Local homes
Metairie housing and HVAC
Many homes are slab-on-grade or raised houses with attic air handlers, and older homes may have ducts under raised floors. Heat pumps and gas furnaces with central AC are both common.
Metairie has hot, very humid summers and mild winters. Heavy rain, hurricanes and street flooding are recurring concerns, and Hurricane Ida in 2021 caused weeks-long power outages.
Permits and seasonal timing in Metairie
Jefferson Parish's Department of Inspection and Code Enforcement issues mechanical permits, and Louisiana licenses mechanical contractors through the State Licensing Board for Contractors.
Humidity and mold
Constant humidity can lead to mold in ducts and on coils, especially with oversized systems that short-cycle and never run long enough to dry the air.
Flooding
Street and storm flooding during heavy downpours can damage outdoor units and ductwork under raised homes, even away from the lake.
Long outages
Hurricanes can cause extended outages, and equipment should be inspected before restarting.
