Packaged Unit Replacement Decision Guide for Henderson
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.
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 Replacement Priorities for Henderson Homes
Packaged unit replacement in Henderson requires matching the new unit to existing roof curbs or ground pads, ductwork connections, and electrical service — plus coordinating crane access for rooftop installations. 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.
