Packaged Unit Replacement Decision Guide for Anthem
When to Replace Your Packaged Unit
Packaged units in Las Vegas typically last 12-18 years with proper maintenance. Because the entire system is exposed to outdoor conditions, cabinet deterioration and component wear tend to progress together. When multiple components are failing on an aging unit, replacement is usually more cost-effective than sequential repairs. Common replacement triggers include compressor failure on a 12+ year unit, heat exchanger cracks in the gas section, extensive cabinet corrosion, or when the unit uses R-22 refrigerant.
Replacement Upgrade Options
- Heat pump conversion — If you currently have a gas/electric packaged unit, consider switching to a heat pump packaged unit. Heat pumps provide both heating and cooling with one refrigeration circuit, eliminating combustion and gas-related maintenance. In Las Vegas's mild winters, heat pump heating is 2-3x more efficient than gas.
- Higher SEER models — Modern packaged units achieve 15-16 SEER (compared to 10-12 SEER on older models), reducing cooling costs by 25-40%. The efficiency gain is especially significant for packaged units because they run in the direct sun on rooftops.
- Improved economizer — Newer economizers with digital enthalpy controls are more reliable and accurate than older models, capturing more free cooling hours during Las Vegas's pleasant spring and fall weather.
- Better filtration — Modern packaged units accommodate higher-efficiency filters, improving indoor air quality and reducing coil fouling that degrades performance over time.
Anthem Neighborhood HVAC Equipment Profile
From an equipment perspective, Anthem's 1998 to 2010 construction means our technicians encounter a wide range of air handlers, split systems, packaged units, and thermostats across different neighborhood sections.
- Anthem Highlands (2000s custom and semi-custom homes at higher elevation) — Multi-zone systems common in larger homes. Some communicating systems. Premium builds with variable-speed equipment.
- Anthem Country Club (Late 1990s-2000s master-planned) — Standard split systems with programmable thermostats. HOA compliance required for condenser placement.
- Madeira Canyon / Eastern Anthem (2005-2010 residential development) — Standard split systems. Multi-level homes sometimes need supplemental mini-splits for hard-to-reach rooms.
Where We Serve in Anthem
We serve Anthem neighborhoods including Anthem Highlands, Anthem Country Club, Madeira Canyon, Sun City Anthem, and Coventry at Anthem, and the broader Henderson area.
Does Anthem's elevation affect HVAC equipment differently?
Yes. At 2,800 feet, Anthem is 5-8°F cooler in summer (reducing AC demand) but experiences the coldest Henderson winters with lows in the low 30s°F. This dual-season demand means both your cooling AND heating systems need to perform reliably — unlike valley-floor communities where heating is minimal.
Are Anthem HOA requirements a factor in HVAC service?
Some Anthem neighborhoods have HOA guidelines governing condenser placement, noise levels, and equipment visibility. We coordinate with homeowners on HOA requirements to ensure installations and replacements meet community standards.
Packaged Unit Replacement Priorities for Anthem Homes
Packaged unit replacement in Anthem requires matching the new unit to existing roof curbs or ground pads, ductwork connections, and electrical service — plus coordinating crane access for rooftop installations. Packaged units are less common in Anthem than split systems, but some single-story models — particularly in Sun City Anthem sections — use ground-mounted packaged units for simplified installation and maintenance access. These all-in-one systems combine heating and cooling in a single outdoor cabinet, which simplifies service but requires technicians experienced with the combined gas-electric configuration. Anthem's wind exposure and dust accumulation affect packaged unit coil and filter condition more than sheltered locations.
