HVAC Built for Gretna and the West Bank
Gretna sits on the West Bank of the Mississippi River, just across from downtown New Orleans, and it's the seat of Jefferson Parish. Historic Gretna and McDonoghville are full of older homes — many with original ductwork and tight mechanical spaces — while the neighborhoods toward Terrytown and the Westbank Expressway run a mix of mid-century and newer builds. River humidity and a long cooling season keep HVAC systems working hard year-round.
In Gretna's older homes, forcing in oversized ductwork often does more harm than good, so we'll recommend a ductless mini-split or a right-sized central system when it actually fits the house — no upsells. With the West Bank's hurricane and storm-surge exposure every June through November, we also push storm-ready installs and seasonal tune-ups so your system doesn't quit when the heat (or a storm) hits.
Across Gretna and the West Bank — historic Gretna, McDonoghville, and the Westbank Expressway corridor (70053, 70056) — we handle AC repair and replacement, ductless installs for older 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
On the Westbank, your AC works hard from spring through fall — and the Gretna systems that make it through summer are the ones that get serviced first. A Tegridy Air tune-up keeps your system efficient and catches small problems before they leave you without cool air. Service across Gretna and West Jefferson — book at (504) 414-8655. Family-owned, 30+ years of combined experience.
What's included in a Gretna tune-up
- Condensate drain cleared and flushed — the humidity here clogs them fast, and a backed-up line shuts the AC down.
- Condenser coil washed so the unit can shed heat properly.
- Refrigerant charge and leak check.
- Capacitor and electrical test — the part most likely to fail in peak heat.
- Blower, thermostat, and airflow check — important in older homes with tight returns; filter inspected.
Two visits a year here
With cooling season stretching most of the year, once-a-year service isn't enough on the Westbank. We recommend a spring tune-up before the heat and a fall check on the heating side. In older Gretna homes especially, the spring visit restores airflow and efficiency that a dirty coil or struggling blower quietly drains all summer.
Pricing & maintenance plans
- Single AC tune-up: $89–$149
- Maintenance plan (seasonal visits + priority service): ask for current pricing
A maintenance plan covers both seasonal visits and gives you priority scheduling when the first heat wave has everyone on the Westbank calling at once.
Why Gretna homeowners choose Tegridy Air
- Techs who know older Westbank homes and our humidity.
- Honest reporting — what actually needs attention, nothing padded.
- Same-day and 24/7 help if a tune-up uncovers something urgent.
- Family-owned, with plans and financing available.

AC tune-up FAQs
How often should I service my AC?
Twice a year — spring and fall — or at least every spring.
Will it lower my power bill?
Usually — a clean coil and correct charge cut runtime, which is most of your summer electricity.
The AC runs fine — why bother?
Maintenance prevents the mid-summer breakdown; that's exactly when you don't want to lose it.

We show you, quote it up front, and often handle small fixes on the spot.
What Our Customers Say About Us
Honest Voices, Honest Service
“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”
“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.”
“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!”
“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.”
