What Types of Home Air Conditioner Are There?
Five types cover almost every New Orleans home: central air, a ductless mini-split, a window unit, a floor-mounted unit and a smart system. Which one fits depends on how much of the house you are cooling, whether ductwork already runs through it, and what the space itself will allow.
Central Air Conditioner
For a home larger than average. A split system moves air through ducts already installed in the house, which is why it is also called a ducted system, and it can carry good indoor air quality to several rooms at once.
Ductless Mini-Split
Cools only the parts of the house you choose, so it is often the more cost-effective answer. An outdoor unit carries the compressor and condenser, and the indoor blower units mount on the wall. No ductwork needed.
Window Air Conditioner
The best answer for one room. Every component sits inside a single unit, which makes it the least costly to buy and to run, simple to install and easy to maintain. Enough for a small single-story home or one open space.
Floor-Mounted Air Conditioner
No ductwork required, and it suits spaces other units cannot take: attics with tilted walls or rooms built with glass walls. The unit sits low against the wall and delivers air from the floor up, which is useful in a room where a high wall mount is not practical.
Smart Air Conditioner
Connected to Wi-Fi and run from a phone, wherever you are. The systems we install offer weekly scheduling, geofencing, comfy mode and temperature range control, among others.
How Much Does a New Air Conditioner Cost?
What a new air conditioning system costs comes down to the type you choose, the size of the space and the state of the existing ductwork. Those three things move the figure more than anything else, which is why a number quoted before anyone has looked at the house is rarely the number you end up paying.
Every customer has different needs and a different budget. Part of our air conditioning service is talking you through which installation genuinely suits yours, rather than quoting the largest system that fits.
Tell us your preferred time and we will set an appointment to look at the space and give you a figure. The estimate is free either way.
How Often Should Air Conditioning Be Serviced?
At least once a year, and in this climate that is a floor rather than a target. Even a well-installed system in New Orleans runs a long cooling season at high humidity, so wear arrives faster here than the manufacturer's schedule assumes.
Our air conditioning services do not end when the installation is finished. We handle repair when something fails, and scheduled maintenance including air duct cleaning to keep the system working the way it should.
What Air Conditioning Work Do We Handle?
Installation, repair and maintenance, on residential and commercial systems alike. That covers air conditioning repair, new installation, replacement of a system past its life, and the routine servicing in between.
Our specialty includes residential and commercial heating as well, so a single visit can cover both sides of the system instead of two separate appointments. Let us know your preferred time for a repair, a heating service or an installation.

Why here is different
Why Does New Orleans Wear Out Air Conditioners?
New Orleans runs a long cooling season at high humidity, so a system here works more hours a year and has to pull a great deal of moisture out of the air on top of lowering the temperature. That is what shapes how we size and install every one of these systems.
Sizing decides comfort
An oversized unit cools fast, shuts off, and never runs long enough to dry the air. The room reaches the set temperature and still feels damp, which is why we measure on site instead of working from square footage.
Ductwork carries the loss
Leaking or dirty ducts make the system work harder for the same comfort. We inspect the ducts before recommending anything, because that is often where the real problem sits.
Maintenance is not optional
In this climate a skipped tune-up is not a deferred cost; it is a failure waiting for the hottest week of the year. Catching it early is far cheaper than replacing it late.

Questions we get asked
Air Conditioning Questions, Answered
What types of air conditioner can you install?
We install five types of residential air conditioning in New Orleans: central air, ductless mini-splits, window units, floor-mounted units and smart systems. Which one suits your home depends on how much of it you are cooling, whether ductwork already runs through the house, and what the space allows.
How much does a new air conditioning system cost?
There is no single figure, because the system type, the size of the space and the condition of the existing ductwork all move it. We give you a number after looking at the space rather than quoting blind, and the estimate is free either way.
What size air conditioner does my home need?
Size comes from the home, not from square footage alone. We look at the area being conditioned, ceiling height, insulation, window exposure and how the ductwork runs. An oversized system cools in short bursts and leaves the air damp, while an undersized one never catches up in August.
Is a ductless mini-split better than central air?
Neither is better on its own; they answer different problems. Central air suits a larger home that already has ductwork and needs several rooms conditioned together. A ductless mini-split suits a house where you only want to cool parts of it, or where running ductwork is not practical, and it is often the more cost-effective route.
How often should air conditioning be serviced?
At least once a year, and in New Orleans treat that as a floor rather than a target. The long cooling season and the humidity mean a system here accumulates wear faster than the manufacturer's schedule assumes, so an annual tune-up is what keeps a small fault from becoming a summer failure.
Can you install a smart air conditioner?
Yes, we install smart air conditioning systems in New Orleans homes. A smart air conditioner connects to Wi-Fi and runs from a phone, wherever you happen to be. The ones we install offer weekly scheduling, geofencing, comfy mode and temperature range control, among other functions.
Do you repair air conditioners as well as install them?
Yes, we repair air conditioners as well as install them. We handle repair, new installation, replacement of a system past its life and scheduled maintenance, on residential and commercial systems alike. Our work does not end when an installation is finished, which is the part that decides how long the system lasts.
