Air Handler Installation Technical Guide for Henderson
Air Handler Selection and Placement
The air handler must be matched to your outdoor unit for optimal efficiency and warranty coverage. We verify AHRI-certified matching combinations and size the air handler based on your system's CFM requirements. Placement matters too — attic installations (common in Las Vegas) require adequate access for maintenance, proper condensate drainage with a secondary drain pan and float switch, and insulated supply and return plenums to prevent energy loss in the 140°F+ summer attic environment.
Installation Quality Details
- Coil orientation — Air handlers can be installed in upflow, downflow, or horizontal configurations. The correct orientation depends on your home's layout and affects condensate drainage, coil performance, and filter access.
- Static pressure design — We calculate the total external static pressure the air handler must overcome (duct friction, fittings, coil, and filter) and select a blower speed that delivers the correct CFM without excessive noise or energy waste.
- Heat strip sizing — If your system includes electric heat strips for backup or primary heating, we size them to match the home's heating load and verify the electrical circuit can handle the amperage draw safely.
- Vibration isolation — We install vibration pads or isolation hangers to minimize noise transmission through the structure, especially important for attic and closet installations near bedrooms.
Henderson Neighborhood HVAC Equipment Profile
From an equipment perspective, Henderson's 1950s to present construction means our technicians encounter a wide range of air handlers, split systems, packaged units, and thermostats across different neighborhood sections.
- Water Street District (1950s-1970s original Henderson homes) — Mix of packaged rooftop units and early split systems. Many thermostats are basic manual models overdue for programmable upgrades.
- MacDonald Ranch (2000s custom and semi-custom homes) — Multi-zone systems with zone dampers and communicating thermostats. Air handlers in garage or attic locations.
- Cadence (2015-present new construction) — Smart thermostats, variable-speed air handlers, and communicating systems. Some homes feature mini-split supplemental cooling.
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.
Air Handler Installation Priorities for Henderson Homes
Air handler installation in Henderson determines indoor airflow quality — proper blower sizing, coil matching, and return duct configuration are critical for both comfort and system longevity. Henderson's air handler diversity matches the city's 70+ year construction span — from original installations in utility rooms with minimal clearance to modern garage-mounted units with full service access. The city's slightly higher elevation means air handlers operate at marginally lower atmospheric pressure, a minor but measurable factor in airflow calculations. Henderson service calls require our technicians to be prepared for any era of equipment, from simple belt-drive blowers to advanced variable-speed communicating systems.
