Packaged Unit Replacement Decision Guide for Las Vegas
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.
Las Vegas Neighborhood HVAC Equipment Profile
From an equipment perspective, Las Vegas'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.
- Southwest Las Vegas (Blue Diamond / Warm Springs corridor) (2000s-2010s newer residential development) — Standard split systems with programmable thermostats. Some two-story homes with zoned systems.

Why does HVAC service vary so much across Las Vegas?
Las Vegas proper spans every construction era from the 1950s through today, and microclimates vary significantly — central Las Vegas sits in the urban heat island while southwest sections near the mountains get meaningful elevation relief. Each neighborhood has different equipment ages, duct conditions, and operating demands.
Packaged Unit Replacement Priorities for Las Vegas Homes
Packaged unit replacement in Las Vegas requires matching the new unit to existing roof curbs or ground pads, ductwork connections, and electrical service — plus coordinating crane access for rooftop installations.
