A SYSTEM SIZED FOR YOUR HOME
Since 2023, every new central air conditioner sold in the United States must meet SEER2 minimum efficiency standards, and the right unit for your home depends on a real load calculation, not a guess based on square footage. Encore Heating and Air sizes every system with a Manual J load calculation so you do not pay for capacity you do not need or struggle with a unit that is too small for a humid Midwest summer. With more than 20 years installing residential and commercial cooling, we walk you through the options, the efficiency ratings, and the long term cost before you commit. Schedule online for a free in home consultation and a written quote.
Right Sized Systems
Every install starts with a Manual J load calculation, so the system matches your home.
High Efficiency Options
We help you compare SEER2 ratings and energy savings over the life of the unit.
Clean Installation
Tidy, code compliant work and a full system test before we leave.
COMMON REASONS TO INSTALL OR REPLACE
Aging System
Units past 12 to 15 years lose efficiency and parts get harder to source. A new system pays back in lower bills.
Rising Repair Costs
When repair bills stack up, replacement is often the better long term value. We give you an honest comparison.
Efficiency Upgrade
Moving to a high efficiency SEER2 system lowers energy use and improves comfort.
OUR INSTALLATION PROCESS
In Home Assessment
We measure the space, inspect ductwork, and review your comfort goals.
Manual J Load Calculation
We calculate the true cooling load so the equipment is sized correctly.
System Recommendation and Written Quote
You receive clear options and a written price with no pressure.
Professional Installation
Licensed technicians install, charge, and commission the system to manufacturer specification.
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!

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!

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.
Do you offer financing?
Yes. Encore Heating and Air offers financing options, and Happy Home Club members receive additional savings.
