- Available rebates, tax credits, and financing options
- Old system disposal and any necessary ductwork modifications
Signs you need Heat Pump replacement in The Lakes
- 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 The Lakes
How long does Heat Pump replacement take?
Most replacements in The Lakes 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 The Lakes home need?
System size is determined by Manual J load calculations that factor in your home's square footage, insulation, window exposure, and The Lakes'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 The Lakes
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.
The Lakes Neighborhood Heating Profile
From a heating perspective, The Lakes's 1980s to 1990s construction spans multiple generations of furnace and heat pump technology. At 2100 feet (Valley floor with lake-moderated microclimate), heating demands reflect the community's specific winter climate profile.
- Lakefront properties (1980s-1990s waterfront homes) — Gas furnaces. Lake moderation provides slightly milder winters than surrounding areas.
- Desert Shores area (1980s-1990s original community) — Gas furnaces, some replacing original equipment. Rooftop packaged units being phased out for split systems.
- Interior sections (1990s standard residential) — Gas furnaces with electronic ignition.
Where We Serve in The Lakes
We serve The Lakes neighborhoods including The Lakes community, Desert Shores, Lakeside Village, Regatta Bay, and the Sahara-Lake Mead corridor and surrounding communities.
Does living near the lake affect my AC system?
Yes. The man-made lakes create measurably higher humidity that accelerates condenser coil corrosion and promotes biological growth in condensate drain lines. We include enhanced coil assessment and drain maintenance as standard protocol for lakefront homes.
Should I convert from a packaged rooftop unit to a split system?
Many older Lakes homes have packaged rooftop units that are common in 1980s construction. When replacement is needed, converting to a split system offers better efficiency, lower noise, and easier ground-level maintenance. We evaluate both options and explain the trade-offs.
Heat Pump Replacement Priorities for The Lakes Homes
Replacing a heat pump in The Lakes 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. The Lakes' 1980s-1990s homes replacing second-generation equipment are ideal heat pump candidates — the infrastructure has already been updated once, and most homes have adequate electrical service for heat pump operation. The lakeside microclimate creates slightly more moderate temperatures year-round, which benefits heat pump efficiency in both heating and cooling modes. The community's established homeowner base values the reduced maintenance complexity of eliminating a separate gas furnace.
