How Often Should You Service Your HVAC System in Las Vegas?

In a city like Las Vegas, where the summers are brutal and winters surprisingly chilly, your HVAC system works overtime. One of the most common questions we get at Rocket Air Conditioning is:
"How often should I service my AC or heating system?"

Let's break it down.

The Quick Answer: Twice a Year

For most homeowners in Las Vegas, Henderson, and Summerlin, we recommend biannual HVAC maintenance:

• Once in the spring for your air conditioning system
• Once in the fall for your heating system or heat pump

This timing ensures your system is ready before the extreme heat or cold hits.

Why Biannual Service Matters in Southern Nevada

Unlike other climates, Las Vegas has unique HVAC demands:

• Your AC runs nearly nonstop from May through September
• Heat pumps and furnaces kick in during chilly desert nights
• Dust storms and dry conditions can clog filters and strain your system

Regular maintenance helps you avoid:

• Emergency breakdowns in the middle of summer or winter
• Unnecessary energy usage and higher utility bills
• Poor indoor air quality
• Premature system failure

What Happens During a Rocket AC Tune-Up?

When you schedule maintenance with Rocket Air Conditioning, we complete a full inspection and system tune-up, including:

• Cleaning condenser coils and filters
• Checking refrigerant levels and system pressure
• Inspecting electrical components and connections
• Lubricating moving parts
• Testing thermostat function and calibration
• Recommending any necessary repairs or adjustments

Signs You May Need More Frequent Maintenance

Some homes or businesses may benefit from more than two visits per year. You may need quarterly service if you:

• Have pets that shed frequently
• Suffer from allergies or respiratory issues
• Use your HVAC system 24/7
• Own an older or heavily-used system
• Operate a rental or commercial property

Protect Your Comfort and Lower Your Costs

Seasonal maintenance is a small investment that delivers big returns:

• Improves system performance and efficiency
• Prevents costly repairs down the line
• Extends the lifespan of your HVAC system
• Keeps your warranty valid with most manufacturers
