Is Electrification Worth It in Nevada?
Las Vegas: 2,600 heating degree days, 3,200 cooling degree days, and NV Energy.
You run AC from May through September. Heating is light but you still need it—desert nights get cold. Electricity costs $0.13/kWh. Natural gas runs $1.30/therm but isn't available everywhere. NV Energy offers solar rebates and net metering (though they keep trying to kill it).
Heat pumps make sense for most Nevada homes. Your cooling load is the big cost, and a high-SEER heat pump will save $350-600/year compared to an old AC unit. Pair it with solar and you're looking at near-zero summer electric bills. Solar payback in Nevada is 6-8 years—pretty solid for the desert.
