Short answer
We serve Gentilly, ZIP 70122. Homes here range from raised older houses to mid-century slab ranches with ducts in the attic, and much of Gentilly flooded in 2005 and was rebuilt or repaired. Common calls are AC repairs, replacements of aging systems and duct problems both above the ceiling and under the floor. The line is answered 24/7.
Ranch homes, raised houses and the ducts in each
Gentilly's mid-century ranch houses sit on slabs with the air handler and ducts in the attic, where summer heat bakes duct insulation and loosens joints. Its older raised houses do the opposite, with ducts under the floor in damp crawlspace air. The problems look different, attic leaks in one and sweating ducts in the other, but both rob the rooms of cooled air and show up as rooms that never cool and bills that creep up.
Much of Gentilly flooded in 2005, and many systems were replaced in the rebuild that followed. Those systems are now well into their working lives, and some are reaching the point where a big repair makes replacement the better buy. We price both, size any new system from a load calculation, and check whether the ducts can carry what the new unit needs.
