Do you cover LaPlace, Reserve and Garyville?

Yes, and the rest of St. John the Baptist Parish. Tell us the community when you call.

Should flooded ducts be cleaned or replaced?

Flex and duct board that held floodwater should be replaced. Rigid metal can sometimes be cleaned; we inspect first.

Is my flooded air handler safe to run?

Not until it has been inspected. Corroded electrical parts and a damaged coil can fail or short at restart.

Do you install complete new systems?

Yes. In flood-damaged homes a full replacement with raised equipment is often the right call.

Do heat pumps need a fall check here?

Yes. Defrost controls and backup strips only work in winter, so fall is when to test them.

Short answer

We cover St. John the Baptist Parish, with many homes in and around LaPlace, Reserve and Garyville. Hurricane Ida brought serious flooding to LaPlace in 2021, so flood-damaged air handlers and ducts, raised condensers and full replacements are a big part of the work here, along with everyday AC repairs. The line is answered 24/7.

After Ida: flooded equipment and rebuilt systems

Hurricane Ida brought severe flooding to LaPlace in 2021, and water in homes there damaged air handlers, ducts and outdoor units that sat low. Equipment that took floodwater usually cannot be trusted afterward: flex duct and duct board hold silt and moisture, and electrical parts corrode. In flood-damaged homes we replace rather than patch, and we raise outdoor units above the level the water reached.

Newer and rebuilt systems in the parish need the same care as anywhere in the metro: drains kept clear through the long cooling season, coils cleaned and the charge checked each spring. Many homes here rely on heat pumps or strip heat for the short winters, so a fall check of defrost controls and heat strips saves a cold night.
