What influences replacement cost in Henderson
- System tonnage and SEER rating matched to your home's actual load
- System age varies widely — from 5-year-old builders to 30-year-old originals
- Different HOA requirements across communities affecting equipment selection
- Available rebates, tax credits, and financing options
- Old system disposal and any necessary ductwork modifications
Signs you need Heat Pump replacement in Henderson
- 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 Heat Pump Replacement in Henderson
How long does Heat Pump replacement take?
Most replacements in Henderson 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 Henderson home need?
System size is determined by Manual J load calculations that factor in your home's square footage, insulation, window exposure, and Henderson's extreme heat. We never guess — we calculate.
Do you offer financing for Heat Pump 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.
Heat Pump Replacement Decision Guide for Henderson
When to Replace Your Heat Pump
Heat pumps in the Las Vegas valley typically last 12-18 years. Because they run in both heating and cooling modes, they accumulate more wear than single-mode systems. Key replacement triggers include: refrigerant leaks requiring more than one pound of charge per year, reversing valve failure (often $800-1,200 to repair on older systems), compressor failure after 12+ years, or when the system uses R-22 refrigerant (phase-out makes recharging increasingly expensive).
Upgrade Opportunities
- Inverter technology — Modern variable-speed heat pumps adjust output from 25% to 100% capacity, running quietly at low speed most of the time. This eliminates the "blast of air" cycling pattern and reduces energy costs by 20-40% compared to single-stage units.
- Higher HSPF ratings — HSPF (Heating Seasonal Performance Factor) measures heating efficiency. Modern units achieve 10+ HSPF compared to 7-8 HSPF on 15-year-old systems, meaning significantly lower winter electric bills.
- Cold-climate heat pumps — While Las Vegas doesn't need extreme cold performance, newer "hyper-heat" models maintain full capacity down to 5°F, eliminating the need for backup heat strips entirely for most of our winter conditions.
- Dual-fuel pairing — If you have a gas furnace, pairing a new heat pump with it creates a dual-fuel system where the heat pump handles efficient heating above 35°F and the furnace takes over during rare deep-freeze nights.
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.
Heat Pump Replacement Priorities for Henderson Homes
Replacing a heat pump in Henderson often presents an opportunity to evaluate whether a dual-fuel system (heat pump + gas furnace) would provide better performance and lower operating costs than a straight heat pump replacement. Henderson's diverse housing stock creates the full spectrum of heat pump installation scenarios: Water Street area homes may need complete electrical and duct overhauls, while Cadence homes are essentially heat-pump-ready from construction. The city's slightly higher elevation creates 2-5°F cooler winter nights than the valley floor, which reduces heat pump heating efficiency marginally but remains well within the effective operating range for modern heat pump technology in the Las Vegas region.
