AfterHow Much Does HVAC Cost in Las Vegas?
HVAC work in Las Vegas runs from about $80 for a basic tune-up to $7,500 for a full AC installation on a larger home. The most common repair calls we handle, things like capacitor failures and refrigerant leaks, land between $150 and $650. Furnace repairs follow a similar pattern at $150 to $700, and most of the time the job is done in a single visit.
What you pay depends on what failed, how old the system is, and which part of the valley you call home. A compressor replacement in Summerlin costs more than a capacitor swap in Henderson, and we will tell you the written price before any tool comes out of the truck.
HVAC Cost Breakdown (2026)
Below is what we are seeing across Las Vegas, Henderson, North Las Vegas, and the surrounding valley communities this year. These are real ranges from the market, not national averages that do not match what you will actually be quoted.
| Service | Typical Las Vegas Price Range | What It Includes |
|---|---|---|
| AC Repair | $150 – $650 | Diagnosis, parts, and labor for most common failures: capacitors, contactors, fan motors, thermostats, relays |
| Furnace Repair | $150 – $700 | Igniters, flame sensors, gas valves, blower motors, control boards on gas furnaces |
| AC Installation | $3,500 – $7,500 | Complete system replacement: condenser, air handler or coil, refrigerant, electrical, duct connections, startup, and haul-away of the old unit |
| Tune-Up (AC or Furnace) | $80 – $200 | Coil cleaning, refrigerant level check, electrical connections tightened, capacitor test, airflow check, drain line clearing |
| Refrigerant Recharge | $250 – $550 | Locating and sealing the leak, then recharging R-410A or R-454B to the manufacturer’s specified level |
| Thermostat Replacement | $180 – $450 | New thermostat, wiring verification, programming, and system compatibility check |
| Duct Leak Sealing (Partial) | $300 – $800 | Sealing accessible duct runs in attic or crawl space with mastic or approved tape |
Those middle-of-the-road numbers assume a reasonably accessible system in a single-family home built after about 1990. If your air handler sits in a tight attic in a two-story Summerlin house, expect labor to run higher. If you are in an older North Las Vegas neighborhood with original ductwork, the leak-sealing numbers may not cover everything you need.
Every quote we hand over is written down before work starts. That is not a special offer or a premium add-on. It is simply how our Las Vegas HVAC team operates, and it has been that way since Cold Harbour Heating and Air opened in 2003 as an independently owned and operated member of the Kingswell network.
What Affects HVAC Pricing in Las Vegas
- Where the unit sits. A condenser on the side of the house is easy. A condenser wedged behind a patio wall in a zero-lot-line Centennial Hills property takes longer to access, and time is labor.
- System age. R-22 refrigerant was phased out years ago. If your pre-2010 AC calls for it, the refrigerant itself costs significantly more if it is available at all. In many cases, the smarter financial move is a replacement rather than a recharge.
- Single-stage vs. two-stage or variable-speed equipment. A basic Goodman or Rheem single-stage condenser installs for less than a variable-speed Trane or Carrier. Neither is wrong, but do not compare a $4,200 quote on one against a $6,800 quote on the other as if they are the same job.
- Time of year. Vegas HVAC demand peaks hard between May and September. Repairs cost roughly the same, but same-day scheduling gets tighter. The price does not jump at the door, but planning a spring tune-up in March beats calling during a 110-degree week in July.
- Ductwork condition. A new AC unit attached to leaking, uninsulated ductwork performs poorly and runs longer. Homes in older parts of Henderson and North Las Vegas often need duct sealing or partial replacement before a new system will work correctly.
- Code and permit requirements. The City of Las Vegas, Henderson, and Clark County each enforce their own mechanical permit rules. Installation work generally includes permit fees in the quote. A contractor who skips the permit is not doing you any favor.
How Much Does AC Repair Cost in Las Vegas?
Most AC repairs in Las Vegas run $150 to $650, depending on the failed component. The cheapest fix we handle regularly is a capacitor, typically $150 to $250 parts and labor. A contactor replacement falls in the same $150 to $280 range. Evaporator coil replacements and compressor jobs push toward the top of that range or slightly beyond, and at that point a replacement bid makes sense to compare.
Common AC Repair Costs in Las Vegas
- Capacitor replacement: $150 – $250
- Contactor replacement: $150 – $280
- Condenser fan motor: $300 – $500
- Refrigerant leak repair with recharge: $350 – $650
- Thermostat replacement: $180 – $450
- Evaporator coil replacement: $1,200 – $2,000 (this crosses into replacement territory; we will give you both options in writing)
In neighborhoods like Silverado Ranch and Green Valley, we see a steady run of capacitor failures every year from June through August. When the capacitor goes, the compressor cannot start, and the whole system just stops. The part itself is inexpensive; the labor and diagnosis are what you are paying for. A trained technician swaps it in under an hour.
How the 365-Day Done Right Promise Works
- Our background-checked, uniformed technician arrives in the window we gave you on the phone.
- Diagnosis happens first, while you watch if you want to. You hear exactly what failed before anything is fixed.
- A written price is placed in your hand before a single tool comes out of the truck.
- The repair is completed, and the technician leaves your property cleaner than he found it.
- You receive a written 365-Day Done Right Promise. If that same repair fails within one full year, we come back and correct it at no charge. No argument, no pro-rated formula, no charge for the second visit. This guarantee is not verbal. It is on paper.
Victor Mancini, who leads our Las Vegas operation, has spent years building a team that will hand a customer a written guarantee without hesitating. That is the whole point of the Kingswell Way: say the price before the work, show up in the window given, leave the place cleaner than found, put the guarantee in writing, and come back if it fails.
How Much Does Furnace Repair Cost in Las Vegas?
Furnace repairs in Las Vegas land between $150 and $700. The most common winter call we get is a furnace that will not fire up on the first cold morning of December. The fix is frequently an igniter or a flame sensor: a $150 to $280 repair. Gas valve replacement runs higher, $350 to $700, and a control board swap sits near the top of that range.
We service nine major residential HVAC brands: Carrier, Trane, Lennox, Goodman, Rheem, York, Daikin, Bryant, and American Standard. The technician who arrives in your driveway has been trained on the system that is already in your home, whatever brand it happens to be.
How Much Does a New AC System Cost in Las Vegas?
Full AC replacement in Las Vegas runs $3,500 to $7,500 for most homes. The spread comes down to equipment efficiency, home size, and whether any ductwork repairs are required. A 14-SEER single-stage Goodman in a 1,400-square-foot North Las Vegas house sits at the low end. A 17-SEER two-stage Carrier in a two-story Summerlin property lands closer to $7,000.
We will give you multiple equipment options with written prices and explain the difference in plain English. A higher-SEER system is not a luxury upsell; it means lower summer electric bills, and Vegas summer electric bills are serious. That said, the decision is yours. We do not steer everyone toward the highest-priced option, and we do not push replacement when a repair makes better sense for your budget.
What Does a Tune-Up Cost in Las Vegas?
A maintenance visit costs $80 to $200. In this market, with summer temperatures that routinely pass 105 degrees, a spring tune-up is the cheapest insurance you can buy. Our technicians check refrigerant levels, test capacitors, tighten electrical connections, clean condenser coils, clear drain lines, and measure airflow. A failing capacitor found in April costs $180. A failed capacitor in July, on a Friday night, when the indoor temperature is 94 degrees, costs the same amount but feels a lot worse. Homeowners who schedule regular maintenance tend not to meet their HVAC provider on the worst day of the year.
How to Save on HVAC in Las Vegas
- Change your filters. A clogged filter forces the blower motor to work harder, overheats the system, and shortens equipment life. Check it every 30 days during summer. A $12 filter beats a $450 blower motor.
- Keep the condenser clear. Vegas wind and dust coat condenser coils quickly. Keep shrubs trimmed back and rinse the coil gently with a garden hose two or three times each summer. A coil thick with desert dust rejects heat poorly and makes the whole system work harder.
- Do not skip the spring tune-up. At $80 to $200, it is a fraction of the cost of an emergency repair. It also keeps your manufacturer warranty valid on some systems.
- Compare repair costs against replacement honestly. If the repair quote exceeds 40% of the cost of a new system, and the unit is over 12 years old, replacement may be the cheaper option over three years. Victor Mancini and his team will give you the numbers on paper and let you decide without pressure.
- Ask for the written price before work starts. You should expect this from any contractor. At Cold Harbour, it is automatic. The estimate is free, the price does not change at the door, and there is no charge to have us come out and look at the system.

