Packaged Unit Replacement Decision Guide for Paradise
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.
Paradise Neighborhood HVAC Equipment Profile
From an equipment perspective, Paradise's 1960s to 2000s construction means our technicians encounter a wide range of air handlers, split systems, packaged units, and thermostats across different neighborhood sections.
- East Tropicana / UNLV area (1960s-1980s established residential) — Mix of split and packaged systems. Older thermostats. Equipment access sometimes limited by additions and renovations over decades.
- South Maryland Parkway corridor (1970s-1990s residential neighborhoods) — Standard split systems. Some older homes with packaged rooftop units.

Where We Serve in Paradise
We serve Paradise neighborhoods including UNLV area, McCarran/Harry Reid Airport corridor, Paradise Palms, Eastside, and the Convention Center District and surrounding communities.
Does the urban heat island affect my HVAC costs in Paradise?
Yes. Paradise sits at peak urban heat island — concrete, asphalt, and commercial density amplify temperatures above surrounding areas. Your AC runs more hours per day than it would in an elevated or suburban location, increasing both energy costs and component wear.
My Paradise home has been renovated — does that affect HVAC service?
Renovated and expanded homes often have HVAC systems that no longer match the current floor plan. The original system may be undersized for added rooms, and ductwork may not reach additions. We evaluate the entire layout to identify and solve these mismatch issues.
Packaged Unit Replacement Priorities for Paradise Homes
Packaged unit replacement in Paradise requires matching the new unit to existing roof curbs or ground pads, ductwork connections, and electrical service — plus coordinating crane access for rooftop installations. Paradise has significant packaged unit density due to its commercial-residential mix near the Las Vegas Strip. Hotels, restaurants, retail spaces, and office buildings throughout Paradise use rooftop packaged units that operate year-round in one of the harshest environments for HVAC equipment. Residential packaged units in Paradise are less common but present in multi-family properties and older single-family homes where they were installed as space-saving solutions.
