A wave of aging systems
Large parts of North Las Vegas, including neighborhoods around Aliante, Eldorado and the north end of town, were built during the housing boom of the late 1990s and 2000s. The original air conditioners in those homes have now been running through a couple of decades of Las Vegas summers. Many are still going, but this is the age when compressors, coils and fan motors start to fail and refrigerant leaks become more common.
If your system is original to a 2000s home, the question of repair versus replacement comes up with almost every major failure. We give you both prices and a straight answer. Some of these systems also use R-22 refrigerant, which makes leaks especially expensive to keep recharging; see refrigerant leak repair.

Common calls in North Las Vegas
Compressor and coil failures
Major-component failures on systems from the 2000s, where the repair-or-replace decision matters most.
Repeat refrigerant top-offs
Systems that have been recharged more than once. We find the leak, and if it is an R-22 system we explain your options.
Dirty coils and clogged drains
Dust and heat take a toll on outdoor coils and drain lines. A tune-up fixes both.
Getting another summer out of an older system
If replacement is not in the budget this year, a tune-up, a new capacitor and contactor, a clean coil and a clear drain can keep an older system running more reliably. We will tell you honestly how much life it likely has left.
When the time does come to replace, planning ahead lets you choose the right system instead of whatever is in stock during a heat wave. We can give you a free estimate now, so you know the cost, and keep your current system going until you are ready. Many North Las Vegas homes are similar in layout, which makes it easier for us to size a replacement accurately and quote it quickly.
Questions we hear a lot
My AC is original to the house. Should I replace it before it fails?
Not necessarily. If it is working well, a tune-up can keep it going. Plan for replacement so you are not forced into a rushed decision in July.
Do you service Aliante?
Yes, along with the rest of North Las Vegas.
How long do AC systems last in North Las Vegas?
It varies with maintenance and installation quality, but heavy summer use means many systems start needing major repairs in their second decade.
