Our Capabilities
Comprehensive HVAC Services for Greater New Orleans
From historic Uptown homes to downtown commercial buildings, we provide licensed mechanical service designed for Louisiana’s heat, humidity, long run times, and mixed building stock.
Core HVAC Services
We service all major brands, including Carrier, Trane, Lennox, Rheem, Daikin, Mitsubishi, and Bosch. Every repair and installation is performed by a licensed professional.
Residential AC Repair
Fast, accurate diagnostics for split systems and heat pumps. We carry universal parts on our trucks to fix bad capacitors, failed fan motors, and frozen coils on the first visit.
Commercial Rooftop Repair
Specialized service for commercial package units (RTUs), chillers, and VRF systems. An HVAC failure in a restaurant or office building can mean lost revenue and unsafe operating conditions.
AC System Installation
Professional replacement of aging equipment. We perform strict Manual J load calculations to ensure your new system controls humidity perfectly without short-cycling.
Additional Mechanical Expertise
Ductless Mini-Splits
Perfect for historic New Orleans homes, room additions, or solving hot spots. We are certified installers for premium ductless brands, providing whisper-quiet operation and precise zone control without the need to tear open plaster walls for ductwork.
Preventive Maintenance
Stop paying for emergency repairs. Our maintenance plans keep your system running efficiently all year. We clean coils, clear condensate drains, test electrical components under load, and verify refrigerant charge before the summer heat hits.
Indoor Air Quality
New Orleans humidity breeds mold and mildew inside ductwork. We install whole-home dehumidifiers, UV light purifiers, and high-efficiency filtration systems to protect your family’s health and keep your home comfortable at higher temperatures.
Ductwork Services
Leaky ducts waste 20–30% of your cooled air. We inspect, seal, repair, and replace failing ductwork in hot attics and tight crawlspaces, ensuring the air you pay to cool actually reaches your living space.
Residential AC Repair: Diagnose Before You Replace
A residential cooling call can start with a blank thermostat, warm air, a frozen line, water around the air handler, or an outdoor unit that only hums. Those symptoms overlap, so we do not price a repair from one clue. We confirm the thermostat call, power, safeties, airflow, motor operation, electrical condition, temperature split, drainage, and refrigerant performance in a logical sequence.
Common first-visit repairs include capacitors, contactors, clogged drains, thermostat problems, and some fan motors. A compressor, communicating control board, model-specific ECM motor, or leaking evaporator coil may require additional sourcing. If the system is iced, it also has to thaw before refrigerant readings mean anything. We tell you what can be completed immediately and what needs a second step.
The price depends on access, the failed component, equipment design, refrigerant, part availability, and whether another condition caused the failure. A capacitor in an open side yard is a different job from a blower repair in a low attic after hours. We provide the itemized scope before authorized work begins rather than publishing a number that ignores the building.
Repair usually makes sense when the equipment is otherwise sound and the failure is isolated. Replacement deserves a serious look when the system has a failed major component, repeated leaks, widespread corrosion, obsolete refrigerant, or multiple expensive problems. Our AC repair page explains the diagnostic sequence and what to do while you wait for a technician.
Commercial Rooftop Service: Protect the Operation
Commercial package units have different failure patterns and consequences. A restaurant RTU deals with roof heat, grease, exhaust imbalance, and long hours. An office unit may have an economizer stuck open, a belt slipping under load, a failed phase monitor, or controls that do not match the occupied schedule. A medical or food-service space can have temperature requirements that turn a routine failure into an urgent operating problem.
We inspect the refrigeration circuit, electrical sections, belts, bearings, blower assembly, filters, coils, drain system, dampers, economizer operation, disconnects, and visible curb conditions. On larger motors and variable-frequency drives, we record the operating values that help separate a mechanical load from an electrical or control fault. Safe roof access matters; work can be delayed if the site lacks a secure ladder, hatch, guard condition, or approved access path.
For replacement projects, the equipment is only one line in the scope. The job can require a curb adapter, crane, permits, electrical modifications, duct transitions, roof protection, controls work, and a plan that limits downtime. We coordinate the mechanical side and identify the related trades before the lift is scheduled.
Preventive service is most valuable when it is tied to actual conditions: filter loading, belt wear, coil contamination, drain history, electrical readings, and tenant or kitchen schedules. A generic checklist is less useful than a record that shows what is changing. Read more about our commercial rooftop HVAC work.
AC Installation: Size the Load, Then Choose the Equipment
A replacement should correct the old system’s problems instead of repeating them. We start with the building load, duct condition, return path, electrical service, drain route, equipment location, and the way the occupants actually use the space. In New Orleans, humidity control is part of sizing. An oversized unit can satisfy the thermostat too quickly, stop before removing enough moisture, and leave the house cold but clammy.
Equipment choices include single-stage, multi-stage, and variable-capacity systems. The right choice depends on budget, comfort priorities, controls, serviceability, and how well the duct system can support the required airflow. A high-efficiency outdoor unit connected to restricted ducts will not deliver its rated performance. We discuss the equipment efficiency rating and the installation details that determine whether you receive it in the field.
A proper installation includes protecting the work area, recovering refrigerant, removing equipment safely, preparing the pad or support, making airtight duct connections, brazing refrigerant lines with nitrogen flowing, evacuating the system, setting airflow, verifying drainage, charging to the manufacturer’s method, and recording commissioning values. Permits and required inspections belong in the project plan, not as a surprise after installation day.
Replacement pricing is driven by capacity, staging, efficiency, indoor and outdoor equipment, duct corrections, line-set condition, electrical work, access, permits, and controls. We separate manufacturer equipment coverage from contractor labor terms so you know what each warranty does. Visit our AC installation page for the full process.
Where Our Scope Stops
Mechanical work often touches roofing, structural framing, plumbing, electrical service, and building controls. We handle the HVAC scope and clearly identify when a licensed specialist in another trade is required. We will not hide roof damage under a curb adapter, energize unsafe wiring, or promise a controls repair outside the equipment we can properly support.

Tell us whether the problem is residential, commercial, repair, or replacement. We will route the request to the right type of visit.
Choose the Visit by the Problem, Not the Equipment Label
If a system has stopped cooling, start with a diagnostic visit even when you suspect replacement. If the equipment still runs but comfort, humidity, noise, or operating cost has become unacceptable, request an assessment that includes the building and ductwork. Commercial callers should identify the affected tenant, unit number, roof access, and operating deadline. Clear dispatch information gets the right tools and the right technician to the property faster.
