Diagnostic and repair for central air conditioning that won't cool, blows warm, freezes up, or short-cycles. Common New Orleans summer failures — blown capacitors, seized contactors, low refrigerant, clogged condensate lines backing up in the humidity — are handled in a single visit when parts are stocked.
Central air conditioning changeouts with proper load sizing for the home, not guesswork. A system matched to your square footage and insulation runs quieter, dehumidifies better in the Gulf climate, and costs less to run through peak cooling season.
Heat pump repair and installation for homes that want one system for both mild New Orleans winters and long summers. Heat pumps suit this climate well since heating demand here is short and concentrated December through February.
Ductless mini-split installation for older homes with no ductwork, added rooms, garage conversions, and attic build-outs. Mini-splits matter when running new ducts through a historic Marigny or Treme home would mean tearing into plaster walls.
Gas furnace and electric heating repair for the cold snaps that hit the region in winter. Heating runs less here than up north, so systems sit idle for months and often need attention when the first hard freeze arrives.
Seasonal maintenance that cleans coils, checks refrigerant charge, clears condensate drains, and catches worn parts before summer. Book tune-ups in early spring to avoid the May-through-September rush.
Duct inspection, sealing, and replacement for leaky or crushed runs in attics and crawlspaces. Sealed ducts matter in New Orleans because humid attic air pulled through gaps loads the AC and raises the bill.
Air filtration, whole-home dehumidification, and UV treatment to cut mold, dust, and the damp-air musty smell that Gulf humidity brings. Improved indoor air quality helps allergy-prone households in a city where humidity stays high most of the year.
If your AC is under about 10 years old and the failure is a single part — a capacitor, contactor, or blower motor — a repair is the right call and gets you cool same-day in most cases. If the unit is 12–15 years or older, uses R-22 refrigerant, and the compressor is failing, a replacement usually costs less over two summers than chasing repairs on a dying system. If you want the lowest install price and your ductwork is sound, a straight central AC changeout fits best; if you have a New Orleans home with no existing ducts — a Bywater shotgun or a raised Broadmoor cottage — ductless mini-splits let you cool room by room without tearing into plaster. The trade-off is upfront cost versus long-term efficiency: a higher-SEER system and mini-splits cost more to install but cut the summer electric bill that runs from May through September. When you're unsure, a free on-site visit sizes the load and tells you honestly whether to repair or replace.

New Orleans sits below sea level with subtropical humidity that runs high nearly year-round, so air conditioners here fight moisture as hard as heat — condensate lines clog, coils grow mold, and systems that would coast in a drier climate get pushed to their limit from May through September. Many homes near Bayou St. John and in Lakeview are raised or were rebuilt after flooding, which changes how ductwork routes through crawlspaces and attics and why proper duct sealing matters more here than most places. Salt air off Lake Pontchartrain also wears on outdoor condenser coils in Algiers Point and along the lakefront faster than it does inland, which is why coil cleaning is part of every maintenance visit.

Same-day AC repair is usually available in New Orleans outside of the busiest heat waves, and calls are prioritized when a home has no cooling. Cooling demand peaks May through September, so response times run longest then — calling early in the day helps. Reach the crew at (504) 238-4634 or text a photo of the unit and its data plate.
The on-site minimum in New Orleans is $150, which covers the diagnostic visit and the first repair labor. Common fixes like a capacitor or contactor typically land between $150 and $350, while larger repairs involving refrigerant or a blower motor run higher. Prices given over the phone are ballparks — the exact figure is confirmed in writing on-site before any work starts.
Repair makes sense in New Orleans when the system is under about 10 years old and the fault is a single part. Replacement is usually the better value when the unit is 12–15 years or older, uses R-22 refrigerant, or the compressor is going — two hard summers of repairs often cost more than a new system. A free on-site load calculation gives an honest recommendation for your home.

Yes — ductless mini-splits are a strong fit for older New Orleans homes like Bywater and Marigny shotguns that never had central ducts. They cool room by room without cutting into historic plaster walls, and a single-zone system installed typically ranges from $3,500 to $6,500. An on-site visit confirms how many zones the layout needs and the exact price.
