Our system was installed after Katrina. Should we replace it now?

Not automatically. If it still cools well and the repairs are small, keep it running. Once a big repair comes up on a system near twenty years old, we price both and you decide.

Why does the attic matter so much in our house?

On a slab home the air handler and ducts usually live up there, so a crushed duct or a clogged drain pan shows up as warm rooms or a stained ceiling.

Do you cover both 70127 and 70128?

Yes, all of Little Woods and the rest of New Orleans East.

Can you help after a storm knocks out the power?

Yes. We check the outdoor unit and the attic equipment before restarting, so a wet or damaged part does not get worse.

How quickly can you reach New Orleans East?

It depends on the day's calls. We give you an honest arrival window, and no-cool calls with vulnerable people at home go first.

Short answer

Little Woods covers a big stretch of New Orleans East back from the lakefront, and most of its houses are slab-built ranch homes with the air handler and ducts in the attic. Common calls are no-cool repairs, attic duct problems and replacing systems installed in the rebuild after 2005. We serve ZIPs 70127 and 70128, 24/7.

Slab homes, hot attics and post-2005 systems

Most of Little Woods was built out in the second half of the twentieth century, as subdivisions spread east across drained marshland. The houses sit on concrete slabs rather than piers, so there is no crawlspace for ductwork. The air handler usually hangs in the attic or stands in a hall closet, and the ducts run through an attic that gets far hotter than the air outside on a July afternoon.

When the levees failed in 2005, floodwater covered most of New Orleans East, and a large share of the systems in Little Woods were replaced in the rebuild that followed. Many of those outdoor units, coils and attic ducts are now approaching twenty years old. That is the age when we start comparing the next repair with the cost of a new system, and we give you both numbers before you decide.
