Packaged Unit Installation Technical Guide for Boulder City
Packaged Unit Installation: Single-Cabinet Simplicity
Packaged units offer advantages for homes without space for separate indoor and outdoor components. With everything in one cabinet, there's no refrigerant line set to run between units, no indoor closet or attic space needed for an air handler, and the entire system can be serviced from one location. Installation involves setting the unit on a rooftop curb or ground-level pad, connecting the supply and return ductwork, running electrical and gas connections, and configuring the controls.
Installation Specifics
- Curb adapter matching — The rooftop curb (the frame that connects the unit to your ductwork through the roof) must match the new unit's footprint. When replacing with a different brand or model, a transition adapter or new curb may be required.
- Structural considerations — Packaged units weigh 300-800+ lbs. We verify roof structural capacity and use cranes for rooftop placement. The mounting platform must be level and properly flashed to prevent roof leaks.
- Duct transition — The connection between the packaged unit and the home's duct system is critical. We seal and insulate the transition thoroughly to prevent the energy losses that are common in poorly installed rooftop connections.
- Electrical and gas — Packaged units require a dedicated electrical circuit and disconnect switch at the unit location. Gas models need a properly sized gas line run to the rooftop or pad location.
Boulder City Neighborhood HVAC Equipment Profile
From an equipment perspective, Boulder City's 1930s to present construction means our technicians encounter a wide range of air handlers, split systems, packaged units, and thermostats across different neighborhood sections.
- Historic District (1930s-1950s original Boulder City homes) — Mix of retrofitted split systems and ductless mini-splits where ductwork isn't feasible. Historic preservation may limit exterior equipment placement.
- Boulder Hills / Lake Mead Drive corridor (1970s-2000s residential development) — Standard residential split systems. Some homes with evaporative coolers as supplemental or primary cooling.
- Boulder Creek / Newer sections (2000s-present limited new development) — Standard split systems with programmable thermostats. Smaller community means fewer service options — residents value reliable local providers.
Where We Serve in Boulder City
We serve Boulder City neighborhoods including Historic District, Del Prado, Lake Mead View Estates, Boulder Hills, and the area near Hemenway Park and surrounding communities.
Does Lake Mead humidity affect my HVAC system?
Yes — Boulder City is one of only two Las Vegas-area communities where humidity is a real HVAC factor. Lake Mead proximity accelerates condenser coil corrosion and increases biological growth in condensate drain lines, requiring enhanced maintenance compared to standard desert locations.
Can you work on HVAC in Boulder City's Historic District homes?
Yes. Our technicians have experience with the specialized retrofitting required in 1930s-1950s homes that weren't originally designed for central HVAC. We offer creative solutions including ductless mini-splits when traditional ductwork isn't feasible.
Packaged Unit Installation Priorities for Boulder City Homes
Packaged unit installation in Boulder City places the entire HVAC system outdoors (typically on the roof or a ground pad), requiring careful structural assessment, ductwork routing, and weatherproofing. Boulder City has a higher proportion of packaged units than most Las Vegas communities, particularly in older commercial-residential properties and manufactured homes. The town's older housing stock sometimes uses packaged units because they require less indoor space than split system components. Boulder City's independent permitting covers packaged unit installation with specific requirements for gas connections and electrical service that differ from Clark County standards.
