AC INSTALLATION & REPLACEMENT IN NORTH LOUISIANA

A complete replacement — AC, matched coil, and air handler — is quoted as one flat-rate number covering old-unit removal, permit, and haul-off. What moves that number is the efficiency tier you pick (14–15 SEER2 standard, 16 SEER2 high-efficiency, 18+ SEER2 premium), the tonnage your home actually needs, and any duct or electrical work. We size the home with a load calc and give you the price before any work starts.

With our long, hot cooling season, efficiency pays back faster here than in cooler states. A 14.3 SEER2 system meets code and is the budget pick; 16 SEER2 is the value sweet spot with a two-stage compressor; and 18+ SEER2 variable-speed cuts summer bills the most and controls humidity best. We show you the payback math for your actual home and let you decide — no pressure.

Bigger isn't better. An oversized AC short-cycles — it cools the air fast but shuts off before it pulls the humidity out, leaving your house cold and clammy, which is miserable in North Louisiana. An undersized one runs nonstop. A Manual-J load calc sizes the system to your home so it dehumidifies properly and lasts longer. We run one on every install.

If the system is under 10–12 years old and the repair is small, repair it — we'll tell you so. Replacement makes sense with a failed compressor, an old R-22 unit, repeated breakdowns, or when a repair approaches half the cost of a new system. We give you honest numbers on both, not a sales pitch.

A straightforward same-footprint replacement is usually a single day. Jobs that add or modify ductwork, convert to a heat pump, or install multi-zone mini-splits can run two days. We give you the timeline with the quote, and the crew protects your floors and cleans up before they leave.

They can be a strong choice. A heat pump cools like a standard AC in summer and heats efficiently through our mild winters, often at a lower operating cost than a straight electric furnace. For an all-electric home or one replacing an aging AC and electric furnace together, a heat pump is worth a serious look. We'll run the numbers for your setup.

Often, yes. Qualifying high-SEER2 systems and heat pumps can be eligible for the federal 25C energy-efficiency tax credit, and manufacturers run seasonal rebates on select equipment. We flag what your chosen system qualifies for and hand you the paperwork — ask when you book so we factor it into the numbers.

We install and service every major brand — Carrier, Trane, Lennox, Goodman, Rheem, York, American Standard, Bryant, and Amana — plus Daikin and Mitsubishi for ductless mini-splits. We'll match the equipment to your budget and home rather than push one label, and we stock parts for what we install so future service is fast.

Every install includes the permit, inspection, and removal, disposal, and recycling of your old equipment — it's baked into the flat-rate quote. Louisiana requires a licensed contractor and permit for AC replacement, and we handle all of it in-house. Ask about the service savings agreement to keep the new system tuned and under warranty.

Yes. New equipment carries the manufacturer's parts warranty — typically 10 years when registered, which we do for you — plus our own labor warranty on the installation. Keeping up with annual tune-ups (included in the service savings agreement) is usually required to keep the manufacturer coverage valid, so we make that easy.

Yes. A dead AC in a Louisiana July can't always wait for the budget to catch up, so we offer financing with a range of terms, including low- and no-interest options on approved credit. Ask when you book and we'll go over the options along with any manufacturer rebates or tax credits you qualify for.
