A system built for ten months of heat and a short, hot summer
Crescent Valley asks a new system to run heat from September through June and switch to cooling for just July and August. Winter nights average 18°F, cold enough that a furnace or heat pump has to hold steady for months, not just get through a few cold snaps. Summer afternoons average 84°F, so the cooling side has real work to do even in its short stretch.
That split matters when you're choosing equipment. A system sized and set up for ten months of heating and two months of cooling isn't the same as one built for a place where the split runs the other way. Eureka County has also logged 101 winter storms and 97 damaging wind events over the past ten years, and 13% of Nevada households lost power for at least 24 hours in 2024. Whatever gets installed should be able to start back up on its own once power returns.

Nevada requires HVAC contractors to hold a state license.
The Nevada State Contractors Board tests contractors before it licenses them, and it keeps a record of who holds one. That license belongs to the contractor, not to any single job, so it does not get inspected or renewed for your installation specifically.
That is where the permit comes in. Putting in a new furnace, air conditioner, heat pump or water heater needs a permit from your local building office in most cities and counties, and an inspection once the work is done. The license tells you the contractor was tested and is on record with the state. The permit and inspection are what checks the actual installation in your home.

- When should I replace my HVAC system?
- Once your furnace or air conditioner is breaking down more than once a season, or a contractor tells you a major part like the heat exchanger or compressor has failed, it is time to replace rather than repair. An older unit gets harder to keep running since parts for it get harder to find. Homes here need heat from September through June, so a furnace that cannot make it through a cold morning is worth replacing before it fails outright.
- Should I replace my furnace and air conditioner at the same time?
- If both are original to the house and close in age, replacing them together makes sense. A furnace and air conditioner installed at the same time are matched to work together, and a contractor sizing a new system can size it correctly for your house instead of working around whatever is still attached. If one unit is significantly newer, a contractor can tell you whether it is worth pairing with a new one or replacing on its own.
- What happens during an HVAC installation?
- A contractor first removes the old furnace and air conditioner, then sets the new units and connects them to your ducts, refrigerant lines, gas line, and electrical. Once everything is connected, the system gets tested and the settings checked, including the thermostat. Replacing a furnace or air conditioner here needs a permit from the local building office, and an inspector checks the finished work before the job is signed off.
