If your system is doing any of the following, it is worth a diagnostic before the fault gets more expensive.
Pilot light or hot surface igniter failing repeatedly

Water pooling around the indoor unit or ceiling stains
Dead or bulging run capacitor on the condenser
Heating and air conditioning service built around Covington
Extreme humidity and coastal salt air dominate; condensers need frequent cleaning and corrosion checks. Our Covington teams are set up for exactly that: rapid response, flat-rate pricing quoted before work begins, and no surprise overtime charge for nights or weekends.
Homes in St. Tammany County tend to be a mix of older builds with original ductwork and newer infill construction, which means airflow problems show up very differently from one street to the next.
If your system is over ten years old and you have had two repairs in the last two seasons, a replacement comparison is usually worth running even if the current unit still runs.

Covington70434 HVAC questions, answered
Are your technicians licensed and insured?
Every technician dispatched into Covington is licensed, insured and background-checked. We can provide proof of insurance on request before the visit if you would like it on file.
Do you charge extra for nights, weekends or holidays?
No. Our pricing in Louisiana is the same at 2am on a holiday as it is at 2pm on a Tuesday. Emergency calls are dispatched the same way as scheduled calls and carry no overtime premium.
What does a new system cost in Covington?
A complete residential replacement in the 70434 area generally lands between $6,000 and $13,000 installed, depending on capacity, efficiency rating and how much ductwork has to be modified. We always perform a Manual J load calculation first, because an oversized unit costs more to buy and runs worse than a correctly sized one.
Should I repair my system or replace it?
The usual rule of thumb: if the repair costs more than half the price of a replacement and the equipment is over ten years old, replacement generally wins. We will run that comparison with you on site and show you the maths — and if the honest answer is a $180 capacitor rather than a $9,000 system, that is the answer you get.
Do you handle ductless mini-split systems?
Yes. Ductless installations have grown quickly in Louisiana, particularly in older homes without existing ductwork. We service indoor heads, clean filters and drain lines, check line-set insulation and diagnose communication faults between heads and the outdoor unit.
Is my system low on refrigerant, or is it leaking?
Refrigerant does not get "used up" the way fuel does. If your charge is low, there is a leak somewhere — usually at a flare connection, a schrader core or the evaporator coil. We locate and repair the leak rather than simply topping up the charge, because a top-up alone will fail again.
