Eleven months of work, with almost no break
Your furnace or heat pump runs from October through May here, then the air conditioner takes over for June through August. Eleven months of the year, something in that system is working. Winter nights averaging 24°F mean long heating cycles night after night, and summer afternoons near 89°F push the compressor hard all season. There is almost no stretch where the system just sits idle.
The region has recorded 8 winter storms and 52 damaging wind events over the past ten years, and across Nevada, 13% of households lost power for a day or more in 2024. A furnace that cuts out mid-cycle or an air conditioner that sits through a power outage comes back on when the power does, but whatever was already worn inside it does not fix itself. With this system running nearly year round, the parts that start it up and shut it down are the ones under the most strain.

Nevada requires HVAC contractors to hold a state license.
The Nevada State Contractors Board issues that license, and it tests and records the contractor, not the job. The board has checked this contractor's qualifications before they ever set foot in your home, and there's a record of them on file if something goes wrong. The license belongs to the person or business doing the work, not to any single repair.
For a heating and cooling repair in Esmeralda County, that license is what stands behind the work. It covers the contractor's standing to do the job at all, not the outcome of this particular repair. The Nevada State Contractors Board is the body with a record of who did the work.

- Why is my heat not working?
- Start with the thermostat. If it's set to heat and the temperature is above the room reading, the furnace should be firing. If nothing happens, check the breaker and any switch that looks like a light switch near the furnace, since that cuts power to it. A furnace that starts and then shuts off is a different problem, often the igniter or the flame sensor, and that needs a contractor to look at it. With winter nights here averaging 24°F, this isn't one to leave for later.
- Why is my system running but not cooling the house?
- Check the filter first. A clogged filter blocks airflow across the coil, and the coil can ice over so no cool air reaches the ducts. Check the outdoor unit too. If the fan isn't spinning or the area around it is packed with leaves or debris, the system can't release heat outside no matter how hard it runs. If the filter is clean and the outdoor unit is clear and you're still not getting cool air, the refrigerant charge or the compressor needs a contractor's look, not a homeowner fix.
- What can I check before calling for HVAC repair?
- Check the thermostat settings and its batteries first, since a dead thermostat looks exactly like a dead system. Check the breaker panel for a tripped switch. Check the filter, since a filter clogged enough can shut a system down on its own or freeze the coil. If you have a furnace, look for a service switch nearby that may have been bumped off. Noting what you find, and what the system was doing right before it stopped, helps the contractor diagnose it faster once they're there.
