Carson City HVAC Questions Answered
Find the right HVAC contractor in Carson City. We connect you with licensed, insured professionals who deliver quality service—backed by real customer reviews.
How often should I change my air filter?
Every 1-3 months. Closer to 30 days if you have pets, allergies, or live in a dusty area. A dirty filter makes your system work harder and die sooner. Set a phone reminder.
How do I know if I should repair or replace my system?
General rule: If the repair costs more than half what a new system costs, replace it. Also replace if your system is 15+ years old and breaking down often. We'll give you both options with real numbers - no pressure.
How often should I schedule maintenance?
Twice a year. AC tune-up in spring (March-May). Furnace tune-up in fall (Sept-Nov). Catches problems early and keeps your warranty valid.
Do you offer financing?
Yes, we have several financing packages and monthly payment plans available.
Should I get a two-stage AC for extreme desert heat?
Absolutely. Two-stage and variable-speed systems run longer at lower capacity, providing better comfort during 110°+ days. They also save 15-25% on cooling costs compared to single-stage units.
Is evaporative cooling a good alternative to AC in Arizona?
It depends. Evaporative (swamp) coolers work great when humidity is under 30%, using 75% less energy than AC. But during monsoon season (July-Sept), you'll want traditional AC as backup when humidity rises.
What SEER rating is best for desert climates?
Go for 18+ SEER if you can afford it. With 4-6 months of heavy AC usage, the energy savings add up fast. A 21 SEER system can cut cooling costs by 40% compared to a basic 14 SEER unit in Phoenix or Las Vegas.
How much do HVAC techs make in Nevada?
According to ZipRecruiter, HVAC technician salaries in Nevada range from $29,022 to $91,138 annually. The majority of HVAC technicians earn between $46,800 (25th percentile) and $67,700 (75th percentile), with top earners making $81,464 annually.
Who is eligible for NV Energy HVAC rebates?
To qualify for NV Energy HVAC incentives, your home must be located within the NV Energy service territory and be a residential single-family home or townhome. Multifamily units do not qualify for these rebate programs.
Is there a tax credit for energy-efficient HVAC?
