Furnace Installation
Furnace Installation in Henderson means replacing or adding a gas or electric forced-air furnace that pairs with your existing ductwork and air conditioner. You typically need this when your current furnace is past 15 years old, the heat exchanger has cracked, or repair costs have crossed half the price of a new unit. Meadowsweet Heating and Air Henderson installs furnaces that match your existing AC system and your home’s actual heating load, with prices typically falling within the $3,500 to $7,500 range depending on furnace efficiency and whether new venting or electrical work is required. We size the furnace to your home’s square footage and insulation, not to whatever unit happened to be there before.
Furnace Sizing and Efficiency
An oversized furnace short-cycles, wastes gas, and wears out early. We run a load calculation on every install so the furnace runs long enough to heat every room evenly.
In Green Valley and Anthem homes with two-story layouts, we often recommend two-stage furnaces that hold a steadier temperature and keep upstairs bedrooms from overheating while the downstairs stays cold.
Furnace Replacement Timing
Winter nights in Henderson drop into the 30s, and a dead furnace can make the house uncomfortable fast. We schedule furnace replacements before the cold snap, not during it.
If your furnace is making a rattling noise or your gas bill climbed without explanation, call us for a diagnostic before you commit to anything. The estimate is free, and the written price is yours to keep.
Styles & brands we work with
HVAC Installation
HVAC Installation is the complete package: heating, cooling, and the air handler or furnace that moves conditioned air through your home. For details on cooling costs, see our AC Installation pricing page. You need full HVAC installation when both your furnace and AC are aging out together, when you’re converting from a swamp cooler to refrigerated air, or when you’re building an addition in Henderson. Meadowsweet Heating and Air Henderson handles the entire system from load calculation to duct inspection to final commissioning, with most full system installs landing between $3,500 and $7,500 before any rebates or efficiency credits. We write the price down before we start, and that number doesn’t change unless you ask for something different mid-project.
Whole-Home Comfort Design
A good HVAC install starts with measuring the house, not swapping boxes. We check duct sizing, return air placement, and insulation levels before recommending equipment.
In Whitney and Paradise homes built in the 1990s, undersized returns are common, and they choke airflow even on a brand-new system. We flag that before you spend money, not after.
Swamp Cooler Conversions
Many Henderson homes still run evaporative coolers, and the switch to refrigerated air changes everything about indoor comfort. We handle the full conversion including ductwork modifications and electrical upgrades.
A converted home in Southern Highlands or Enterprise will feel drier, filter the air properly, and actually hold a set temperature when it’s 105 outside. We’ll give you an honest assessment of what your existing ducts can support, and what they can’t.
Heat Pump Installation
Heat Pump Installation means putting in a single system that both cools and heats your home by moving heat rather than burning fuel. In Henderson, where winter heating loads are mild and summer cooling loads are extreme, a heat pump often makes more sense than a separate furnace and AC. Meadowsweet Heating and Air Henderson installs heat pumps sized for our climate, with most complete heat pump installations running between $3,500 and $7,500 depending on capacity, efficiency rating, and whether you need backup heat strips. For homes without natural gas service, a heat pump is usually the most practical and efficient choice available.
Heat Pump Efficiency in Desert Climates
Modern heat pumps hold their efficiency well into triple-digit temperatures, and they produce heat down into the 20s. That covers Henderson’s climate comfortably on both ends.
We recommend checking your current electric rate before deciding between a heat pump and a gas furnace. In some Henderson neighborhoods, one fuel source clearly wins on operating cost, and we’ll show you the math.
Heat Pump Warranty and Longevity
A properly installed heat pump lasts 12 to 15 years in our climate. The compressor and outdoor coil take the most abuse from Henderson’s summer heat and dust.
Every heat pump we install carries manufacturer warranty coverage, and our 365-Day Done Right Promise covers the labor and workmanship for a full year after install. If something’s not right, we fix it – no runarounds, no fine print.
