Year-round heating and cooling for Las Vegas homes in one efficient system. Ducted air-source installs run $14,000 - $30,000 before rebates, with 0% financing available on qualifying systems with approved credit.
Southern Nevada's desert climate is where a heat pump earns its keep: mild winters that rarely drop below 25°F sit well inside its operating range, and the same variable-speed system carries 115°F summers as a high-efficiency air conditioner. NV Energy PowerShift rebates (tiered by efficiency, verify current amounts at nvenergy.com), manufacturer rebates, and a recycling credit for your old equipment bring net cost well under sticker price. We handle sizing, permits, installation, and old-system recycling across the Las Vegas Valley. Learn about heat pump electricity usage and whether heat pumps use gas.

Why Heat Pumps Work Great in Las Vegas
The desert climate is actually ideal for heat pump performance.
Mild Winters = Peak Efficiency
Heat pumps lose efficiency below 25°F. Las Vegas winter lows rarely dip below 35°F, so your heat pump operates at peak COP (coefficient of performance) all winter. No backup heat strips needed for most homes.
One System, Year-Round
Las Vegas needs both heating and cooling. A heat pump handles both, eliminating the cost of installing and maintaining separate furnace and AC systems. One unit, one maintenance plan, one warranty.
Variable-Speed Compressors
Modern inverter-driven heat pumps adjust output continuously rather than cycling on/off. This means even temperatures in every room, lower humidity, quieter operation, and 30-50% energy savings vs. single-stage systems.
Desert Dry Air Advantage
Low humidity means less strain on the cooling cycle. Heat pumps don't have to work as hard to dehumidify the air like they would in Florida or Texas, improving efficiency and extending compressor life.
Solar Synergy
Heat pumps run on electricity, making them the perfect pairing for solar panels. Many Las Vegas homeowners offset their entire heating and cooling cost with a solar + heat pump combination.
No Gas Line Required
Heat pumps are all-electric, so there's no gas connection needed. This is ideal for new construction, home additions, or replacing aging gas furnaces. Learn more about whether heat pumps use gas.
2026 Heat Pump Rebates & Incentives
For 2026 installs, NV Energy PowerShift rebates ($250–$550 for qualifying heat pumps, verify tiers at nvenergy.com) lead the way. The income-qualified HEEHR program (up to $8,000) is funded for Nevada but not yet accepting applications; we will tell you when it opens. The federal 25C tax credit ended December 31, 2025.
NV Energy Heat Pump Rebate
Available now for qualifying ENERGY STAR heat pump installations. Amount varies by SEER2 rating and system size.
Federal 25C Tax Credit
The 25C credit (formerly 30% of cost, capped at $2,000 for ENERGY STAR heat pumps) was terminated for equipment installed after December 31, 2025 and is not available for 2026 installations. Equipment installed in 2025 or earlier can still be claimed on that year's federal tax return.
HEEHR Federal Rebate (IRA)
Income-qualified point-of-sale rebate funded for Nevada but not yet accepting applications; we will tell you when it opens. Covers heat pump equipment and installation for households under 150% area median income.
How Rebate Stacking Works
These programs can be combined. For example, a $19,000 heat pump installation could qualify for up to a $550 NV Energy PowerShift rebate (verify tiers at nvenergy.com) + $800 manufacturer rebate + $150–$400 recycling credit = ~$1,500–$1,750 in savings, bringing your net cost to ~$17,250–$17,500. Financing is available on qualifying systems, subject to credit approval. Income-qualified households may access the additional $8,000 HEEHR rebate. We calculate your total savings during your free assessment.
Your Real Cost: Lower Than You Think
Here's how a typical 3-ton heat pump installation breaks down after all savings:
Heat pumps provide both cooling AND heating, replacing two systems with one, doubling your savings.

Can a heat pump replace both my AC and furnace?
Yes. A heat pump provides both cooling and heating, so it can replace a traditional AC and furnace combo in most Las Vegas homes. One system, one maintenance plan, lower energy bills.
How efficient are heat pumps in desert climates?
Very efficient. Modern heat pumps with variable-speed compressors maintain performance even at 115\u00B0F+, using 30-50% less energy than conventional systems. Las Vegas mild winters keep heating COP above 3.0.
Do heat pumps work in extreme heat?
