What’s the best thermostat setting for summer in New Orleans?

For optimal comfort and energy savings during summer in New Orleans, set your thermostat to 78°F (25°C) when you're home. If you're away, raising it to 85°F can help reduce cooling costs. Using a programmable or smart thermostat can make these adjustments automatic and more efficient.

Do you provide emergency after-hours HVAC service in New Orleans?

We are available 24/7 to take your call for emergencies. Our appointment hours are listed above.

How can I improve indoor air quality in New Orleans?

To improve indoor air quality in New Orleans, start by regularly changing your HVAC filters, scheduling routine maintenance, and using air purifiers. Consider duct cleaning if your home has excessive dust or allergy symptoms. Proper ventilation and keeping your home clean are key to healthier air.

How often should I service my HVAC system in New Orleans?

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.

Do you offer HVAC financing in New Orleans?

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.

How often should I have my furnace serviced in New Orleans?

It’s recommended to have your furnace professionally serviced once a year, ideally in the fall before the heating season begins in New Orleans. Annual maintenance helps ensure safe operation, improves efficiency, and can extend the life of your system.

How often should I have my air ducts cleaned in New Orleans?

It’s generally recommended to have your air ducts cleaned every 3 to 5 years in New Orleans, or more often if you notice dust buildup, allergies, or musty odors. Homes with pets, recent renovations, or high pollen levels in Jefferson may benefit from more frequent cleanings to maintain healthy indoor air quality.

How often should I schedule AC maintenance in New Orleans?

You should schedule AC maintenance once a year, ideally in the spring before the cooling season starts in LA. Regular tune-ups help your system run efficiently, prevent breakdowns, and extend the life of your unit, especially important in New Orleans's summer climate.

What size HVAC system is right for my home in New Orleans?

The right HVAC system size for your home in New Orleans depends on factors like square footage, insulation, number of windows, and local climate. A professional load calculation ensures your system is properly sized for comfort and efficiency. Oversized or undersized units can lead to higher energy bills and uneven temperatures.

“They did a great job coming out to my house and making sure that my heating system was running correctly. The service technician was excellent. He was on time very professional and let me know about any potential issues with my system in the future, without applying pressure to make me feel like I had to spend money today. I’ve been with one hour air-conditioning and heating for quite some time now and they always do a fantastic job. I couldn’t recommend them more.”

“Brandon and Matt were amazing! They were thorough and explained everything they were doing. I highly recommend! The last maintenance guy who came out barely spent 30 minutes at my home. Brandon and Matt spend almost 2 hours and accomplished so much. They were super polite and helpful. Thanks guys!!!”

“Brandon and Matt did a great job with my service. Took the additional steps to move an immovable beam in order to replace coils - saving me the expense and time to get a contractor. Greatly appreciate the extra effort. They communicated work to be done, both before and after job was complete. Service was done professionally, cleanly, and expeditiously. Thank you!”

“Josh was great! He was kind, knowledgeable, and professional. He explained my options for what I needed. We also discussed which repairs could wait versus those that needed to be completed right away. He took before and after pictures and explained them to me so I would understand what he was referencing. I would recommend this company, specifically Josh, the technician who helped me.”
