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 — 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 — no upsells, just straight answers.
For homes and businesses across Kenner — including the areas near Louis Armstrong International Airport (MSY), Chateau Estates, University City, and Susan Park (70062 and 70065) — 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.
If we can’t fix it, you don’t pay
Heat pumps are a great fit for Jefferson Parish’s mild winters — one system that cools efficiently in summer and heats in winter. Tegridy Air services, repairs, and maintains heat pumps across Kenner, with 24/7 help at (504) 414-8655. Family- and friend-owned, 30+ years of combined experience.
Heat pump problems we fix in Kenner
- 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.”
