When your AC quits in the middle of a Kenner summer, every hour counts. Between the heat coming off Lake Pontchartrain and the humidity that hangs around from April through October, a dead air conditioner makes a house miserable fast. Tegridy Air does AC repair with 24/7 availability across Kenner and Jefferson Parish, and a real person answers the phone at (504) 414-8655 — nights, weekends, and 3 a.m. on a holiday.
We’re family- and friend-owned with more than 30 years of combined experience on Gulf South systems. Our techs work on all makes and models and carry common parts on the truck, so most repairs are done in a single visit.
Common AC problems we fix in Kenner
Kenner’s climate is hard on cooling systems, and the same failures come up again and again:
- Warm air / not cooling — low refrigerant, a failing compressor, or a dirty coil running but not cooling.
- Frozen coils — high humidity plus restricted airflow (clogged filter or low refrigerant) ices the indoor coil. One of our most common calls here.
- Capacitor failures — running a compressor through 95°F afternoons for months wears capacitors out. Frequent, and usually an affordable fix.
- Storm & surge damage — Gulf storm season brings power flickers that take out capacitors, control boards, and sometimes compressors.
- Corroded outdoor units — moisture and salt air near the lake eat condenser coils and fins faster than inland.
- Constant running, weak airflow, or odd noises — banging, squealing, or rattling that points to a motor or blower problem.
What AC repair costs in Kenner
We diagnose first and give you a written price before any work starts — no guessing, no surprise line items. Your exact cost depends on the part, your system, and refrigerant type, but typical 2026 ranges in our area look like this:
- $109 dispatch fee in Greater New Orleans
- Capacitor replacement: $150–$400
- Refrigerant recharge: $200–$650+ (older R-22 systems cost more)
- Condenser fan motor: $300–$700 (ECM/variable-speed motors can run $1,000+)
- Compressor replacement: $1,200–$2,800
If a major repair doesn’t make sense on an aging system, we’ll say so and walk you through replacement options and financing. We won’t sell you a repair we wouldn’t pay for ourselves.

AC repair FAQs
How fast can you get here?
We offer 24/7 availability for AC emergencies. Call (504) 414-8655 to confirm current appointment availability and scheduling for your location.
Should I repair or replace?
If your system is under ~10 years old and the repair is a fraction of replacement cost, repair usually wins. Older units with a failed compressor are often better replaced — we’ll give you the honest math.
Why does my AC keep freezing up?
Usually a dirty filter, blocked airflow, or low refrigerant. Switch the system to “fan only” to thaw it and call us — running it frozen can damage the compressor.
Do you charge for a diagnostic?
We charge a $109 dispatch fee in Greater New Orleans. Repair charges are quoted separately before work begins.
Do you offer financing or maintenance plans?
Both. Ask about financing on larger repairs, and about maintenance plans that catch small problems before they leave you without AC in July.
How much does AC repair cost in Kenner?
We charge a $109 dispatch fee in Greater New Orleans. Common fixes like a capacitor run $150–$400. You’ll get a firm written price before any work begins — see the typical ranges above.
Why is my AC running but not cooling?
Usually low refrigerant, a dirty or iced-over coil, or a failing compressor or capacitor — and in our humidity a clogged coil is common. Arrange a diagnostic to identify the cause and help prevent further damage.
Do you work on all AC brands?
Yes — our techs repair all major central air, heat pump, and mini-split brands, and our trucks stock the parts that fail most often so most repairs finish in one visit.

Our HVAC Services Cover All of Kenner
From Chateau Estates and University City to the streets near Lafreniere Park and The Esplanade, Tegridy Air handles new builds, historic homes, offices, and shops.

HVAC Built for Kenner's Climate and Homes
We’re based right here in Kenner, so we know exactly what your system is up against. Sitting on the south shore of Lake Pontchartrain in Jefferson Parish, Kenner gets the full Gulf-South treatment โ a long, brutally humid cooling season and a hurricane season that runs June through November. From the lakefront and Laketown down through historic Rivertown and the neighborhoods off Williams Boulevard, we tailor the work to how each home actually lives.
That lake air is hard on equipment. Salt and moisture coming off Pontchartrain corrode outdoor condenser coils faster here than further inland, so we pay close attention to coil condition and unit placement on every Kenner install. And because so many homes here are slab-on-grade or mid-century builds running original, undersized ductwork, we check whether your ducts and airflow can actually support a system before we ever quote a new one โ no upsells, just straight answers.
For homes and businesses across Kenner โ including the areas near Louis Armstrong International Airport (MSY), Chateau Estates, University City, and Susan Park (70062 and 70065) โ we handle AC repair and replacement sized for Gulf humidity, hurricane-season tune-ups, high-efficiency upgrades to take the bite out of Entergy bills, and duct sealing for older homes. Call us at (504) 414-8655.

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 canโt 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

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.
