Air Conditioning systems in cooler climates can last 2 or 3 times longer than the same air conditioner working in our Vegas heat.  Increased run times and very high heat lead to system wear out and over heating.

HVACopcost.com calculates the average operating hours for an air conditioner to be 4 times greater in our desert climate than moderate climates like Illinois or Michigan.

A home heating and cooling system is not just a matter of comfort but a matter of safety.

Don't Know What A SEER and EER Rating Is?

Air conditioning and heating equipment is generally rated for efficiency by the manufacturer to help determine which A/C system is most suitable for a your residential or commercial building. This energy efficiency ratio (EER) is calculated by taking the output in (British Thermal Unit) BTU/hr  and dividing it by the input in wattage. The higher the EER rating, the better the energy efficiency.

Seasonal energy efficiency ratings (SEER) take into account the cycling of the equipment power on and off and are generally considered to be a higher indicator of actual air conditioning and heating equipment energy efficiency. The SEER rating is like Miles Per Gallon (MPG) for a car. The Air Conditioning, Heating, and Refrigeration Institute (AHRI) rates the publishes of these ratings.
