Is your HVAC unit making funny noises, smells weird, or just doesn’t cool or heat as well as it used to? Your unit may need repairs before your system breaks down completely! Our residential HVAC repair team in North Las Vegas is ready to help you.

Can My HVAC System Make Me Sick?
Yes, it can if it isn’t maintained or if certain parts break down! Let’s talk about air filters for a moment. Air filters keep dust, pollen, spores, and other pollutants out of your home’s air. If your filter gets clogged, those pollutants will enter your home’s air and into you.
Air conditioners also remove water from the air, and that water needs a place to go. If the drains for condensation are clogged, that water can create a breeding ground for mold and bacteria. This can cause a lot of health problems.
A sure sign that you’re getting pollutants in your home is if your HVAC system smells weird or you notice any mold or mildew around the vents in your home. If you notice this, call us immediately so that we can see what’s going on.
What Are the Signs that Something Is Failing in My HVAC?
Here are some common things that mean something is failing inside your HVAC system. If you notice these, call our professionals for a diagnosis.
- Frost on your exterior unit
- Air is not as hot or as cold as it should be
- The system is switching on and off too often
- Thermostat readings seem incorrect
- Water where it shouldn’t be
- Smelling mold, mildew, or other funny smells
- Hot and cold spots in the home
- Sudden spikes in your energy bills
- The system fails to turn on at all
Some problems are more serious than others. And some residential HVAC repairs in North Las Vegas can be so expensive that it’s time to consider a replacement unit.
We will make every effort to repair your system before recommending a replacement. Most HVAC systems last around 10-15 years in the Southern Nevada climate.
Common Types of Residential HVAC Repairs
What could you need to have done to your HVAC? When the time comes to replace or repair your home’s heating and cooling system, we encourage you to reach out to us for immediate help. The following are some of the most common residential HVAC repairs.
Non-Working Thermostats
One of the most common causes of a nonfunctioning HVAC system is a broken thermostat. Sometimes you can change out the battery, and everything will be back in good working order. However, if your system is older and you do not have a programmable thermostat just yet, it is worth upgrading to one.
Air Filter Problems
We often recommend changing your air filter at least one time every couple of months or more often during the high-use season. Air filters clog up not only the intake area but the entire HVAC system when they do not get cleaned as they should.
Non-Working Condensers
The outdoor condenser for your air conditioner is one of the most important components of the system. It operates to move air through the system, but it is also the most exposed to the elements and as such, the most likely to struggle with repair needs. Let our team inspect and repair it for you.
Electrical Problems
Pests can be a big problem for your electrical system. They can gnaw at the wires and create unsafe conditions within your home. These can lead to fires.
If you notice your system is not working reliably, this could be the problem that we need to take a look at.
Nonfunctional Blower Motor or One that Will Not Shut Off
This is another concern for many of our homeowners. The blower motor may run on a consistent basis, often to the point where it is running up your electrical bills.
It is a good idea to give us a call if you notice the blower motor does not turn off or if you have one that is not working at all. This repair can be a critical one.
How Much do Residential HVAC Repairs Cost?
The cost for any residential HVAC repair will be dependent on the type of repair, the cost of the part, and the amount of work that goes into the repair process. It is not common for us to be able to provide a specific price right off the bat because we need to troubleshoot to determine what the underlying problem is first. Factors that typically play a role in what you can expect to pay for any HVAC repairs you need include the following:
- Whether or not you need emergency service or you schedule service and repair
- The age, make, and model of your system (some older systems cost more to repair)
- The availability of the parts and components for your system
- The amount of work needing to be done based on the complexity of the problem
- Labor costs for our technicians who are doing the work for you
Here’s the good news. We’re happy to offer you a quote. Give us a call so we can offer a quote to you on any repair you need.
When Is Replacement Necessary?
Going back to cars, there is a certain point when the cost of repairing a vehicle is greater than the cost of replacing it. It’s the same idea with HVAC systems. After we diagnose your system and break down the costs, we’ll give you our opinion on whether replacement may be the better option.
A newer system may cost less to run than your current system. Manufacturers keep finding improvements to make their systems much more efficient. If your reason for a repair call is a huge energy bill, a replacement could pay for itself.
That said, installing a new HVAC system costs at least $5,000 and often much more. It’s not a cheap expense, so we will try to save you money through a cheaper repair than a replacement if we can.
Do You Do Emergency Calls?
Yes, we do. We have a team waiting for emergency calls any time or day of the year. If you need an emergency repair, we recommend calling us at the number on your screen, as that is the fastest way to get in touch with us.
Please note that service calls after 5:00 PM are subject to an extended hours fee.
