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
Heat pumps are a great fit for West Jefferson’s mild winters — one system that cools efficiently in summer and heats in winter. Tegridy Air services, repairs, and maintains heat pumps across Gretna, with 24/7 help at (504) 414-8655. Family- and friend-owned, 30+ years of combined experience.
Heat pump problems we fix in Gretna
- Not heating or not cooling — refrigerant, compressor, or capacitor issues.
- Stuck in defrost, or ice building up on the outdoor unit.
- Reversing-valve faults (won’t switch between heat and cool).
- Auxiliary/strip heat running constantly — and spiking your bill.
- Short-cycling, weak airflow, or odd noises.
Why heat pumps work well here
Because our winters rarely stay cold for long, a heat pump spends most of the year in its efficient range — which is why so many local homes run them. The trade-off is that the reversing valve, defrost cycle, and auxiliary heat add parts that can fail, so they benefit from a tech who knows them.

Heat pump FAQs
Why is my heat pump icing up?
Some frost is normal in winter; constant ice means a defrost or refrigerant problem — call us.
Why is my bill suddenly high?
Often the auxiliary strip heat is running because the heat pump isn’t keeping up — a fixable fault.
Heat pump or furnace?
For our climate a heat pump is usually the more efficient choice; we’ll advise for your home.
Do you maintain heat pumps?
Yes — twice-yearly service keeps them efficient year-round.
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.”
