Eleven months of the year, your system is working
Lovelock gets one real break, and it is short. Homes here need heat from October through May, eight months straight, with winter nights averaging 23°F from December through February. Summer swings the other way fast, with afternoons averaging 88°F from June through August.
A new furnace or heat pump has to hold up on both ends. It also has to come back on its own after the power drops, and around here that happens. Pershing County has logged 53 damaging wind events and 10 winter storms over the past ten years, and across Nevada, 13% of households went at least 24 hours without power in 2024.

Nevada requires HVAC contractors to hold a state license.
The Nevada State Contractors Board tests contractors before they get a license, then keeps a record of who holds one. That license belongs to the contractor, not to any single job, so it follows them from one house to the next rather than being issued fresh each time.
For a heating and cooling installation, the license is what stands behind the person doing the work. On top of that, most cities and counties in Nevada require a permit before a furnace, air conditioner or heat pump goes in, and an inspection once it's done. The inspection is what catches a bad gas line or a wiring mistake before the system ever runs on its own.

- When should I replace my HVAC system?
- Replace it when repairs start costing more than they are worth, or when the system can no longer keep up. Watch for a furnace that runs longer each cycle to hold the same temperature, or an air conditioner that struggles to keep the house comfortable on an 88-degree afternoon. Homes here need heat eight months of the year, October through May, so a furnace that is struggling going into fall is worth replacing before those 23-degree nights arrive rather than waiting for it to quit.
- Should I replace my furnace and air conditioner at the same time?
- If both are old, replacing them together often makes sense, but it depends on the condition of each one. A furnace and air conditioner installed at the same time are matched to work together, and replacing only one can mean pairing new equipment with an aging blower or coil it was never sized for. Heat runs eight months a year here and cooling runs three, so both sides of the system see real use, and a contractor can look at the age and condition of each and tell you honestly whether one needs to go now or both do.
- What happens during an HVAC installation?
- A contractor removes the old furnace and air conditioner or heat pump, sets the new equipment in place, and connects it to the ductwork, gas line or refrigerant lines, and electrical. Once it is running, they check the refrigerant charge, the airflow, and that the thermostat is communicating with the system correctly. In most cities and counties, replacing a furnace, air conditioner or heat pump requires a permit from the local building office, and an inspector checks the work before it is signed off.
