Heating and air conditioning service built around New Orleans
If your high-capacity split air conditioning with electric heat has started short cycling, blowing warm air or making a noise it never used to make, you are not alone — New Orleans generates some of the highest call volume we handle in Louisiana. Extreme humidity and coastal salt air dominate; condensers need frequent cleaning and corrosion checks.
A large share of the equipment we service in New Orleans was installed by a builder to a minimum spec. That usually means an undersized return, a cheap filter rack and a condenser sitting close to a wall.
We recommend two maintenance visits a year in Louisiana: one before March through November and one before rarely required. It is the single highest-return thing a homeowner can do for equipment life.

What New Orleans homeowners say

— Kevin M., verified New Orleans customer
New Orleans70116 HVAC questions, answered
What causes water to leak from the indoor unit?
Almost always a blocked condensate drain line, a failed drain pan float switch, or a frozen coil melting faster than the pan can handle. In New Orleans we see algae and dust clogging drain lines constantly during March through November. It is a fast fix but ignoring it ends in ceiling damage.
Is my carbon monoxide risk something I should worry about?
With any combustion appliance, yes. A cracked heat exchanger can spill carbon monoxide into the living space, and it is odourless. We perform combustion analysis and a CO test on every furnace and boiler call in New Orleans, and we recommend a working CO alarm on every level of the home regardless of who services your equipment.
Do you offer maintenance plans?
We do. A two-visit plan in Louisiana covers a spring cooling inspection and an autumn heating inspection, priority scheduling during peak weeks, discounted repairs and no diagnostic fee. Members rarely end up on the emergency list.
Do you service commercial and light commercial properties?
Yes. Around New Orleans we handle rooftop packaged units, split systems, VRF/VRV installations and building automation faults for offices, retail, restaurants and multi-tenant buildings, including after-hours scheduling so you are not disrupting trade.
What brands do you service in New Orleans?
All of them. Our 70116 technicians are trained on Amana, Mitsubishi Electric, Carrier, Rheem and essentially every other residential brand sold in Louisiana, including discontinued lines. We keep a broad parts catalogue on the trucks for exactly that reason.
What does a new system cost in New Orleans?
A complete residential replacement in the 70116 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.
