Las Vegas through the year
Summer heat is extreme, and garage refrigerators and freezers fail often. Choose units rated for high ambient temperatures and give them clearance for airflow.
Lake Mead water is very hard all year. Dishwasher heaters, spray arms, washer inlet valves and ice maker valves scale quickly, so descaling, rinse aid and, in many homes, a water softener are worthwhile.
Dust and wind clog condenser coils and dryer vent hoods. A quick check after windy days keeps airflow up.
Las Vegas appliance repair questions
Is Las Vegas water hard?
Very hard. The water district publishes hardness figures.
Do I need a softener?
Many homes use one. Check local rules on discharge.
How do I protect my ice maker?
Replace the filter on schedule and consider softening.
Why do Las Vegas dishwashers leave white spots?
Very hard Lake Mead water leaves mineral film as dishes dry. Rinse aid, a monthly cleaning cycle and, for many homes, a water softener keep glassware clear.
How often should I replace my refrigerator filter in Las Vegas?
Follow the manufacturer's schedule, often around six months, and consider changing it sooner if ice cubes shrink or flow slows, since very hard water loads filters faster.
