Air Conditioning in Las Vegas: what to know
Las Vegas has extreme dry heat in summer, cool winters and short monsoon storms. Very hard water and intense sun shorten the life of water heaters, fixtures, paint and roofing.
- Summer temperatures push AC units to their limit, so a spring tune-up before the heat arrives is worth scheduling.
- Monsoon dust clogs filters and condenser coils quickly.
How much does air conditioning cost?
- AC repair: $250 – $700
- AC installation: $5,000 – $12,000
- Ductless AC: $4,600 – $8,350
