The system most valley houses have

A split system is the outdoor unit plus the indoor furnace or air handler. In Las Vegas that pair is the whole house. We repair either side, and we replace them as a match when one of them is done.

Most houses across the southwest valley are split systems. The condenser sits in the side yard. The furnace or air handler is in a closet, garage, or attic. They have to be the right size for the house and matched to each other.

If the compressor is dead and the furnace is fine, we will say so and price that job. If both are past useful life and both are failing, replacing them together is the honest bid. We do not use a healthy indoor unit to dress up a bad outdoor sale — or the reverse. More on our no-upsell approach.

Split system questions

What's the difference between a split system and a packaged unit?

A split system has two halves: an outdoor condenser and an indoor furnace or air handler, joined by refrigerant lines. A packaged unit puts heating and cooling in one cabinet, usually on the roof or a ground pad, with ducts running into the house. We repair and replace both types. Book online or call (702) 738-6976 to schedule.

Why do the indoor and outdoor units of a split system need to match?

Efficiency ratings are certified for specific indoor and outdoor pairings, listed in the AHRI directory. A new condenser on an old coil or air handler may not reach its rated efficiency or capacity, and refrigerant and metering parts may not match. That's why we pair the halves when we replace.

What is a gas/electric split system?

It's a split system with an electric air conditioner outside and a gas furnace inside. The furnace blower moves air for both heating and cooling. It's the most common replacement in our records, including jobs in ZIP 89129 in July 2026 and ZIP 89178 in June 2026. A heat pump split is the all-electric version.
