AC Installation and Repair in West Lake Mead, NV

Air conditioning work on West Lake Mead

The western end of Lake Mead Boulevard climbs toward the Spring Mountains and the Red Rock area, at the outer edge of the Las Vegas Valley. It is the quieter, higher and more open end of the corridor, with residential development giving way to desert as the road continues west, and it sits a good deal above the elevation of the valley floor.

Higher and more exposed cuts both ways

Elevation buys cooler nights, and a system on this side of the valley usually gets better overnight recovery than the same equipment near the center would. What elevation does not buy is shelter. The western edge is open ground, so wind driven dust and grit reach outdoor units with very little in the way, and homes on the outer streets often have long unobstructed western exposure that puts serious afternoon sun load on walls and glazing. Shading and glazing do as much for comfort here as the tonnage on the pad.

The load a West Lake Mead system is actually carrying

Las Vegas averages a July high of 104 degrees on roughly 4.18 inches of rain across the whole year. In July and August a push of monsoon moisture raises humidity and triggers scattered thunderstorms, and the outflow winds ahead of those storms are exactly what drives desert dust into a condenser on an exposed lot.
