How long do air conditioners last in Las Vegas?

Standard central air conditioners last about 15 years with regular upkeep and 10 years without routine maintenance. However, the wear of a long cooling season and dirt and dust in your outdoor condenser/compressor may cause your Las Vegas air conditioner to fail a little earlier than expected if you don’t stay up to date on maintenance.

How much does an air conditioner cost?

Air conditioners come in a vast range of price points. The cost of your Las Vegas AC depends on: The size of the building you need to cool. The type of unit you chose. The SEER2 rating/efficiency of your chosen unit. Any additional work needed for the installation. The cost of labor.

How to calculate air conditioner size for a house:

Your AC technician can advise you on how big your air conditioner should be to cool your home; bigger isn’t always better! In general, you need about 20 BTUs of cooling for every square foot of building you’re cooling. With a media size of 1,835 square feet, the average Las Vegas homeowner will need about a 36,700 BTU air conditioner. Other factors may also impact the size of the air conditioner for your home. To install the correct size AC for your particular home and cooling needs, it’s best to let a professional determine the size.

“We were very happy & impressed with ONE HOUR AC. The entire experience from getting a quote, purchasing, installation & after sales service was smooth sailing & super easy. They are thorough, reliable and great to do business with. Special shoutout to the team from salesmen Steve, technicians/installers Kevin, Albert & Bobby who came to install and left our place spotless to after sales technician Dylan who inspected the unit after hours on a weekend to ensure that everything is working well and that the weird smell was normal coming from a brand new unit. These guys are efficient, professional and they definitely live up to their name of ONE HOUR . Great experience & gave us peace of mind as home owners. We highly recommend them. You wont be disappointed!”

“We had an amazing experience with Jimmy, our AC technician. From the moment we called, he was at our house in under an hour, which was a huge relief on such a hot day. He quickly diagnosed the problem and had it fixed right away, saving us from what could have been a very uncomfortable night. Jimmy was professional, well-spoken, and explained everything in a way we could easily understand. He came across as very honest and transparent, making us feel confident that we were in good hands. His knowledge and expertise were clear from the start, and you could tell he takes pride in his work. Not only did he fix the issue quickly, but he also gave us helpful tips for maintaining our system so we can avoid problems down the road. It’s rare these days to find someone who is so fast, reliable, and genuinely cares about the customer experience. We are beyond grateful for Jimmy’s service and would highly recommend him to anyone in need of an AC technician.”

“Aiden was phenomenal. He arrived at the beginning of our expected time window (which i was very thankful for) and he got our air conditioning working again very quickly, at a very reasonable price (which i was also thankful for). He answered all of my questions with honesty and professionalism, emailed me pictures and provided explanations of the work he did, and left me feeling confident it was done right. I couldn't have asked for a better experience.”
