Split System Replacement Decision Guide for Las Vegas
Replacing Your Split System: Key Decisions
When it's time to replace your split system, the most important decision is whether to replace both the indoor and outdoor units together. While replacing just the outdoor unit is less expensive upfront, it creates a mismatched system that reduces efficiency by 10-30%, may void the new unit's warranty, and often leads to premature failure of the older indoor components. We strongly recommend matched system replacement for optimal performance and full warranty protection.
Split System Replacement Options
- Standard split vs. mini-split — Traditional ducted split systems work well for whole-home cooling and heating through existing ductwork. Ductless mini-splits are an option for additions, converted garages, or homes without duct systems. Some homeowners add a mini-split to a problem room (like a hot upstairs bedroom) while keeping the ducted system for the rest of the house.
- Variable-speed upgrade — Moving from a single-stage system to a variable-speed (inverter) split system is one of the most impactful upgrades available. Variable-speed systems run at 25-100% capacity, providing steadier temperatures, better humidity control, and 20-40% lower operating costs.
- Line set reuse — Depending on the age and condition of the existing refrigerant lines, we may reuse them (after flushing and testing) or replace them with new copper. Line sets that have been exposed to moisture contamination or used with mineral oil (R-22 systems) typically need replacement when upgrading to R-410A equipment.
- Ductwork assessment — While we have the system apart, it's the ideal time to evaluate and repair ductwork. Addressing duct issues during system replacement maximizes the new equipment's performance from day one.
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.
- Central / East Las Vegas (Sahara / Charleston corridors) (1960s-1990s established residential) — Wide range from original installations to modern replacements. Equipment access varies with building age and style.
- Summerlin-adjacent / West Las Vegas (1990s-2000s established residential) — Standard split systems. Thermostats upgraded in many homes. Some multi-zone systems in larger homes.
Where We Serve in Las Vegas
We serve Las Vegas neighborhoods including Downtown, Spring Valley, Summerlin, Arts District, Paradise, Centennial Hills, and surrounding communities.
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.
Split System Replacement Priorities for Las Vegas Homes
Split system replacement in Las Vegas should address both indoor and outdoor units together — mismatched components reduce efficiency, void warranties, and create performance problems that offset any savings from partial replacement. Las Vegas split system service covers every era and configuration available: from basic single-stage systems in affordable housing to premium variable-speed matched systems in custom homes. The central valley heat island effect means Las Vegas split systems work harder and longer than suburban installations, which accelerates component wear and increases the value of preventive maintenance. Our Las Vegas split system technicians carry the broadest parts inventory because the equipment variety is unmatched in the region.
