What happens when the thermostat says 62 and the furnace just won’t answer? In Lovell, North Las Vegas, that tends to happen on the first truly cold night of the year, when temperatures across the north end of Clark County slip into the 30s. Desert winters are short, but they’re real, and a quiet furnace lets the house feel it fast.
Century AC & Heating Repair has been fixing heating systems for families across Clark County since 1997. We’re a family-owned company that believes in clear answers and fair work. Call us any time, including nights and weekends, through our 24/7 emergency service.
Your furnace usually drops hints before it quits completely. Lovell homeowners who catch these early tend to save themselves a cold night.
Spotting even one of these is reason enough to call, especially before a cold front rolls through the valley.
North Las Vegas grew in waves, and the homes in and around Lovell reflect that. Some have furnaces that were replaced decades ago and are due again, while newer homes run high-efficiency systems that depend on clear drain lines and properly working sensors. Each type wears out in its own way, so we come prepared for both.
The flat, open land on the north side of Clark County gives the wind plenty of room to build. Spring and fall gusts push dust into return grilles and rooftop vents, and nearby open lots can make it worse. That dust settles on flame sensors and blower wheels, and it’s behind a lot of the short cycling and weak airflow we find.
Summer is the hidden culprit. Furnaces in garages or attics spend months sitting in some of the hottest air in the valley, and by winter, wiring, capacitors, and igniters can be weakened. The furnace seems fine in October and then fails on its first hard night of work.
We don’t guess, and we don’t start swapping parts hoping one sticks. Every Lovell repair begins with a technician who listens to what you’ve noticed and then tests the system to confirm the real cause.
That testing covers ignition, burners, the flame sensor, gas pressure, the blower, safety limits, venting, and the thermostat. We look over the heat exchanger and check for carbon monoxide on every heating call, because safety comes first.
Once we know what’s wrong, we explain it in plain language and give you the price before work starts. Our trucks carry common parts, so many repairs wrap up in one trip. We finish by running a full heating cycle and making sure warm air is reaching every room.
Maria reached out on a windy Tuesday in December. Her furnace in Lovell had started clicking several times before it would light, and twice that week it hadn’t lit at all. She’d been resetting it by flipping the switch, but she knew that wasn’t a real fix.
Our technician found a worn igniter that was struggling to heat up, plus a flame sensor coated in dust from the recent windstorms. He replaced the igniter, cleaned the sensor, and changed the filter. Before leaving, he ran the furnace through several full cycles and tested for carbon monoxide to make sure everything was safe.
The clicking stopped, and the furnace lit on the first try every time. Maria said she could finally stop bracing herself whenever the heat kicked on.
Clark County has no shortage of HVAC companies, so here’s what makes our family different.
We’d love the chance to show you what neighborly service looks like the next time your furnace needs help.
Yes. We serve Lovell and neighborhoods throughout North Las Vegas and the rest of Clark County.
A worn igniter, dirty flame sensor, or gas supply issue are common causes. Have a technician check it rather than resetting it over and over.
Once a year, ideally in the fall before the first cold night. It catches parts weakened by the summer heat.
Yes. Wind pushes dust into vents and filters, which can lead to overheating, weak airflow, and shutdowns.
Check the thermostat and breaker first, then give us a call. Our 24/7 emergency service is available any night of the week.
