Short answer
Filmore is a residential Gentilly neighborhood where many homes were gutted, rebuilt or raised after the 2005 flood. Systems installed in that rebuild are now close to twenty years old, so common calls are replacements, air handler work and repairs on aging outdoor units. We serve ZIP 70122 and answer 24/7.
Twenty years after the rebuild
When the canal floodwalls failed in 2005, Gentilly took deep water, and many of Filmore's houses were gutted and rebuilt over the years that followed. Most got new air conditioning in the process. A system installed in 2007 has now been through nearly two decades of New Orleans summers, which is about as long as most outdoor units and indoor coils are expected to last.
Houses that were raised after the storm moved their equipment as well. Outdoor units went up onto stands or platforms, and air handlers moved into attics or closets. Those platforms, and the refrigerant lines running up to them, deserve a close look whenever the system is replaced. A new unit belongs on a sound, level platform, strapped down for hurricane season.
