SECOND OPINION · LAS VEGAS
Got a Big AC Replacement Quote? Get a Measured Second Opinion Before You Sign.
A quote is an opinion. A measurement is a fact.
Bring your written quote. EGO HVAC will run a $95 Photo-Proof Diagnostic (credited to repair, or $250 toward replacement), document the system with photos and measurements, and show whether repair or replacement is actually justified.

WHO THIS IS FOR
They said replace. We'll prove whether it's true.
This is for Las Vegas homeowners who were just handed a big replacement quote, often $8,000 to $20,000, and want to know whether it is actually justified before they sign anything.
Plenty of times what looked like an $8,000 replacement turned out to be a far smaller repair. The only way to know is to measure the system, which is exactly what the $95 Photo-Proof Diagnostic (credited to repair, or $250 toward replacement) does.
BRING YOUR WRITTEN QUOTE
We read it line by line, then check it against the system.
Bring the written replacement quote you already received. We compare what it claims against the real, measured condition of your equipment. If the replacement is justified, the data will show it. If it is not, the data will show that too.
No quote in hand yet? That is fine. The diagnostic stands on its own, and you still leave with a written recommendation.
WHAT WE CHECK
We test, not guess.
Every reading is measured and documented. No nameplate guessing, no parts cannon.
WHAT YOU GET
Photos, measurements, and a written recommendation.
Every second opinion is a full diagnostic, not a walk-around estimate. You leave with documentation, not just an opinion.
- A written System Health Report with photos of your actual components
- Measured readings, not age-based guesses
- An honest repair vs. replace comparison with costs
- $95 flat fee, credited to repair, or $250 toward replacement (or $250 toward a replacement booked within 14 days)
- No sales pitch. No commission. Owner on every job.
THE HONEST ANSWER
Sometimes it's a repair. Sometimes it's time. We prove which.
When replacement is justified
- ! Compressor failure on an older system.
- ! An R-22 system with a real, confirmed refrigerant leak.
- ! Repeat repairs piling up over a short window.
- ! Measured efficiency loss with climbing runtime and bills.
- ! A repair cost approaching a large share of replacement value.
When repair may still make sense
- ✓ A single failed part (capacitor, contactor, motor) with the rest in spec.
- ✓ Correct refrigerant charge and no major leak.
- ✓ A system under roughly 10 to 12 years that otherwise measures healthy.
- ✓ The first real repair, not a pattern of breakdowns.
- ✓ A repair cost that is a small fraction of replacement.
These are guidelines, not verdicts. Your specific system gets measured. See how we lay it out on the Repair-or-Replace page.
WHY EGO IS DIFFERENT
Proof first. Then options.
Proof-first
You see photos and measurements of your actual system, so the recommendation is something you can verify, not just trust.
No pressure
Owner-operated, no commission. You get the data and the time to decide. No "price expires today."
Permit handled after replacement
If replacement is the honest answer, it is installed cleanly, hauled away, permit and inspection process handled after replacement, and warrantied in writing. See what's included.
THE PROBLEM
Why Homeowners Get Overquoted
Las Vegas has more HVAC companies per capita than almost any U.S. metro. Many run on commission-based models where technicians are incentivized to sell replacements, not fix problems. Common red flags:
- They quote a replacement without testing the system
- They say your refrigerant is 'obsolete' (R-22 phaseout fear)
- They pressure you with "today only" pricing
- They don't show you any diagnostic data
- The quote comes before a real diagnosis
If any of this sounds familiar, a measured second opinion could save you thousands.
