AC Repair in New Orleans: what's different
New Orleans AC repair deals with heat, humidity and flooding. Raised homes often have ductwork under the floor, exposed to moisture and pests, while slab homes in newer areas use attic ducts. Mold in air handlers and clogged drains are common problems.
After storms, outdoor units and ductwork exposed to floodwater should be inspected before use. Shotgun houses with tall ceilings can be hard to cool evenly, so ductless systems are a common upgrade.
Ask the tech to inspect ducts under raised homes for moisture, pests and disconnections. In New Orleans, duct problems under the floor are a common hidden cause of poor cooling and humidity.
New Orleans climate

FAQ
AC Repair questions
Why is there mold in my New Orleans air handler?+
Constant humidity, clogged drains and poor airflow allow mold to grow. Cleaning, drain repair and UV lights can help.
Should I repair or replace my AC?+
Repair is usually the right call if the system is under 10 years old and the repair costs less than a third of a new system. Past 12–15 years in Las Vegas heat, or with an R-22 leak, replacement often makes more sense.
Why does my AC run but not cool?+
The most common causes are a dirty filter or coil, a failed outdoor fan motor or capacitor, or low refrigerant from a leak. A tech can tell which with a pressure and temperature test.
