Common Questions About Thermostat Programming in North Las Vegas
What temperature should I program when I’m away?
During summer in North Las Vegas, set the thermostat 5–7 degrees higher when you’re away (e.g., 82–83°F if your comfort setting is 76°F). Going higher than 85°F forces a long, expensive recovery when you return.
Do programmable thermostats really save money?
Yes. The Department of Energy estimates savings of about 10% per year by adjusting temperatures 7–10 degrees from your normal setting for 8 hours daily. In North Las Vegas’s high-usage climate, the savings can be even more noticeable.
Should I use “auto” mode or choose heating/cooling manually?
Auto mode works well in North Las Vegas’s shoulder seasons (March–April, October–November) when temperatures fluctuate. During peak summer, setting to “cool only” is more efficient and avoids unnecessary mode switching.
Can you help set up my smart thermostat’s app?
Absolutely. We configure Wi-Fi connectivity, app pairing, geofencing, and learning modes during our visit. We make sure you’re comfortable using every feature before we leave.
What if my thermostat doesn’t have programmable features?
We can recommend and install a programmable or smart thermostat that fits your system and budget. A thermostat upgrade often pays for itself within the first cooling season through energy savings.

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 my AC seem to work harder in North Las Vegas than other areas?
North Las Vegas sits on the hottest valley-floor microclimate — 2-4°F warmer than central Las Vegas. Your AC logs more operating hours per year than systems in elevated communities, which means components like capacitors and contactors wear out faster.
Does nearby construction affect my HVAC system?
Yes. Active construction in Tule Springs and other developing areas generates dust that clogs filters faster (every 30-45 days instead of 90) and coats condenser coils. We recommend more frequent filter changes and annual condenser cleaning for homes near construction zones.
