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.
