If you moved to the Nellis Air Force Base area from somewhere with real winters, you might be surprised how cold the desert gets after dark. Clear skies let the day’s heat escape fast, and January nights in northeast Las Vegas regularly drop near freezing. A working furnace isn’t a luxury here, even if you only use it a few months a year.
Century AC & Heating Repair has been keeping Las Vegas homes comfortable since 1997. We’re a family-owned company, so you’ll talk to people who care about getting it right. Whether you’ve owned your home for years or just closed on it after a new assignment, we’re ready to help, day or night.
When you’re new to a house, it’s hard to know what’s normal for that furnace and what isn’t. These are the clues that usually mean something needs attention.
If you’ve just moved in and aren’t sure when the furnace was last serviced, a repair visit is a good chance to get a full picture of its condition.
The northeast side of the valley sits close to open desert, and there isn’t much to slow the wind down. Blowing dust and sand find their way into intake pipes, exhaust vents, and return grilles. Over time, that buildup chokes airflow and makes the furnace run hotter than it should.
Big daily temperature swings add stress too. It’s not unusual to see a 30 degree difference between a sunny afternoon and the middle of the night. That means the furnace may sit off all day and then run hard after sunset, and those repeated cold starts wear on igniters and motors.
Homes that change hands often can also come with a mystery maintenance history. We regularly find furnaces with filters that haven’t been changed in a long time, loose wiring, or thermostats that were never set up correctly for the system. Sorting those out often fixes problems that look much bigger than they are.
Our technician will introduce themselves, put on shoe covers, and ask a few questions about how the furnace has been acting. If you’re new to the home and don’t know much about it, that’s fine. We’ll piece together the history from the equipment itself.
The diagnosis covers the entire system. We test ignition, burners, the flame sensor, the blower motor, safety switches, and the thermostat, and we check intake and exhaust pipes for blockages. Every heating visit includes a heat exchanger inspection and a carbon monoxide test.
Once we know the cause, you’ll get a straightforward explanation and the price before we start. After the repair, we run the furnace through a full cycle and point out anything you should keep an eye on, like where your filter is and how often to change it.
Sarah and her family had been in their new home near Nellis for about two months when the first real cold snap hit. The furnace was running, but the air from the vents was barely warm, and the house kept getting colder through the evening.
When our technician pulled the filter, it was packed solid with dust. The restricted airflow was causing the furnace to overheat and shut the burners off while the blower kept pushing cool air. He replaced the filter, cleaned the blower wheel and flame sensor, and checked the rest of the system for wear.
The heat came back strong, and he showed Sarah the filter slot in the hallway that she hadn’t known was there. She said that one tip alone was worth the visit.
Moving somewhere new means finding people you can count on. Here’s what makes us an easy choice for heating repair.
Whether you’re here for one assignment or planning to stay for good, we’d be glad to be your heating company.
Yes. Winter nights in the valley often drop near or below freezing, and a furnace keeps your home safe and comfortable when that happens.
It’s a smart move. A technician can catch worn parts, check safety, and give you a baseline for future maintenance.
A clogged filter, a dirty flame sensor, or an ignition problem are common causes. If changing the filter doesn’t help, call us for a diagnosis.
They can. Sand and debris can build up in intake and exhaust pipes, so it’s worth having them checked during service.
We’ll get you on the schedule as soon as we can, and our 24/7 emergency service is there when your heat goes out after hours.
