Packaged Unit Repair Technical Guide for Henderson
Understanding Packaged Unit Systems
A packaged unit combines the compressor, condenser, evaporator, and air handler into a single outdoor cabinet — typically mounted on a rooftop or concrete pad. Because everything is in one unit, repair access and diagnostic procedures differ from split systems. Our technicians are experienced with all packaged unit configurations: gas/electric (gas heating + electric cooling), heat pump packaged units, and all-electric models with heat strips.
Packaged Unit Repair Considerations
- Rooftop access — Many Las Vegas packaged units are roof-mounted, especially on single-story homes and commercial buildings. We bring the right equipment for safe rooftop access and carry common parts on the truck to minimize trips up and down.
- Cabinet integrity — The outdoor cabinet is exposed to UV, wind-driven rain, and extreme heat year-round. Rust, panel gaps, and damaged gaskets allow dust and moisture into the electrical and refrigerant compartments, causing accelerated component wear.
- Economizer issues — Many packaged units include economizers (fresh air dampers that use outside air for free cooling when conditions allow). Stuck dampers, failed actuators, or broken enthalpy sensors are common repair items that affect both comfort and efficiency.
- Gas heat section — Gas/electric packaged units have a built-in gas furnace section. We inspect the heat exchanger, burner assembly, and gas connections with the same thoroughness as a standalone furnace, including carbon monoxide testing.
Henderson Neighborhood HVAC Equipment Profile
From an equipment perspective, Henderson's 1950s to present construction means our technicians encounter a wide range of air handlers, split systems, packaged units, and thermostats across different neighborhood sections.
- Water Street District (1950s-1970s original Henderson homes) — Mix of packaged rooftop units and early split systems. Many thermostats are basic manual models overdue for programmable upgrades.
- MacDonald Ranch (2000s custom and semi-custom homes) — Multi-zone systems with zone dampers and communicating thermostats. Air handlers in garage or attic locations.
- Cadence (2015-present new construction) — Smart thermostats, variable-speed air handlers, and communicating systems. Some homes feature mini-split supplemental cooling.
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.
Packaged Unit Repair Priorities for Henderson Homes
Packaged unit repairs in Henderson often involve heat-related component failures since the entire system sits outdoors in direct desert sun, with cabinet temperatures that can exceed equipment ratings during peak summer. Henderson packaged unit service covers residential ground-mount installations, commercial rooftop units, and mixed-use applications across the city's diverse construction. The city's variety of building ages means packaged unit technology ranges from 1990s fixed-speed models to current variable-speed commercial units. Henderson's specific commercial HVAC permitting requirements apply to packaged unit installations, and our crews handle permits and inspections as part of every project.
