Repair vs. replacement in Paradise
If your system is older, frequently breaking down, or needs a major component, replacement may be the smarter long-term option. If the issue is isolated and the system is in good overall condition, repair is often the right call.
- Repair is likely best if the system is under 10 years old and restores full performance.
- Replacement may be smarter if the repair is costly and the system is near end of life.
Quick decision guide: If your unit is 12+ years old and repair costs are 50%+ of replacement, upgrading is usually the better long-term value in Paradise.

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.
Paradise Neighborhood Cooling Profile
From a cooling perspective, Paradise's 1960s to 2000s housing stock creates a range of AC system types and ages that our technicians navigate daily. At 2000 feet elevation (Valley floor — peak urban heat island), cooling demands vary by neighborhood and construction era.
- East Tropicana / UNLV area (1960s-1980s established residential) — Older systems on R-22 in most homes. Many original condensers have been replaced but ductwork remains original. Close proximity to commercial development increases ambient heat.
- South Maryland Parkway corridor (1970s-1990s residential neighborhoods) — 10-12 SEER systems ranging from 15-30+ years old. Mix of residential and commercial properties creates varied service needs.
- Eastern Avenue / Sunset area (1980s-2000s newer sections) — 13-14 SEER systems in newer sections. Better insulation than older Paradise neighborhoods.
Does the urban heat island affect my HVAC costs in Paradise?
Yes. Paradise sits at peak urban heat island — concrete, asphalt, and commercial density amplify temperatures above surrounding areas. Your AC runs more hours per day than it would in an elevated or suburban location, increasing both energy costs and component wear.
My Paradise home has been renovated — does that affect HVAC service?
Renovated and expanded homes often have HVAC systems that no longer match the current floor plan. The original system may be undersized for added rooms, and ductwork may not reach additions. We evaluate the entire layout to identify and solve these mismatch issues.
AC Installation Priorities for Paradise Homes
Choosing the right AC system for a Paradise home means matching tonnage, SEER rating, and airflow design to the specific construction and sun exposure of your property. Paradise is the unincorporated area immediately surrounding the Las Vegas Strip, with housing stock spanning the 1960s through 2000s and a significant proportion of rental and investment properties. AC systems here often receive less preventive maintenance than owner-occupied homes, meaning service calls frequently address more advanced wear than in master-planned communities. The proximity to the Strip creates localized heat island effects, and the commercial-residential mix means many Paradise homes sit near large HVAC exhaust outputs from hotels and commercial buildings.
