AC Installation Technical Guide for Henderson
Why Proper Sizing Is Non-Negotiable in the Desert
Manual J load calculations account for more than square footage. In the Las Vegas valley, we factor in western-facing glass exposure (which can add 30% to cooling load), ceiling height, insulation R-values, duct leakage rates, and the number of occupants. An oversized system short-cycles, never properly dehumidifies, and wears out faster. An undersized system runs continuously on 115°F days without reaching setpoint. Proper sizing hits the sweet spot: the system runs long enough to dehumidify and distribute air evenly while still reaching temperature.
Installation Quality Markers That Matter
- Refrigerant charge verification — We weigh in refrigerant to manufacturer specs rather than relying on "feel" or sight glass alone. Proper charge affects both efficiency and compressor longevity.
- Airflow measurement — We measure CFM per ton (typically 350-400 CFM/ton) at the air handler to confirm the blower speed, duct sizing, and filter setup deliver correct airflow.
- Line set integrity — Copper line sets are pressure-tested with nitrogen before charging, and all connections are leak-checked with electronic detectors, not just soap bubbles.
- Condensate management — We install secondary drain pans and float switches where required by code, and verify primary drain slope prevents standing water that breeds algae.
Henderson Neighborhood Cooling Profile
From a cooling perspective, Henderson's 1950s to present housing stock creates a range of AC system types and ages that our technicians navigate daily. At 1867 feet elevation (2-5°F cooler than valley floor), cooling demands vary by neighborhood and construction era.
- Water Street District (1950s-1970s original Henderson homes) — Older 8-10 SEER systems, many still on R-22. Undersized units common in original construction. Window units supplementing inadequate central systems.
- MacDonald Ranch (2000s custom and semi-custom homes) — 13-14 SEER split systems now 15-20+ years old. Larger homes often have dual-zone systems with independent condensers.
- Cadence (2015-present new construction) — 14-16+ SEER systems with modern refrigerants. Energy-efficient construction with tighter building envelopes.
Where We Serve in Henderson
We serve Henderson neighborhoods including Water Street District, Inspirada, Cadence, MacDonald Ranch, Mission Hills, and McCullough Hills and surrounding communities.
Why do Henderson homes have so many different HVAC system ages?
Henderson's development spans from the 1950s (Water Street) through today (Cadence), creating a 70+ year construction range — the widest in the valley. This means our technicians encounter everything from original R-22 systems to modern smart HVAC on Henderson calls.
Does Henderson's elevation affect my HVAC system?
Yes. Henderson sits at 1,867 feet with some areas reaching 3,000+ feet. Higher-elevation areas like Anthem and Seven Hills are 5-8°F cooler than the valley floor, meaning shorter AC seasons but colder winters that put more demand on heating systems.
AC Installation Priorities for Henderson Homes
Choosing the right AC system for a Henderson home means matching tonnage, SEER rating, and airflow design to the specific construction and sun exposure of your property. Henderson spans over 70 years of construction from 1950s Water Street bungalows to 2020s Cadence smart homes, creating the most diverse AC equipment landscape in the valley. In a single service day, our Henderson trucks encounter vintage R-22 systems, mid-era R-410A units, and brand-new variable-speed communicating systems — each requiring different diagnostic approaches, parts inventories, and technical expertise. Henderson's slightly higher elevation (1,867 ft) provides 2-5°F of relief compared to the valley floor, which factors into our load calculations and system recommendations.
