What influences replacement cost in Paradise
- System tonnage and SEER rating matched to your home's actual load
- Older systems in mid-century homes requiring modernization during repairs
- Multi-unit properties needing coordination for access and scheduling
- Available rebates, tax credits, and financing options
- Old system disposal and any necessary ductwork modifications
Signs you need AC replacement in Paradise
- System is 15+ years old and repair costs are increasing
- Energy bills climbing despite regular maintenance
- Uneven temperatures between rooms or floors
- Frequent breakdowns or the same repair recurring
- System uses R-22 refrigerant (phased out and increasingly expensive)
- Excessive noise or declining cooling capacity during peak heat
Repair or replace? How to decide
If your repair costs exceed 50% of a new system's price, or your system is past 15 years, replacement typically delivers better long-term value. We'll present both options with clear pricing so you can make an informed decision.

Common Questions About AC Replacement in Paradise
How long does AC replacement take?
Most replacements in Paradise are completed in one day. Systems requiring ductwork modifications or electrical upgrades may take an additional day.
How do I know if I should repair or replace?
If your system is 15+ years old, repairs exceed 50% of replacement cost, or you're facing compressor failure, replacement typically delivers better long-term value. We present both options clearly.
What size AC system does my Paradise home need?
System size is determined by Manual J load calculations that factor in your home's square footage, insulation, window exposure, and Paradise's extreme heat. We never guess — we calculate.
Do you offer financing for AC replacement?
Yes. We offer flexible financing including same-as-cash plans through Service Finance Company. Ask about current promotions and available rebates.
What happens to my old AC system?
We remove your old system, properly recover refrigerant per EPA requirements, and haul away all equipment and debris. Your area is left clean and ready.
AC Replacement Decision Guide for Paradise
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.
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.
Where We Serve in Paradise
We serve Paradise neighborhoods including UNLV area, McCarran/Harry Reid Airport corridor, Paradise Palms, Eastside, and the Convention Center District and surrounding communities.
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 Replacement Priorities for Paradise Homes
Deciding when to replace an AC system in Paradise depends on equipment age, repair history, refrigerant type, and whether the existing ductwork can support a modern high-efficiency unit. 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.
