What size AC system does my Whitney Ranch home need?
System size is determined by Manual J load calculations that factor in your home's square footage, insulation, window exposure, and Whitney Ranch's extreme heat. We never guess — we calculate.

Heat Pump Replacement Decision Guide for Whitney Ranch
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.
Whitney Ranch Neighborhood Heating Profile
From a heating perspective, Whitney Ranch's 1990s construction spans multiple generations of furnace and heat pump technology. At 1800 feet (Valley floor — slightly warmer than higher Henderson communities), heating demands reflect the community's specific winter climate profile.
- Whitney Ranch single-family sections (Mid-1990s single-family homes) — Gas furnaces. Original R-22 systems may still have first-generation replacement furnaces approaching their own end of life.
- Whitney Ranch townhome sections (1990s multi-unit properties) — Gas furnaces in compact utility closets. Limited space for equipment upgrades.
- Stephanie Street corridor / Galleria area (1990s-2000s mixed residential near commercial) — Standard gas furnaces. Moderate heating needs.

Has my ductwork ever been replaced in Whitney Ranch?
In most Whitney Ranch homes — probably not. The community was built in the 1990s, and while AC units have typically been replaced at least once, the original ductwork rarely gets touched. At 25-30 years old, this ductwork likely has significant leakage that wastes 20-30% of your system's capacity.
Are Whitney Ranch townhome HVAC needs different from single-family?
Yes. Townhomes have compact equipment areas and shared walls requiring noise-conscious installations. Equipment size is limited by available mechanical space, and vibration control is important to avoid disturbing neighbors through shared walls.
Heat Pump Replacement Priorities for Whitney Ranch Homes
Replacing a heat pump in Whitney Ranch 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. Whitney Ranch's 1990s-2000s construction provides a straightforward platform for heat pump installations: modern electrical infrastructure, standard ductwork configurations, and accessible equipment locations. The community's family-oriented homes benefit from the consistent comfort that variable-speed heat pumps provide — no hot-cold cycling, quieter operation, and even heating across all rooms. Whitney Ranch's moderate Henderson climate keeps heat pumps in their most efficient operating range throughout the year.
