Henderson Housing Stock
Half the homes in Henderson were built before 2000 (Census ACS median), so the typical house is about 26 years old. Plenty of houses from this period still run original 1990s or early-2000s equipment, which is past its expected service life. Henderson has roughly 84,000 owner-occupied homes, or 65.6% of households. The median home value is $465,000, and median household income is $88,654.

Clark County had 11 hail days and 41 days with damaging thunderstorm winds from 2020 through 2025, according to NOAA storm records. The largest hail reported was 1.5 inches across. Hail flattens the thin aluminum fins on condenser coils and cuts airflow. After a big storm, take a look at the outdoor unit; homeowners insurance often covers the damage. In Henderson, 20.4% of residents are 65 or older. For older adults, a house with no heat in January or no AC during a heat wave is a medical risk.

Nevada Licensing and Efficiency Rules
Nevada is in the DOE's Southwest region, where new split central air conditioners need at least 14.3 SEER2 (13.8 SEER2 for systems of 45,000 BTU/h and up). The Southwest also sets a minimum EER2, which measures efficiency at peak heat. Most repairs don't need a permit. Anyone who opens the refrigerant circuit does need EPA Section 608 certification, and in Nevada the company should carry a state license or registration. Ask for both.
Before You Hire
- If the CO alarm goes off, get everyone outside and call 911 or the gas company before you call an HVAC company.
- Ask what the emergency fee is before the truck is sent.
- Maintenance plans often put members first in line for emergency calls.
