Common Questions About Heat Pump Replacement in Southern Highlands
How long does Heat Pump replacement take?
Most replacements in Southern Highlands 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?

What size AC system does my Southern Highlands home need?
System size is determined by Manual J load calculations that factor in your home's square footage, insulation, window exposure, and Southern Highlands'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?

Heat Pump Replacement Decision Guide for Southern Highlands
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.
Southern Highlands Neighborhood Heating Profile
From a heating perspective, Southern Highlands's 1999 to 2015 construction spans multiple generations of furnace and heat pump technology. At 2500 feet (3-5°F cooler than valley floor), heating demands reflect the community's specific winter climate profile.
- Southern Highlands Golf Club area (1999-2005 luxury homes near golf course) — Premium gas furnaces and zoned heating systems. Higher elevation means more heating hours than valley floor.
- Southern Highlands Parkway corridor (2003-2010 residential development) — Gas furnaces with electronic ignition. Standard to premium equipment depending on section.
- Southern Highlands newer sections (2010-2015 later development) — Gas furnaces standard. Some heat pump installations.

Heat Pump Replacement Priorities for Southern Highlands Homes
Replacing a heat pump in Southern Highlands 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. Southern Highlands' premium homes are ideal candidates for advanced heat pump systems — specifically, inverter-driven variable-speed heat pumps that match the community's expectations for precise comfort control and quiet operation. Many homes here already have the electrical capacity and duct sizing to support heat pump conversion, and the community's energy-conscious demographic values the efficiency benefits. Southern Highlands' mountain-adjacent location creates slightly cooler winter conditions that showcase heat pump heating capability.
