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.

New Orleans70129 HVAC questions, answered
How often should I change my filter in 70129?
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.
How quickly can a technician get to New Orleans?
For the 70129 service area our target response time is 60-90 minutes from the moment dispatch confirms your address. Real-world timing depends on the day — the first sustained heat or cold snap of the season is always our busiest period — but we hold technicians locally specifically so that window is achievable rather than aspirational.
What brands do you service in New Orleans?
All of them. Our 70129 technicians are trained on Mitsubishi Electric, Carrier, Goodman, 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.
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.
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.
What does a new system cost in New Orleans?
A complete residential replacement in the 70129 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.
