If your system is doing any of the following, it is worth a diagnostic before the fault gets more expensive.

Heating and air conditioning service built around New Orleans
Most of the work we do in New Orleans starts the same way: the system is running but the house is not comfortable. Before we replace anything, we measure airflow, static pressure and temperatures so you are paying for the actual fault.
In the 70128 area we see a lot of attic-mounted air handlers. Attic heat soak in summer and cold-soak in winter both shorten component life and make insulation checks part of a proper diagnosis.
The busiest week of our year in New Orleans is the first stretch of sustained march weather. Systems that idled all season fail in clusters.

New Orleans70128 HVAC questions, answered
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.
How often should I change my filter in 70128?
Monthly inspection and replacement every 60 to 90 days is the baseline. Homes in New Orleans with pets, ongoing construction nearby, or a high-MERV filter in an undersized return should move to monthly changes. A loaded filter is the single most common cause of frozen coils and failed blower motors.
Can you give me a price over the phone?
We can give you realistic ranges — and this page lists the ones homeowners in New Orleans see most often — but a firm price needs eyes on the equipment. Any company that quotes a final number without seeing the unit is usually quoting low to get through the door.
What does a new system cost in New Orleans?
A complete residential replacement in the 70128 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.
Why is my system short cycling?
Short cycling in New Orleans most often comes from a restricted airflow path — a loaded filter, a closed register, an undersized return — or from an oversized unit. It can also be a failing flame sensor or a pressure switch fault. We measure static pressure and temperature rise before concluding anything, because guessing at this one is expensive.
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.
