPF2 efficiency and the right backup plan. With more than 20 years of HVAC experience, we design the system around our climate. Schedule online.

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!

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.
Sarah did my most recent furnace tune up and she was great too!
She offered to pick up a coffee for me on her way. I thought that was awesome!
