HVAC installation in Las Vegas covers spaces that need heating and cooling they don't have today, such as a room addition, a casita, a converted garage, a second system for a floor that never kept up, or a change from one type of equipment to another. Heating and cooling get installed so the rating on the box can actually show up at the vent. A unit that is the right size still fails early if the return is choked, the line set is kinked, or the drain has nowhere to go. We install the whole system, not only the outdoor cabinet.
Gas furnace with air conditioning, heat pump with backup heat, or a light commercial split — tell us what the building is and we will say whether it is our lane before we quote it. If an existing system failed or wore out and you're swapping it, that's a replacement. See AC replacement in Las Vegas. Broader replacement framing: system replacement. Heat pump equipment context: heat pumps.

How we plan and check a new installation
- Walk the space. Addition, casita, garage conversion or second system: where the equipment, line set, condensate and power will go.
- Run a load calculation for the rooms being conditioned.
- Design the duct and return path so the airflow matches the equipment.
- Confirm permit and electrical requirements before install day.
- Commission the system after install. Evacuate and leak-check the refrigerant circuit, verify the charge by superheat or subcooling, measure static pressure and temperature split, check amp draw, test the drain and safety switch, and set up the thermostat.
- Walk you through it. Thermostat, filter location and size, and what normal operation sounds like.

Common installation calls
- A room addition, casita or converted garage that needs its own heating and cooling
- A second system for an upstairs or wing the original single system was never sized to carry
- Switching from a gas furnace to a heat pump, or adding a heat pump to an existing system
- A light commercial space that needs a straight install
- Re-doing equipment that was installed poorly the first time
What a new or added system has to answer first
When nothing is there yet, or what's there was never meant to carry the space, the design questions come before the equipment:
- Load for this space. A room-by-room load calculation to ACCA Manual J for the new or added area, including its windows, its sun exposure and its insulation, not a tonnage borrowed from the rest of the house.
- Where the air goes. New supply and return ducts sized to ACCA Manual D. Extending the existing ducts is only an option if the existing system has capacity to spare, and most original Las Vegas systems don't.
- Electrical capacity. A new condenser or heat pump needs its own circuit and disconnect. We check panel space before quoting, and if the panel needs an upgrade we tell you up front.
- Gas or all-electric. Going from gas heat to a heat pump changes the electrical load. Adding gas heat means a gas line and a vent. Either way, we explain what changes in the house.
- Equipment location and condensate. Where the air handler or head lives, where the drain goes, and where the outdoor unit can sit with clearance and service access.
- Permits. We'll tell you what permits and inspections the job needs before it starts.
What a proper install includes
- Equipment chosen for this house, not a package special
- Duct connections, returns, and condensate done cleanly
- Startup readings before we leave
- A walkthrough of the thermostat and filter
We do not invent a published install price on this page. Pricing is after we see the house, the ducts, and the electrical.
