Why Proper AC Replacement Commissioning Matters—and How Reel Cool AC & Heating Delivers It Every Time

Written By Jeremy Adams

Replacing an air conditioner isn’t just about installing new equipment—it’s about ensuring that the entire system operates correctly, efficiently, and safely. That’s where commissioning comes in: a systematic quality-assurance process that verifies each component functions as intended, exactly when and how it should.

According to the ENERGY STAR® HVAC Quality Installation Guide for Version 3, every HVAC install must include a comprehensive checklist and design report, documenting airflow, duct integrity, refrigerant charge, and control sequencing—all verified against design expectations and retained for quality assurance.
