Reliable Cooling Repair When Reno Summers Heat Up
It is the middle of a July afternoon, the thermometer outside your Old Southwest home is pushing triple digits, and the air coming from your vents has gone warm. You cycle the thermostat, wait, and hear nothing kick on. In a high desert basin at roughly 4,500 feet, a dead air conditioner is not a small inconvenience.
That is where we come in. Legacy Heating, Cooling, Plumbing & Electrical has kept Reno homes comfortable since 1999, and our team answers the phone around the clock. If your system has quit when you need it most, call (725) 253-2522 and we will get moving.
Reno summers are hot and dry, with large swings between daytime highs and nighttime lows. And the low humidity does not make a broken AC any easier to live with when the sun is bearing down. Because Reno sits east of the Sierra Nevada in a partial rain shadow, the afternoon heat can build fast across the metro core and the outlying high desert alike. When your cooling fails, waiting until business hours is not an option, and it should not have to be.
24/7 Emergency AC Services in Reno, NV
We are open 24/7, Monday through Sunday, including holidays. Our EPA-certified technicians work throughout Washoe County, the county seat, and reach across the contiguous metro area that ties Reno to Sparks just to the east. Whether you are in the walkable Midtown District, up near the University of Nevada, Reno, or out toward Somersett on the west side, help is not far away.
An emergency AC call can mean a lot of different things. Here are the situations we handle most often:
- No cold air coming from the vents on a hot day
- A system that trips the breaker or will not turn on at all
- A refrigerant leak that has left cooling weak or nonexistent
- Loud grinding, buzzing, or rattling from the outdoor unit
- Water pooling around the indoor air handler
- A frozen coil that has shut cooling down entirely
- A thermostat that no longer talks to the equipment
The good news is that most of these problems are fixable the same visit, and our trucks arrive stocked to do it. Our full cooling lineup covers far more than emergency repairs:
- AC Repair
- AC Filter Replacements
- AC Tune-Up
- AC Replacement
- Emergency AC Services
- Duct Cleaning
- Duct Sealing
- Ductless Mini Split
- Indoor Air Quality Services

Why Reno Homeowners Choose Legacy Heating, Cooling, Plumbing & Electrical
We have been at this since the late 1990s, and we are fully licensed and insured. That matters when someone is working on the equipment that keeps your family cool through a Reno heat wave. But experience is only part of it.
The reality is that homeowners want to know the company they call will stand behind the work. We back every job with a 100% satisfaction guarantee, and in 2025 we earned the Angi Super Service Award. We also offer free estimates, so you can understand your options before committing to a repair or replacement.
Even better, our Lions Club Membership, watched over by our lion mascot Leo, can save members up to $2,000 a year across HVAC, plumbing, and electrical services. And we are proud to support the Wounded Warrior Project as part of giving back to the communities we serve.
Because we are a four-trade operation, one call handles more than cooling. We also cover heating, plumbing, and electrical, from water heaters and drain jetting to EV charging installation and smart home services.
Serving Reno and the Surrounding Area
Our Reno office at 9410 Prototype Dr #20, Reno, NV 89521 puts us close to the neighborhoods and outlying communities we serve. And with major roadways like Interstate 80 running east-west and US 395 north-south, our technicians move quickly across town and out to Sparks, Sun Valley, Spanish Springs, Verdi, and beyond. The Truckee River may run cool through downtown, but that does nothing for a house without working AC.
