HVAC Built for New Orleans Homes and Climate
New Orleans is a different kind of HVAC challenge, and after years of working across the metro, we know it well. Orleans Parish sits below sea level between the Mississippi River and Lake Pontchartrain, which means relentless humidity, a cooling season that barely quits, and a hurricane season every June through November that makes reliable, storm-ready equipment non-negotiable.
The housing stock is the real story. So much of New Orleans, including the shotguns and doubles of Uptown, the Garden District, the Marigny, and the Bywater, was built long before central air existed. Forcing bulky ductwork into a historic home often does more harm than good, so we frequently install ductless mini-splits that cool effectively without tearing up plaster walls and ceilings. In Lakeview, Gentilly, and other neighborhoods rebuilt after Katrina, we focus on right-sized, high-efficiency systems and smart placement that stands up to our storm and flood risk.
From Uptown and the Garden District to Mid-City, Lakeview, Gentilly, Algiers, and the Bywater, we handle AC repair and replacement, ductless installs for historic homes, hurricane-season tune-ups, and high-efficiency upgrades to ease your Entergy bills. Call us at (504) 414-8655.
- If we can’t fix it, you don’t pay
Putting a new AC into a New Orleans home takes more than swapping a box — older houses, high ceilings, and tight duct chases all factor in. Tegridy Air installs and replaces systems across New Orleans with right-sized designs, up-front quotes, and financing. Call (504) 414-8655. Family-owned, 30+ years of combined experience on local homes.
When it’s time to replace
- The unit is 10–15+ years old and repairs keep coming.
- It runs on R-22, now phased out and costly to service.
- Bills climb every summer while comfort slips.
- The system can’t pull the humidity down, so the house feels damp.
Designing a system for an older NOLA home
Many New Orleans homes were never built for central air — they were retrofitted later, sometimes poorly. High ceilings add volume to cool, historic layouts limit where ducts can run, and older panels may need attention before a new condenser goes in. We do a real load calculation and look at your actual ductwork and electrical, then recommend the right system — including ductless mini-splits, which are often the cleanest solution for shotguns, additions, and rooms with nowhere to run a duct.
Installed pricing in New Orleans
- Standard-efficiency central AC (replacement): $5,500–$8,500
- High-efficiency / variable-speed: $8,500–$13,000+
- Ductless mini-split (single zone): $3,500–$6,500
Final cost depends on size, SEER2, ductwork, and any electrical work. Financing is available; old-unit removal and refrigerant recovery are included.

AC installation FAQs
Can you add AC to a home that never had central air?
Yes — often with a mini-split or a compact ducted system designed around the home’s layout.
How long does it take?
A straight replacement is usually one day; new ductwork or electrical can add time.
Is a mini-split a good fit here?
For shotguns, doubles, and add-on rooms, frequently it’s the best option — efficient and no major duct runs.
Do you offer financing?
Yes, on qualifying systems.
What Our Customers Say About Us
Absolutely amazing experience! With the recent heatwave my ac was just not keeping up. I was able to schedule a same day appointment for a system checkup. They quickly found the problem and fixed it. Within the hour I had a fully functioning ac again. The technicians were incredibly friendly and explained everything they were doing and described the problems in a way I could easily understand. The price was incredibly reasonable. After work was complete they even stayed a while to ensure everything was working as intended. I can’t recommend these guys enough. They will be the only company I call from here on out
Drew Buller
Very professional, great service. I can’t say enough about how great these guys are. They responded right away and had my air blowing the coldest it’s ever been. I will recommend them to anyone who needs A/C work done.
michael bordelon
I called them on a service call. Because my HVAC was not working. I had a quick response and they sent out a technician. He diagnosed it and repaired it within the hour. Quality service and reasonably priced. I would definitely use them again!
Dave H
After buying an older home I was completely burned through a cycle of faulty or half way work being performed and/or companies that were pushing outrageous sales and upgrades for simple repairs needed. I was emotionally overwhelmed and one month, several thousand dollars, and 3 HVAC companies later still without a working AC. I made a plead on Nextdoor for anyone to help me and recommend a trustworthy AC person and then found these guys and decided to give them a shot. I am SO grateful that I did! I called in the afternoon and they arrived within 2 hours. They checked everything— discovered a simple issue that could not previously be identified, fixed that issue, which was the fault of another service tech, getting my system back running and informed me about other details of my system. They charged me only a service call fee and changed my air filter before leaving. I was almost in tears. My AC has been running perfect ever since! I wish there were more companies like this in every trade— honest, quality inspection and work, take pride in what they do, not trying to just rip people off.
Courtney Coco
Alex and his crew always do a great job, super friendly, and are very fair with their pricing. They are thorough and make sure to explain what they are doing, why they are doing it, and how it will help. They never push products or services on me and will happily answer any questions. My ac went out yesterday, I called at ~4:40pm and they showed up a few minutes later. They resolved the issue quickly and explained what had happened. Highly recommend.
