Our morning relative humidity often hits 90%, and older units designed during the lower-efficiency SEER eras often lack the moisture-removal capacity to keep up with this heavy latent load. Another major red flag is uneven cooling in homes built before 1940; these historic structures often rely on retrofitted ductwork in tight crawlspaces or attic chases that can sag or separate over time due to our region’s significant ground subsidence. When you hear the compressor struggling or see your electric bill spike during the long May-to-October cooling stretch, it’s a sign that the extreme runtime is finally wearing down localized components rather than just needing a new filter.\u003C/p>",{"question":83,"answer":84},"Is there anything I can check before calling a HVAC professional in New Orleans?","\u003Cp>Start by examining your primary condensate drain line; because our annual rainfall exceeds 60 inches and humidity is constant, algae and biofilm thrive in these lines, causing backups that trigger your safety switch. If your system has stopped during a humid stretch, look for a clogged drain pan. Next, check your outdoor condenser unit for salt-air corrosion or debris from the frequent afternoon thunderstorms; salt-laden air in the Gulf South can eat through aluminum fins if they aren't rinsed regularly. In many 1970s-era ranch homes, original window seals and insulation are minimal, so ensure your thermostat isn't set below 70°F—trying to force a unit to cool against our intense summer heat can cause the evaporator coil to freeze solid. If your checking reveals anything related to refrigerant levels, electrical wiring, or Entergy gas connections, you must stop and call a professional to avoid safety risks.\u003C/p>",{"question":86,"answer":87},"What types of HVAC services are commonly offered in New Orleans?","\u003Cp>Humidity remediation is the most critical service here because our extreme moisture levels—regularly hitting 90% morning RH—can lead to mold in ductwork and air handlers if not controlled with whole-home dehumidifiers. Local technicians also specialize in refrigerant conversions for 1990s-era systems; many of these older R-22 units are still running but are beginning to leak due to the stress of our long, six-month cooling seasons. For those in raised pier-and-beam homes common in the French Quarter or Marigny, crawlspace duct sealing is a top priority to prevent soft alluvial soil subsidence from shifting and tearing original connections. Finally, Entergy customers often request insulation and SEER upgrades to reduce the high energy burden created by our relentless heat index, which often reaches 110°F in the peak of summer.\u003C/p>",{"question":89,"answer":90},"How do I find the best HVAC company in New Orleans?","\u003Cp>When searching for the best HVAC company in New Orleans, start by verifying that any technician arriving at your door holds a current Louisiana state trade license and EPA 608 certification for safe refrigerant handling. NATE certification is another valuable credential that proves a technician has mastered industry standards. A true local expert should understand our specific environmental needs, such as how our city’s chronic ground subsidence affects the integrity of attic and crawlspace ductwork or how to properly size a system to handle our extreme humidity rather than just total heat. Before signing an agreement, verify that the company carries full general liability and workers' compensation coverage. To streamline this research, you can consult Best Pick Reports, which vets companies using an annual 6-step process that includes independent customer satisfaction surveys and credential monitoring. This resource helps ensure you find a Licensed HVAC Company that can't purchase its way onto the list and provides a $2,500 guarantee on labor costs for your peace of mind.\u003C/p>",[92],{"title":93,"description":94,"image":95,"link":96},"How to Winterize a House: Your Home Winterization Checklist","Get your home ready for winter with our comprehensive winterization checklist to ensure warmth and protection against the cold.","https://bprblogassets.s3.amazonaws.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/15082644/home_winterization_1.jpg","/blog/post/your-home-winterization-checklist/",[]]
