Do you service emergencies after-hours?

Yes, we offer emergency services 24-hours a day, year-round.

How much will my service cost?

The size and complexity of your HVAC issue will determine the cost. Because our trained, licensed HVAC technicians must diagnose the issue before we are able to quote you an accurate cost, we require an appointment to be set to complete a diagnostic on your system. Once the diagnostic is complete, your One Hour(R) technician will walk you through all costs using our Straightforward Pricing(R) Guide so there are never any surprise fees.

How often should I service my HVAC system?

It's ideal to service your cooling system each spring and your heating system each fall to ensure you find small issues before they become big problems.

How often do I need to change my HVAC filter?

Your filter should be changed every one to three months, depending on conditions in your home and your region's climate.

Do you offer purchase financing?

We work built relationships with several lenders to ensure our customers are able to restore comfort in their homes. Ask your technician about your financing options.

What are the advantages of a smart thermostat?

Smart thermostats learn a household's patterns and adjust heating and cooling according to when a home is occupied, give homeowners the ability to control the thermostat remotely, and enable homeowners to reduce their energy use, saving you money.

HVAC means Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning. HVAC systems refer to air conditioners, furnaces, and any unit that cools indoor spaces during the summer and warm them in the winter. In general, an HVAC system takes in air, heats or cools that air, and blows it into a room or any indoor space. While many homes have separate air conditioning and heating units, others have a heat pump that cools and heats the house. Not only do HVAC systems maintain desired temperatures, but they also improve indoor air quality and regulate humidity levels. But most importantly, these units provide comfort all year round.

What is a SEER2 Rating?

The SEER2 (seasonal energy efficiency ratio) is a measure of the efficiency of your heating and cooling system.The higher the SEER2 rating, the more efficiently a unit operates. The SEER2 rating of any given unit can range anywhere from 13 to 21.

“Mr. Justin, the repair technician, arrived ahead of time on Sunday morning. He assessed the situation and explained the issue with the unit. Since this was on a Sunday, the part could not be secured until Monday. I received a call Monday morning that he was picking up the part and could do the repair that same day. Long story short, unit repaired, service plan added, and surge protector installed all at one time. Very pleased with his service!”

“Russell was a phenomenal tech. AC unit went out ~9PM, got online and scheduled an appointment. Russell arrived on time early the next AM, was cordial and polite, explained the intricacies of a high-performing system and fixed all issues we had. Answered all questions without issue and presented us options for future consideration.”

“Michael Marvin was very thorough and explained everything he was doing to get our AC up and running at 7pm. Grateful he took care of everything and explained what we can look for in the next few years. An emergency turned into relief to have him able to fix our unit tonight and not having to wait for parts to be ordered. Signed up for the maintenance plan with the hope of never having an emergency again! Highly recommend!”

General Manager

HVAC work is truly Matt’s passion. At the age of 13, Matthew Rick started working with his grandfather in the Heating and Air Business. Matt started working for One Hour as a service technician over 10 years ago; he held the title of Top Customer Service Technician for many years. Now, as the General and Service Manager, Matt is hard-pressed in making sure that all employees provide each customer with the highest quality experience. Matt has been a strong hand in helping develop and advance the company’s protocols, standards, and core values.

Kelly Scott

Service Manager

For the past 30 years and counting, Kelly Scott has dedicated himself to providing top-notch HVAC work for South Louisiana residents; his motto being, “If you cannot service your customer properly, someone else will.” Kelly moved to Louisiana with his mom, a proud member of the United States Army, at the beginning of his high school days. During that time, he picked up a part-time job at a small, local A/C and Heating Company. From there he moved on to opening his own business in 1992 and later merged his HVAC family with ours in March of 2016. His favorite thing about working for One Hour is the readiness of resources and people to learn, grow, and teach. When he’s not roaming about the office making classic dad jokes, Kelly can be found in his garage tinkering with classic cars. His favorite? The 72 Ford Torino.

He has received certifications from the North American Technical Excellence Program (NATE), the Building Performance Institute (B.P.I.), and three from the National Comfort Institute (N.C.I.). In the ongoing 4 years that he has graced us with his expertise, he says that the biggest lesson our company has taught him is that the better a company treats its employees, the better the employees will treat the customer. His life motto? “Life is like a box of chocolates. You never know what you’re going to get.”