Ductless Mini Split Installation
Ductless Mini Split Installation involves mounting one or more indoor air handlers on the wall or ceiling, connected by small refrigerant lines to an outdoor condenser. You need this when your home has no ductwork, when you’re adding a room to a home in Henderson, or when certain rooms never seem to get comfortable no matter what you do at the thermostat. Meadowsweet Heating and Air Henderson installs ductless systems that typically start around $3,500 and run up to $7,500 or more for multi-zone setups covering three or four rooms. Ductless systems let you cool or heat individual spaces independently, which matters a lot in homes where one bedroom bakes in the afternoon sun while the rest of the house stays cool.
Single-Zone vs Multi-Zone Systems
A single-zone ductless unit handles one room, like a garage conversion or a bonus room over the garage. Multi-zone systems run two to five indoor units off one outdoor condenser.
In Boulder City and Nellis AFB area homes with add-ons or casitas, ductless often beats extending central ductwork on both cost and comfort. We’ll show you both options and let you decide.
Ductless Installation Footprint
The indoor wall units are about a foot tall and three feet wide, and they mount high on the wall. The outdoor condenser sits on a pad or wall bracket with enough clearance to breathe.
We run the refrigerant lines through the wall behind the unit, not across your siding, and we seal every penetration against Henderson’s dust and monsoon rain. The line-set covers get painted to match where possible.
AC Replacement
AC Replacement means removing your old air conditioner and installing a new outdoor condenser and indoor coil, often paired with the existing furnace or air handler. You need AC replacement when your current system is over 12 to 15 years old, uses R-22 refrigerant that’s no longer manufactured, or has a failed compressor that costs more to replace than the unit is worth. Meadowsweet Heating and Air Henderson handles AC replacement in Henderson with a written price up front, typically between $3,500 and $7,500 depending on the efficiency rating and whether the furnace needs to be matched to the new coil. We remove the old equipment, haul it away, and leave your side yard cleaner than we found it.
Matching the Coil Matters
Putting a new high-efficiency condenser on an old indoor coil is a mistake. The system won’t reach its rated efficiency, and the mismatch can shorten compressor life.
We check the coil’s condition and age before recommending replacement, and we’ll tell you honestly if your existing coil can stay or if it needs to go with the old condenser.
R-22 Refrigerant Phaseout
If your AC was installed before 2010, it likely runs on R-22 refrigerant. That refrigerant is no longer produced in the United States, and the remaining supply costs hundreds of dollars per pound.
When your R-22 system leaks, replacement is usually the smarter move than recharging. We’ll show you the numbers both ways before you commit to anything.
Central Air Conditioning Installation
Central Air Conditioning Installation is the process of installing a complete split system: an outdoor condenser, an indoor evaporator coil, and the refrigerant lines and electrical connections that tie them together. You need central AC installation when you’re building a new home in Henderson, when your existing system has failed beyond reasonable repair, or when you’re converting from a window unit or swamp cooler setup. Meadowsweet Heating and Air Henderson installs central air systems ranging from $3,500 to $7,500 for most Henderson homes, with the price depending on tonnage, efficiency rating, and whether ductwork needs modification. Every install starts with a written price and a load calculation, not a guess.
Proper Sizing for Henderson Heat
Henderson regularly hits 105 degrees in July and August, and an undersized system will run constantly without ever hitting the set temperature. We size for our actual design temperature, not a national average.
Homes in Green Valley and Anthem with vaulted ceilings and big west-facing windows often need a half-ton more than a same-square-footage home in a shaded Whitney neighborhood. The load calculation tells us the truth.
Ductwork Condition and Airflow
Central AC only works as well as the ducts behind the walls. Leaky or undersized ductwork can waste 20 to 30 percent of the cooling you paid for.
We inspect accessible ductwork during every install and flag issues before they become your problem. If your ducts need sealing or replacement, we’ll include it in the written estimate so there are no surprises on install day.
