Nevada
How Nevada's climate shapes heating and cooling
Nevada is two HVAC climates in one state. The Las Vegas Valley sits around 2,000 feet with summer highs that pass 110°F, so air conditioning is the system that matters most. Reno, Sparks, Carson City and the Tahoe basin sit at 4,400 to 6,500 feet, where winter nights drop into the teens or lower and the furnace or boiler carries the load.

Housing stock
Most Las Vegas Valley homes were built after 1990, many during the 1998–2007 boom, with stucco walls, tile roofs and air handlers in hot attics. Northern Nevada mixes 1950s–1970s homes in central Reno and Sparks with newer subdivisions in south Reno, Spanish Springs, Fernley and the Carson Valley.
Utilities
NV Energy supplies electricity across most of the state, and Southwest Gas supplies natural gas in the Las Vegas Valley and much of Northern Nevada. Some rural and Pahrump-area homes rely on propane. Incentive programs change, so confirm current terms with the utility.
Permits and licensing
HVAC contractors in Nevada are licensed by the Nevada State Contractors Board. Equipment replacements usually need a mechanical permit from the city or county building department. The contractor pulls it and schedules the inspection.
