How much does a new AC or heat pump cost?

New systems start from $6900. The final price depends on the equipment and your home, and you get it in a written quote before any work starts.

Do you offer financing for a new system?

Yes. New systems can be financed from $89 a month with approved credit.

Should I choose a heat pump or a standard AC?

Las Vegas has mild winters, so a heat pump can cool and heat your home with one system. A standard AC paired with a furnace can also work well, and we will recommend the best fit for your home.

Which brands do you install?

We work with all major brands, including Carrier, Trane, Lennox, Goodman, Rheem and Daikin.

New AC or Heat Pump Installation in Las Vegas

A new air conditioner is a big purchase, and in Las Vegas it is not optional. Summer highs regularly pass 100°F and often go well beyond it, so your system runs hard for months. At Desert Air Heating & Cooling, we install new AC systems and heat pumps with a right-sized design, a written quote, and financing from $89 a month with approved credit. New systems start from $6900.

We have been family-run since 2009, and that is 17 years of working in valley homes. You get the price before any work starts, and we clean up like we were never there.

Signs it may be time to replace, not repair

A repair is often the right call. But a replacement usually makes more sense when you see a pattern like these:

Repairs are becoming frequent, and each one costs more than you want to put into an older system.
Some rooms never cool down, even when the system runs all afternoon.
Your cooling bills keep climbing, though your habits have not changed.
The system struggles on the hottest days and cannot keep up with the thermostat setting.
The unit is loud, short-cycles, or keeps freezing up.

Not sure which side of the line you are on? We will tell you honestly. If a fix makes sense, we will say so, and our AC repair team can handle it. If replacement is the better value, we will explain why and put the numbers in writing.

AC or heat pump: which fits a Las Vegas home?

Both cool your home the same way in summer. The difference is winter. A heat pump also provides heating by moving heat into your home, so one system can do both jobs. A standard AC is paired with a separate heating source, such as a furnace.

Las Vegas winters are mild compared with much of the country, though desert nights can still get close to freezing. That mild winter climate is a good match for heat pumps, and many homeowners here like having a single system to cool and heat. If you already have a furnace in good shape, a new AC paired with it can also make sense. If you want to keep the furnace running, our furnace repair service can help with that.

We will walk through your home, your current equipment and your priorities, then recommend one option and explain the reasoning. You decide.

Why right-sizing matters in the desert

Bigger is not better. A system that is too large cools the air quickly, shuts off, and repeats this over and over. That short cycling wears out parts, wastes energy and leaves rooms feeling uneven. A system that is too small runs nonstop on a 110°F afternoon and still falls behind.

Sizing should reflect how your house is actually built and used. We look at things like:

Square footage and ceiling heights
Windows, especially large panes facing south and west
Attic insulation, since attics get extremely hot in summer
Condition and layout of the existing ductwork
Where the outdoor unit sits and how much sun it takes

Ducts matter as much as the equipment. A new system connected to leaky or poorly balanced ducts will not perform the way it should. That is why we often recommend checking the ducts at the same time. Our duct cleaning and sealing service can fix leaks and uneven airflow so the new equipment delivers.

What you get with your quote

We put everything in writing before any work begins. A written quote means you can compare it, ask questions, and take your time. There is no pressure and no surprise at the end.

Your quote covers the recommended system, what the installation includes, and the total price. Prices for new systems start from $6900, and your final number depends on the equipment and your home.

Financing that fits a monthly budget

If a lump sum is hard right now, financing starts from $89 a month with approved credit. We can go over the options when we review your quote, so you can see what the monthly payment looks like before you commit.

Brands we install and service

Our NATE-certified techs work on every major brand across the valley, including Carrier, Trane, Lennox, Goodman, Rheem and Daikin. We will explain the differences in features and price, and help you pick what fits your home and budget instead of pushing one brand. New installs carry 10 years on parts.

Protect your investment after install

A new system still needs care in a dusty, dry climate. A yearly AC tune-up keeps coils clean and catches small issues before the summer spike. Dry valley air can also be hard on skin and sinuses, so many customers add filters, UV lights or a humidifier through our indoor air quality service.

Serving the whole valley

We install across Las Vegas, Henderson, Summerlin, North Las Vegas, Spring Valley, Enterprise and Paradise. If your system fails and you need help fast, we offer emergency service as well. See what we do locally on our AC repair in Las Vegas page.

Our office hours are Monday to Friday 7 AM to 6 PM and Saturday 8 AM to 2 PM. We are closed Sunday. NV contractor license #0081234 (demo).
