Whether you’re battling the brutal summer heat or just want to keep your AC running smoothly, we’re here to help with solutions that fit Las Vegas’s unique climate.

General Maintenance & Care

  • How often should I service my air conditioner in Las Vegas?

    With the heavy summer workload, your AC should be serviced at least once a year — ideally in the spring before the real heat kicks in. Regular tune-ups help prevent breakdowns, improve efficiency, and stretch your system’s lifespan. 32 Degrees Heating and Air Conditioning offers full-service maintenance to keep your AC in peak condition.

  • How often should I change my air filter in Las Vegas?

    Because of all the dust, you should swap filters every 1–3 months. Got pets or allergies? Maybe even more often. Clean filters improve airflow, boost efficiency, and keep your indoor air healthier. We can even handle it for you as part of your maintenance plan.

  • Should I cover my outdoor AC unit in Las Vegas during the winter?

    No need. Our winters are mild, and covering your unit can actually trap moisture and debris, causing damage. Instead, schedule a quick check-up with 32 Degrees Heating and Air Conditioning before cooling season starts again.

  • How does Las Vegas’s climate affect my air conditioner?

    The triple-digit heat and dust storms are brutal on AC units. Dust clogs filters and coils, and constant high temps make the system work harder. Regular maintenance with 32 Degrees Heating and Air Conditioning is your best bet for long-term performance.

Troubleshooting Common Issues

  • Why isn’t my air conditioner cooling my home in Las Vegas?

    If your AC isn’t cooling properly, a dirty air filter, low refrigerant, or a faulty thermostat might be to blame. Las Vegas’s dusty air clogs filters fast, cutting off airflow. Quick fix: Change your filter every 1–3 months. Still feeling the heat? Call 32 Degrees Heating and Air Conditioning for a professional inspection — we’ll find and fix the problem.

  • Why does my AC keep freezing up in Las Vegas?

    If your unit is icing over, the cause is often restricted airflow or low refrigerant. Dust buildup (super common here) doesn’t help either. First steps: Turn off your AC to let it thaw, swap out the air filter, and call 32 Degrees Heating and Air Conditioning for a system check.

  • Why is my air conditioner making weird noises?

    Banging, rattling, screeching — none of it’s good. It could mean loose parts, a bad motor, or debris inside the unit. Dust and sand can sneak into outdoor units, too. Advice: Shut it down and call 32 Degrees Heating and Air Conditioning before a small issue becomes a big repair.

  • Why is my AC running all the time in Las Vegas?

    Possible reasons:

    • Your unit’s too small for your home.
    • Filters or coils are clogged.
    • The thermostat is set too low compared to the outdoor heat.

    If your system can’t keep up, call 32 Degrees Heating and Air Conditioning. We’ll find the root cause and help you fix it fast.

  • What should I do if my AC stops working during a Las Vegas heatwave?

    First, try these quick checks:

    • Make sure your thermostat is set properly.
    • Check if the circuit breaker tripped.
    • Replace a dirty air filter.

    If it’s still not working, call 32 Degrees Heating and Air Conditioning immediately. We prioritize emergency repairs during heatwaves to keep our neighbors safe and cool.

  • Why is my AC leaking water in Las Vegas?

    It could be a clogged drain line or a frozen evaporator coil. Thanks to all the dust here, clogged lines are a frequent issue. Turn off your system and call 32 Degrees Heating and Air Conditioning — we’ll clear it up and check for any other hidden problems.

Installation & Replacement

  • What size air conditioner do I need for my Las Vegas home?

    It depends on your home’s size, insulation, and window count. Too small, and it struggles to cool; too large, and it wastes energy. Pro tip: Let 32 Degrees Heating and Air Conditioning perform a professional load calculation to make sure you get the perfect fit for your Las Vegas home.

  • How do I know if my air conditioner needs replacing?

    Watch for signs like:

    • Frequent repairs or breakdowns.
    • AC is older than 10–15 years.
    • Uneven cooling around the house.
    • Higher energy bills even after maintenance.

    If you’re not sure, 32 Degrees Heating and Air Conditioning offers free consultations to help you decide between repair and replacement.


  • What type of air conditioner works best in Las Vegas homes?

    Central AC systems are a favorite for their ability to cool big spaces efficiently. For smaller homes or apartments, ductless mini-splits are a smart, energy-saving choice. We can recommend and install the perfect system for your needs and budget.

  • Can I install an air conditioner myself in Las Vegas?

    It’s not worth the risk. Proper AC installation requires expert knowledge of electrical systems, refrigerants, and local building codes. One wrong move can mean higher bills, lower performance, or worse — safety hazards. Trust 32 Degrees Heating and Air Conditioning for a professional, code-compliant installation.

  • Are there rebates or incentives for installing a new AC unit in Las Vegas?

    Yes! NV Energy and federal programs often offer rebates and tax credits for energy-efficient AC installations. Let 32 Degrees Heating and Air Conditioning help you navigate the options and save some serious cash.

Efficiency & Cost Savings

  • How can I lower my air conditioning bills in Las Vegas?

    Keeping cool doesn’t have to cost a fortune. Try:

    • Setting your thermostat to 78°F while you’re home.
    • Using ceiling fans to boost airflow.
    • Sealing windows and doors tightly.

    Scheduling regular maintenance with 32 Degrees Heating and Air Conditioning to keep things running efficiently

  • What’s the average lifespan of an air conditioner in Las Vegas?

    Most AC units here last between 10 and 15 years — with good maintenance. Extreme heat and nonstop use can wear them out faster. Routine tune-ups from 32 Degrees Heating and Air Conditioning can help your unit go the distance.

  • What is SEER, and why does it matter in Las Vegas?

    SEER (Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio) measures how efficiently an AC unit runs. Higher SEER = lower bills. In Las Vegas, where ACs work overtime, go for a SEER of 14 or higher. We offer a range of energy-efficient options built for our desert climate.

Indoor Air Quality

  • How can I improve my indoor air quality with my AC in Las Vegas?

    The dry desert air stirs up dust and allergens. To breathe easier:

    • Use a high-quality air filter (MERV 8 or higher).
    • Consider installing a whole-home air purifier.
    • Schedule duct cleaning with 32 Degrees Heating and Air Conditioning to get rid of built-up debris.
