Common home type

Job constraint we check
We check duct static pressure, return air, and whether the existing furnace blower can support the new condenser. Long outdoor-to-indoor line-set runs on hillside homes that need careful refrigerant charge calculation.
Permit and paperwork
For West Linn installs, we confirm the local permit path before the job starts, pull required mechanical or electrical permits, and close out inspection paperwork.
Review/case note
On West Linn AC estimates, the quote often changes after we inspect return air and duct condition. A larger outdoor unit does not fix a duct system that cannot move enough air.

Cooling install plan
AC installs in West Linn start with airflow, not equipment tonnage.
An AC install isn't just dropping a condenser on a pad. We Manual J the home, size the line-set correctly for the run, charge refrigerant by weight to the manufacturer's spec, and verify superheat/subcool on start-up. Triple-evacuation to 500 microns before charging — the step most installers skip.
Outdoor unit on a level pad, line-set routed cleanly with proper insulation, service disconnect sized correctly, vibration pad installed. Quiet operation and long life come from getting these details right.
Manual J load
We size the cooling load before selecting condenser capacity.
Duct and return check
Static pressure and return air decide whether the new AC can breathe.
Line-set path
We confirm run length, insulation, and clean routing before the quote is final.
Start-up data
Superheat, subcool, and temperature split get verified before we leave.
