Air Conditioning Repair Vegas is a referral service. It connects people in Las Vegas, Nevada with independent local air conditioning contractors, by phone and through the request form on this site. It is not an air conditioning contractor, and it does not diagnose, repair, service or install equipment.
We say that plainly because Nevada takes the distinction seriously. The Nevada State Contractors Board licenses heating and air conditioning work under classification C-21, and the state’s exemption for small jobs does not extend to this trade. The work belongs to the contractor you hire. Our part is connecting you with one.
Call and we connect you with a local air conditioning contractor. It costs nothing to call.
How a call works
- You call the number on this site, or send the request form, and say what the system is doing, where the property is, where the equipment sits and how old it is.
- The request is received by this site and passed to an independent local air conditioning provider, who contacts you.
- You and the provider decide the next step, such as a visit to diagnose the fault or to measure for a new system. Any price, schedule, contract or warranty comes from that provider, and you decide whether to go ahead.

Why this site explains heat, permits and refrigerant
A caller who knows the rules is harder to mislead. In Las Vegas a normal year brings 78 days of 100 degrees or more, so repairs get agreed in a hurry, and a hurry is when it helps to know a few things already: that inside city limits a replacement needs a permit, which the contractor should obtain, that the State Contractors Board’s checklist caps a down payment at $1,000 or 10 percent of the contract price, whichever is less, unless the contractor has posted a consumer protection bond, and that an old R-22 system may still be serviced. The pages on air conditioning repair in Las Vegas, AC installation in Las Vegas and choosing an HVAC company in Las Vegas set those out. Cost figures on this site are national ranges published by a named third party, with their source and date. They are not Las Vegas prices and they are not quotes.
Where the information comes from
The figures and rules quoted on this site come from the National Weather Service office in Las Vegas, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, the Nevada State Contractors Board, Nevada statute and regulation, the City of Las Vegas Building and Safety Department, Clark County, the Nevada Housing Division, the federal efficiency rule for air conditioners, NV Energy, the Census Bureau and ENERGY STAR, along with equipment manufacturers’ published guidance on how parts fail. Rules, program dates and utility offers change, so confirm anything that affects your job with the agency or the contractor before work starts. If you spot a mistake, tell us through the contact page.
Check any contractor yourself
Before you hire anyone, including a contractor we connect you with, ask for the Nevada contractor’s license number and look it up on the Board’s license search. Confirm the business name, the status and the classification, and ask for proof of liability insurance. The Board advises getting at least three written bids for larger work and insisting on a written contract.
What to check before you hire
An active Nevada contractor’s license in a classification that covers the job, a monetary limit at least as high as the contract price, a written price before work starts, and a clear answer on who takes out the permit. The Board says the contractor should obtain it, not the homeowner.

Questions, answered
Is Air Conditioning Repair Vegas an air conditioning contractor?
No. Air Conditioning Repair Vegas is a referral service that connects callers in Las Vegas, Nevada with independent local air conditioning contractors. It does not perform or supervise any work and holds no contractor’s license. The estimate, the contract, the permit and any warranty are matters between you and whichever contractor you hire.
Is there a charge for calling?
No. Calling costs nothing, and you are free to hire nobody. Should you hire the contractor, the two of you settle the price. The Nevada State Contractors Board advises homeowners to insist on a written contract and not to pay cash.
Does Air Conditioning Repair Vegas stand behind the contractor’s work?
No. Air Conditioning Repair Vegas does not perform or supervise the work, and it does not set or back a contractor’s prices, schedule or warranty. Any warranty comes from the contractor you hire and from the equipment’s manufacturer, so ask for the terms in writing. For owner-occupied single-family homes, the State Contractors Board runs a Residential Recovery Fund for losses on contracts with license holders.
How do I know a contractor holds a license?
Ask for the license number and look it up on the Nevada State Contractors Board’s website, which is the record a contractor cannot write for itself. The classification to look for is C-21, Refrigeration and Air-Conditioning. Make the same check on anyone you are thinking of hiring, wherever you came across them.
