AC Maintenance
AC Maintenance is the scheduled service that keeps your system from breaking down in the first place, and in Las Vegas it matters more than most cities because your condenser sits in 105-degree heat for four months straight. We inspect refrigerant levels, clean the coils, check the capacitor and contactor, test the thermostat, and measure the temperature drop across the evaporator coil. A tune-up runs $80 – $200 and takes about an hour. The best time to schedule maintenance in Las Vegas is February or March, before the first 90-degree day hits, though we handle tune-ups year-round. See our full AC Repair Maintenance Checklist for Las Vegas Homeowners. Andre Fuller built Halden Heating & Air around a simple idea: show the customer what’s wrong, put it in writing, and fix it right the first time.
Spring Start-Up Checks
Before the heat arrives, we run a full electrical check on your compressor, fan motor, and control board. Catching a weak capacitor in March costs $150 and an hour of your time. Catching that same capacitor after it pops in July means a hotter night and a more expensive call.
Coil Cleaning and Airflow
Dust and desert dirt build up on your evaporator and condenser coils faster than you’d think. We clean them so your system doesn’t work harder than it needs to, which keeps your power bill from creeping up and extends the life of your compressor.
AC Service
AC Service covers the actual diagnosis and repair work when something has already gone wrong, and it’s the most common call we get in Las Vegas between May and September. Our techs arrive with a live ETA, run diagnostics on the whole system (not just the part that’s obviously broken), and hand you a written price before any repair starts. Most AC service calls run $150 – $650 depending on the failed part, and many jobs are done the same day because we stock common components locally. If your unit is over 8 years old and the repair quote approaches half the price of a new system, we’ll tell you straight, not push you into a repair that doesn’t pencil out.
Full-System Diagnostic
A lot of companies will swap a part and leave. We test the whole airflow path, electrical load, refrigerant charge, and thermostat wiring so the repair actually solves the problem. You get before-and-after photos of the work, sent straight to your phone.
Multi-Point Inspection Report
After any AC service, you get a written report of what we found, what we fixed, and what’s likely to need attention in the next year or two. No tech is paid on what they sell, so the report is honest, not a list of upsells.
AC Unit Repair
AC Unit Repair means fixing the outdoor condenser, the indoor air handler, or the refrigerant lines that connect them, and it usually comes down to a handful of standard failures: a dead compressor, a fried control board, a refrigerant leak, or a seized fan motor. The most common units we repair in Las Vegas are Goodman, Rheem, York, Lennox, and Carrier, and we keep OEM and compatible parts for all of them on our trucks. When we arrive, the tech confirms the diagnosis with a multimeter and refrigerant gauges, then gives you a written quote before touching anything. Most AC unit repairs fall in the $150 – $650 range, with compressors running higher because of the part cost and labor involved.
Outdoor Condenser Repairs
The condenser is the big metal box outside your house, and in Las Vegas it takes an absolute beating from sun, dust, and continuous heat. Common failures include the capacitor, contactor, fan motor, and in the worst case, the compressor itself.
Indoor Air Handler Repairs
The air handler is the indoor unit that blows cold air through your ducts. Blower motor failures, frozen evaporator coils, and control board issues are all fixable in one visit when the parts are in stock, which they usually are for our Las Vegas service area.
AC Capacitor Replacement
AC Capacitor Replacement is the single most common repair we make in Las Vegas, and the good news is it’s one of the cheapest: most replacements run $150 – $350 all-in. The capacitor is a small cylinder inside your outdoor unit that gives the compressor and fan motor a jolt of electricity to start up. When it fails, your AC either won’t turn on at all, hums without starting, or the fan runs but the compressor doesn’t. In our experience across Summerlin, Centennial Hills, and Sunrise Manor, original capacitors fail faster in Las Vegas than they do anywhere else because the heat degrades the dielectric fluid inside them.
Why Capacitors Fail in Las Vegas Heat
A capacitor rated for 370 or 440 volts loses capacity much faster when outdoor temperatures sit above 100 degrees for weeks at a time. The fluid inside dries out, the metal housing swells, and the start-up jolt gets too weak to turn the compressor over. We test capacitance with a digital multimeter, not guesswork.
What a Replacement Includes
A capacitor replacement is a 30-to-45-minute job in most cases. You get the new part installed, all electrical connections tightened, and a full system start-up test to confirm the compressor and fan are both running within spec before we leave.
AC Recharge
AC Recharge, also called refrigerant recharge (topping off the coolant your system needs to produce cold air), is needed when your system has lost refrigerant, usually through a slow leak in the coil or a fitting. In Las Vegas, a system that’s even slightly undercharged will struggle to hit the 18-to-20-degree temperature drop you want across the evaporator coil. A basic refrigerant top-off runs $150 – $450 depending on how many pounds your system needs and which refrigerant it uses (R-410A or the older R-22, which now costs significantly more). If your system takes R-22 and needs more than a pound or two, we’ll tell you honestly whether a replacement system saves you money over time.
Finding and Repairing the Leak First
Recharging without finding the leak is like putting air in a tire with a nail still in it. We use electronic leak detectors and in some cases UV dye to pinpoint where the refrigerant is escaping, then quote you the repair and the recharge as one job. That’s the only way a recharge actually sticks.
