Las Vegas summers test everything: people, homes, and especially your plumbing and AC. When the thermometer stays in the triple digits for weeks at a time, air conditioners run day and night and plumbing systems see heavier use. Families spend more time indoors, which means sinks, toilets, and showers all work harder too. Without upkeep, little problems quickly grow into breakdowns that interrupt your comfort and spike repair costs. Staying on top of plumbing and AC maintenance is one of the simplest ways to keep your home in Henderson, Summerlin, and across Las Vegas running the way it should.
Essential Summer Plumbing Checks
High water use in summer puts more stress on pipes and fixtures. A few small checks now can help prevent bigger headaches later:
- Inspect faucets and pipes for leaks
- Even a slow drip wastes gallons of water, and in the desert every drop matters. That dripping outdoor faucet or damp spot under a sink can add up to hundreds of gallons lost in a single season. Catching leaks early saves money and helps conserve water when demand is already high.
- Clear drains of buildup
- Summer cookouts, kids home from school, and guests passing through all add more strain to kitchens and bathrooms. Food scraps, hair, and soap residue build up fast and cause slow drains. Scheduling professional drain cleaning keeps water moving and helps you avoid backups and odors during the busiest time of year.
- Check water pressure
- Water pressure that is too high can wear out pipes and fixtures, while low pressure often points to mineral buildup from Las Vegas’s hard water. If showers feel weak or faucets sputter, a plumbing checkup can tell you whether it is a quick fix or a deeper issue that needs attention.
These small steps protect your plumbing and stretch the life of your system.
AC Maintenance Tips for Peak Summer
Your AC is the hardest working system in the house during summer. If it is not maintained, it can slow down just when you need it most. A few important steps include:
- Clean or replace filters
- Dust storms and dry air clog filters quickly. A dirty filter makes the unit run longer, which shows up on your power bill. Swapping or cleaning filters every month or two keeps air moving and lowers energy costs.
- Check thermostat and cooling performance
- Walk through your home and make sure rooms are cooling evenly. If the upstairs feels hotter or one side of the house never quite cools off, it may point to duct leaks or a system that is undersized. A thermostat that does not respond correctly can also waste energy and make the house less comfortable.
- Schedule a professional inspection
- A technician can spot refrigerant leaks, worn parts, or dirty coils before they turn into major problems. Professional service also helps keep warranties valid and extends the life of your system.
Preventive AC service lowers the risk of a mid-summer breakdown and helps manage the steep power bills that come with running cooling systems around the clock.

FAQs
How often should I inspect plumbing in summer?
At least once each season. Homes with older pipes or signs of low pressure may benefit from more frequent checkups.
Can clogged drains affect my AC system?
Yes. A clogged AC drain line can back water into the system, and plumbing clogs add stress when the AC is already working hard.
What does seasonal maintenance cost?
It depends on the services you need, but it is always far less than an emergency repair during the peak of summer. Think of it as insurance against high bills, wasted water, and sudden breakdowns.