Brands We Service
We install and service equipment from Carrier, Trane, Lennox, and Goodman, among others. Carrier units, especially the Infinity and Performance series, are known for quiet operation and strong humidity control, which matters in Henderson’s monsoon season. Trane systems carry a reputation for rugged compressors and long service life, and we’ve installed enough of them in Green Valley and Anthem to know their quirks and their strengths. Lennox offers some of the highest efficiency ratings on the market, and we handle their variable-speed systems regularly. Goodman gives Henderson homeowners a solid value option at a lower initial price point while still delivering reliable cooling for our climate.
Whether you have a Carrier, Trane, Lennox, Goodman, or any other make, we can help. We’re not tied to one manufacturer’s product line, which means we recommend what’s right for your home and your budget, not what’s easiest for us to sell. Our home page has more detail on our full service range, or you can call (775) 257-9022 and ask us directly about your current system.

- Your AC runs nonstop but the house won’t drop below 80 degrees. In Henderson’s summer, that’s not an inconvenience, it’s a health risk for kids, pets, and older adults. A system that can’t keep up is either low on refrigerant, has a failing compressor, or was never sized right for the house.
- You hear grinding, screeching, or banging from the outdoor unit. These sounds usually mean bearings, the compressor, or the fan motor are failing. Calling early can mean a $300 repair instead of a $6,000 replacement.
- Your electric bill doubled compared to the same month last year. A system that’s losing efficiency works harder and draws more power. The bill tells you something is wrong before the unit actually quits.
- Some rooms feel great while others feel like a sauna. In two-story Henderson homes, this often points to ductwork problems, a failing blower motor, or a system that was never balanced properly. It’s not normal, and it won’t fix itself.
- Your AC is over 15 years old and you’re pouring money into repairs. At some point, every repair is money that should have gone toward replacement. We’ll give you the numbers both ways and let you decide with a clear head, not a hot house.
Our Process, Step by Step
- 1
Load calculation and home assessment. We measure square footage, ceiling height, window area and orientation, insulation levels, and duct condition. This tells us exactly how many tons of cooling your home needs, not a guess based on what was there before.
- 2
Written estimate and equipment recommendation. You get a written price that includes equipment, labor, refrigerant, electrical work, duct modifications, and haul-away. That price doesn’t change unless you ask us to change the scope.
- 3
Installation day, scheduled around your routine. Our background-checked, uniformed technicians arrive with shoe covers and drop cloths. They follow the C.A.R.E. values code: Clean up like it’s their own home, Ask before moving anything, Respect the family’s time and quiet hours, Explain the price before the work.
- 4
Commissioning and testing. We check refrigerant charge, airflow, temperature drop across the coil, and electrical draw. Every system gets tested, not just started up, so you know it was installed right the first time.
- 5
Clean-up verification and walkthrough. We send a photo of the clean-up before the crew leaves, walk you through the new system, and register your warranty. The 365-Day Done Right Promise is yours in writing before we shake hands and go.
How Much Does AC Installation Cost in Henderson?
A typical AC installation in Henderson runs between $3,500 and $7,500 for a complete system. A basic 14 SEER single-stage unit in a smaller single-story home in Whitney or Paradise might land near the bottom of that range, while a high-efficiency variable-speed system in a larger Green Valley or Anthem two-story with duct modifications could push toward the top. Several factors move the price: the efficiency rating you choose, whether your existing furnace or air handler can stay, ductwork condition, and whether any electrical panel work is required.
| Service | Typical Price Range in Henderson |
|---|---|
| Basic AC Installation (14-16 SEER) | $3,500 – $5,000 |
| Mid-Efficiency AC Installation (17-19 SEER) | $5,000 – $6,500 |
| High-Efficiency AC Installation (20+ SEER) | $6,500 – $7,500 |
| Ductless Mini Split (Single Zone) | $3,500 – $5,000 |
| Ductless Mini Split (Multi-Zone) | $5,000 – $7,500 |
| AC Replacement with Furnace Match | $5,000 – $7,500 |