How to Tell if You Need a Recharge
If your AC runs constantly but the air coming out of the vents is only slightly cool, or you notice ice forming on the copper lines near the outside unit, you may be low on refrigerant. A tech can confirm the charge with manifold gauges in about 10 minutes.
Emergency AC Repair
Emergency AC Repair in Las Vegas means a system down when the temperature outside is 110 and climbing, and it’s the reason we answer our phone with a live person 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. When you call Halden Heating & Air, you’ll speak to a real dispatcher who can often get a tech to your door the same day, including evenings. Emergency calls run the same $150 – $650 range as standard repairs; we don’t charge an after-hours penalty or a weekend surcharge, which matters when your AC dies at 2 a.m. on a Sunday in August. Andre Fuller set the policy from day one: the heat in Las Vegas is dangerous, and nobody should have to wait until Monday because their AC gave out on a Saturday night.
What Counts as an Emergency
No cooling at all, a compressor that’s short-cycling, refrigerant leaking, a burning smell from the unit, or an electrical trip that kills the whole system are all emergency calls. If there are elderly people, infants, or anyone with a heart or respiratory condition in the house, treat any cooling failure as urgent and call us immediately.
After-Hours Without the Price Gouge
Plenty of companies advertise 24/7 but add $150 or more just for showing up after dark. Halden doesn’t charge a trip fee after hours; you pay the same rate you’d pay on a Tuesday at noon. The written quote comes before any work starts, always.
AC Not Blowing Cold Air
AC Not Blowing Cold Air is the most common phone call we get from Las Vegas homeowners between April and October. Usually the cause is one of five things: a failed capacitor, low refrigerant, a clogged air filter, a failed condenser fan motor, or a thermostat that’s lost its calibration. What you can safely check in two minutes: set the thermostat 5 degrees below room temperature and make sure the fan is set to Auto, not On. If you see ice on the copper lines or hear a loud hum from the outdoor unit with no fan spinning, shut the system off at the breaker and call us at (725) 220-3488. Continued running with ice or a seized motor can do real damage to the compressor.
Filter and Airflow Checks
A clogged filter reduces airflow across the evaporator coil, which can cause the coil to ice over and block almost all cooling. In a Las Vegas house with a dusty backyard or pets, a filter that’s been in for 90 days can easily be the culprit. We check static pressure and airflow as part of every no-cooling diagnosis.
Thermostat and Electrical Diagnoses
Sometimes the AC works fine and the thermostat is the problem: dead batteries, a bad wiring connection, or a sensor that’s drifted out of calibration. We test the thermostat’s signal to the condenser and air handler with a voltmeter to rule that out before we start replacing parts.

AfterBrands We Service
We service Lennox units constantly in the Las Vegas area. Lennox makes a lot of high-efficiency systems that require proper charge balancing, and our techs are trained on their two-stage and variable-speed condensers, which behave differently than single-stage units during a repair diagnosis.
Goodman and Rheem are also common in Las Vegas, particularly in newer construction around Summerlin, Centennial Hills, and AC Repair - North Las Vegas. We carry common Goodman and Rheem capacitors, contactors, fan motors, and control boards on our trucks, so many repairs are finished in one visit. York units show up often in older homes, and we’ve seen every failure mode those compressors can throw at you. Whether you have a Lennox, Goodman, Rheem, York, or any other make, we can help.
Signs You Need a Pro Right Now
- The outdoor unit runs but the air is warm. This usually means the compressor isn’t running or refrigerant is low. Both get worse the longer you wait, and a hot compressor can be a $2,000 failure.
- You hear a loud hum but the fan won’t spin. That’s typically a failed capacitor or a seized fan motor. Shut the system off at the breaker and call for repair; letting it hum can burn out the compressor.
- Ice is forming on the copper lines or the indoor coil. Ice on the refrigerant lines means airflow or refrigerant issues. It’s also melting water onto your air handler, which can cause electrical damage.
- The breaker for the AC trips repeatedly. A system that trips its breaker is telling you something is wrong electrically. Resetting it over and over can damage the compressor and the control board.
- Your power bill jumped without a big weather change. If your usage is up 30% or more month-over-month without a heat wave to explain it, your AC is working inefficiently. That’s usually a coil, refrigerant, or airflow problem.

How Much Does AC Repair Cost in Las Vegas?
A typical capacitor replacement in Las Vegas runs $150 – $350, a refrigerant recharge $150 – $450, and a condenser fan motor $250 – $550. Full-system diagnostics on a no-cooling call usually land in the $150 – $250 range when no major parts are needed. The most expensive common repair is a compressor, which can run $650 and up. Most AC repairs run between $150 and $500 depending on the part, though larger jobs like control board replacement can push into the higher end of the range. To understand how much AC Repair costs for your specific issue, get a written quote first. The big variables are the part itself, how long the system ran after the failure (a hot compressor is a bad sign), and the refrigerant type if it’s an R-22 system. To avoid overpaying, get a written quote before the work starts, ask whether the part is OEM or aftermarket, and make sure the guarantee is in writing. Every Halden Heating & Air estimate is free and includes a written price, no obligation.
