Common Questions About Furnace Replacement in Henderson
How long does Furnace replacement take?
Most replacements in Henderson are completed in one day. Systems requiring ductwork modifications or electrical upgrades may take an additional day.

Furnace Replacement Decision Guide for Henderson
When to Replace Your Gas Furnace
Gas furnaces in Las Vegas typically last 15-25 years because our mild winters mean fewer operating hours than northern climates. However, the thermal cycling from sitting in unconditioned spaces (attics that reach 140°F in summer) accelerates heat exchanger stress. Key replacement indicators: a cracked heat exchanger (immediate safety concern — do not run the furnace), repeated ignitor or flame sensor failures, rust on the burner assembly or in the heat exchanger cavity, carbon monoxide readings above zero at supply registers, or the unit uses a standing pilot light (pre-1990s technology that wastes gas year-round).
Replacement Considerations
- Heat pump alternative — For Las Vegas's mild winters, many homeowners are switching from gas furnaces to heat pumps, which provide both heating and cooling with a single system. Heat pumps are 2-3x more efficient than gas in our climate and eliminate combustion safety concerns.
- Dual-fuel option — Keep your existing gas line active by pairing a heat pump with a gas furnace. The heat pump handles 90%+ of heating days efficiently, and the furnace provides backup during rare deep-freeze events.
- Venting changes — Upgrading from an 80% AFUE to a 90%+ condensing furnace requires replacing the metal flue with PVC venting and adding a condensate drain. We evaluate venting options during the site survey.
- Electrical compatibility — Modern furnaces with variable-speed blowers may require updated thermostat wiring and sometimes a dedicated circuit. We check panel capacity and wiring as part of the replacement estimate.
Henderson Neighborhood Heating Profile
From a heating perspective, Henderson's 1950s to present construction spans multiple generations of furnace and heat pump technology. At 1867 feet (2-5°F cooler than valley floor), heating demands reflect the community's specific winter climate profile.
- Water Street District (1950s-1970s original Henderson homes) — Original gas furnaces with standing pilot lights and single-stage operation. Aging gas lines and outdated combustion chambers needing safety evaluation.
- MacDonald Ranch (2000s custom and semi-custom homes) — Two-stage gas furnaces with electronic ignition. Some homes have zoned heating with damper systems needing calibration.
- Cadence (2015-present new construction) — Variable-speed furnaces and heat pump systems. Smart thermostats standard from builder. Minimal heating issues in newer systems.
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.
Furnace Replacement Priorities for Henderson Homes
Replacing a furnace in Henderson is about matching the right AFUE rating to your heating demand while ensuring the new system's blower can deliver adequate airflow for both heating and cooling modes. Henderson's furnace landscape reflects the city's 70+ year construction span: Water Street area homes may have furnaces in closets or crawl spaces from decades-old installations, while Cadence homes have modern condensing furnaces with PVC exhaust venting. The slight elevation advantage (1,867 ft) means Henderson nights run cooler than the valley floor, resulting in more furnace run-time than Las Vegas proper — an important factor in equipment wear calculations and maintenance scheduling.
