Ductless Mini-Split Installation in Louisiana: what's different

Ductless Mini-Split Installation across Louisiana depends on the climate (IECC climate zones 2). Heat pumps fit hot-humid climates well because winters are mild, but the long cooling season means the outdoor unit works most of the year and needs its coil kept clean.

Louisiana is hot, humid and storm-prone. Air conditioners carry the load for most of the year, humidity control is critical, and hurricane season brings flooding and power outages that affect HVAC equipment.

Mechanical contractors in Louisiana are licensed through the Louisiana State Licensing Board for Contractors. Ask any contractor for their license number before work starts, and expect a written price for ductless Mini-Split Installation.

Entergy serves much of the state, with Cleco, SWEPCO and cooperatives elsewhere. Entergy, Atmos Energy and CenterPoint supply natural gas in many areas.