Why HVAC Prices Differ Between Las Vegas Neighborhoods
Labor rates are generally consistent across the valley, but travel time and home construction styles shift the final number. Homes in Summerlin and The Ridges often have condensers on rooftops or behind narrow side gates. Older neighborhoods near Downtown Las Vegas and in parts of North Las Vegas have outdated electrical panels that need checking before a new system is connected. Henderson homes built in the 1990s frequently show original ductwork that has been baking in the attic for 30 summers. None of these surprises are free, and we will tell you about them before we touch a thing.
FAQs – HVAC Cost in Las Vegas
How much does an HVAC service call cost in Las Vegas?
Diagnostic service calls in Las Vegas typically run $80 to $130, and that charge is usually applied toward the repair if you proceed.

Is it cheaper to repair or replace my AC in Las Vegas?
If your system is under 10 years old and the repair quote is under $650, repair is usually the better move. If the unit is over 12 years old and the repair is a compressor or evaporator coil, you are looking at $1,200 or more on a system nearing the end of its life, and replacement at $3,500 to $7,500 may cost less over the next five years. We will put both numbers in writing and let you choose.
Does Cold Harbour Heating and Air charge extra for emergency AC repair in Las Vegas?
No. We do not attach after-hours surcharges. A live person answers the phone 24 hours a day, every day of the year, and the repair price is written down before work starts regardless of when you call. The 365-Day Done Right Promise applies to emergency repairs the same as any other job.
How much does a new AC unit cost in Las Vegas in 2026?
A complete AC installation in Las Vegas runs $3,500 to $7,500 in 2026. The final number depends on system size, efficiency rating, home square footage, and whether any duct modifications are needed. Call (725) 726-3813 for a free, written estimate; we will price multiple options without pressure.
Can you fix my HVAC system the same day in Las Vegas?
In most cases, yes. We keep common parts, capacitors, contactors, fan motors, flame sensors, and igniters, stocked on our trucks across the Las Vegas valley. If the part is unusual, we will give you a firm arrival window and a written price the same day you call, then return as soon as the part is in hand.
What is the 365-Day Done Right Promise?
Every repair from Cold Harbour Heating and Air comes with a written guarantee that the work will hold up for 365 days. If the same repair fails within that year, we return and correct the work at no charge. The promise is printed on paper before our technician leaves your home, not delivered verbally as a sales convenience.

What Our Customers Say
"New mini split for the addition. Clean install, on time two days running, and the price matched the written quote to the dollar."
- Yvonne Prewitt"AC quit on the hottest day of the year of course. Coldharbour had a tech out that evening, found a bad capacitor, and had us cool again within the hour. Charged the quote, not a penny more."
- Doug Feeney"Signed up for a tune up before summer. He found a part starting to fail and showed me the reading, didn't just tell me to trust him. Fixed it then so we wouldn't get stuck in July."
- Sophia Tran
