Why It Matters More Here
Southern Nevada summers place heavy demand on cooling systems.
A system failure can become urgent very quickly.
The AC dying in July is not a minor inconvenience in Las Vegas.
Old Does Not Mean Broken
Do not reject a house merely because the system is older.
Instead determine its condition, maintenance, and performance.
Then budget realistically for what the system may need.
Home Warranty Is Not the Same as a New HVAC System
Do not assume a warranty will replace an old system whenever you want.
Read the coverage and limitations.
Warranties have terms, exclusions, and claims processes that are very different from a new system.
Budget
If you are buying near the top of your financial comfort zone, an aging HVAC system deserves even more consideration.
The last thing you want is a large replacement cost right after closing.
Important
An HVAC professional or qualified inspector evaluates the system and estimates condition and likely costs. Lisa is not an HVAC contractor or inspector, and she cannot guarantee inspection results.
