Frequently Asked Questions
How often should I service my AC in Las Vegas?
At minimum once a year before the cooling season — ideally in early spring before temperatures climb. Because Southern Nevada AC systems run 9 to 10 months annually under extreme heat conditions, twice-yearly service is the more practical recommendation: once in spring before the cooling season and once in fall before the heating season. Each visit catches different failure patterns.
Why is my AC running but not cooling in Henderson?
The most common causes are low refrigerant, a dirty condenser coil, a failing compressor, or a clogged air filter restricting airflow. In Southern Nevada's heat and dust conditions, condenser coil contamination and refrigerant loss are particularly common. A diagnostic visit identifies which issue is present — don't let a technician recommend a replacement before they've ruled out a repairable cause.
How do I keep my house cool in a Las Vegas summer without running my AC constantly?
The most effective measures are sealing duct leaks that let conditioned air escape before it reaches living spaces, upgrading attic insulation to reduce heat transfer through the roof, using programmable or smart thermostats to reduce runtime during peak rate hours, and keeping condenser units clear of debris. A well-maintained system also cools more efficiently than one running with dirty coils or low refrigerant.
