At Fast Affordable Air, we recently completed a residential air conditioning upgrade in Las Vegas. The home received a significant upgrade with the installation of a 3-ton 13.4 SEER2 Gas Package Unit, manufactured by EcoTemp by ICP. This advanced cooling system not only improves comfort but also boosts energy efficiency, benefiting the homeowner in multiple ways.
Project Overview
This project took place at a residential property where the existing air conditioning system was outdated and underperforming. The home’s occupants were experiencing uneven cooling, higher-than-usual energy bills, and an overall lack of comfort during the hot Nevada summer months.
Challenges
- The existing AC unit was not energy-efficient, causing inflated utility costs.
- The roof installation required careful sealing to prevent water leaks, especially since the new unit was larger than the old one.
- We needed to ensure that the electrical and gas lines were properly connected and up to code.
Installation Process
The installation process began with the removal of the old air conditioning system, as seen in the photos. We safely disconnected the gas and electrical lines and carefully lifted the old unit off the roof. After assessing the structural integrity of the roof, we prepped the surface for the new package unit.
The new 3-ton EcoTemp by ICP gas package unit was installed onto a freshly reinforced and sealed rooftop platform. As shown in the photos, the unit was securely mounted, and all lines, including gas, electrical, and drainage, were reconnected according to the latest HVAC codes. Additionally, the installation included custom flashing to ensure water does not seep into the home during rainstorms.
Key Features:
- 13.4 SEER2 rating: This high Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio means the unit uses less energy, providing the homeowner with lower monthly energy bills.
- Gas heating and electric cooling combo: This ensures year-round comfort, with efficient gas heating for colder months and electric cooling for the hot Las Vegas summers.
- Eco-friendly refrigerant: The system uses an environmentally friendly refrigerant, contributing to a greener planet.

The 13.4 SEER2 rating on this unit means it’s designed to meet or exceed government standards for energy efficiency, helping the homeowner reduce energy consumption while staying cool during the sweltering summer months. Its compact size is perfect for rooftop installations, and it integrates seamlessly with the existing ductwork of the home.
Benefits for the Homeowner
Installing this new air conditioning system has provided numerous benefits for the homeowner, including:
- Lower Energy Bills: The high SEER2 rating ensures that the system uses less energy to cool the home, translating into noticeable savings on monthly utility costs.
- Increased Comfort: With a properly sized 3-ton unit, the entire home experiences consistent cooling, eliminating hot spots and uneven temperatures.
