Common Questions About AC Replacement in Downtown Summerlin
How long does AC replacement take?

What size AC system does my Downtown Summerlin home need?
System size is determined by Manual J load calculations that factor in your home's square footage, insulation, window exposure, and Downtown Summerlin's extreme heat. We never guess — we calculate.

AC Replacement Decision Guide for Downtown Summerlin
When Replacement Beats Repair
The 50% rule is a starting point: if a repair costs more than 50% of the value of a new system, replacement is usually the better investment. But in the desert, we also factor in refrigerant type (R-22 systems require increasingly expensive refrigerant as supplies dwindle), compressor age (desert conditions typically limit compressor life to 12-18 years), and duct condition. A new high-efficiency system installed on leaky, undersized ductwork won't deliver its rated performance.
What's Changed in AC Technology
- SEER2 ratings — As of January 2023, new systems use SEER2 testing (a more realistic measure). A 15 SEER2 system today outperforms a 16 SEER system from 10 years ago in real-world conditions.
- Variable-speed compressors — Inverter-driven systems modulate capacity from 25% to 100%, running at lower speeds most of the time for quieter operation, better dehumidification, and 20-40% lower operating costs.
- R-410A to R-32 transition — R-32 refrigerant has a lower global warming potential and slightly better thermodynamic efficiency than R-410A. New systems are transitioning to R-32, with full industry adoption expected within the next few years.
- Smart diagnostics — Modern communicating systems report fault codes and performance data to your thermostat or phone, enabling proactive maintenance and faster repair diagnostics.

AC Replacement Priorities for Downtown Summerlin Homes
Deciding when to replace an AC system in Downtown Summerlin depends on equipment age, repair history, refrigerant type, and whether the existing ductwork can support a modern high-efficiency unit. Downtown Summerlin represents the newest residential construction in the Summerlin master plan (2014-present), with homes built to modern energy codes and equipped with 14-16 SEER systems from the start. These newer systems require less intervention but benefit from proactive service to maintain factory efficiency. The mixed-use nature of the area — retail, dining, and residential — means some homes face higher ambient heat loads from nearby commercial activity and parking structures.
