Frequently Asked Questions — AC Repair in Read Blvd East

Common questions from homeowners and businesses in Read Blvd East about AC repair, AC installation, and HVAC maintenance.

Post-Katrina slab homes in Read Blvd East were built quickly between 2006 and 2012, and many used builder-grade HVAC equipment that is now reaching end of life. The most common issues we see are refrigerant leaks in aging coils, failing capacitors in outdoor units, and ductwork that was installed with inadequate insulation in the attic — causing significant heat gain in summer.
This is one of the most common complaints on r/NewOrleans. If the system was recently serviced and is still struggling, the issue is usually one of three things: the system is undersized for the actual heat load, there are significant duct leaks losing conditioned air into the attic, or the attic insulation is inadequate. We offer duct leakage testing and attic insulation assessments as part of our diagnostic service.
You can inspect the condenser fins visually — if they're clogged with dirt, cottonwood seeds, or debris, airflow is restricted and efficiency drops. A simple garden hose rinse from the inside out (not outside in) each spring is recommended. If the coils are bent or corroded, professional cleaning and fin straightening is needed. In Eastern New Orleans, cottonwood season in spring is particularly hard on outdoor units.
The general rule is: if the repair cost exceeds 50% of the replacement cost, or if the system is over 12 years old and requires a major repair, replacement is usually the better investment. New systems are 30–40% more efficient than 2006-era equipment, and the energy savings often offset the replacement cost within 5–7 years in New Orleans' long cooling season.
Square footage alone is not sufficient to size an HVAC system. A proper Manual J load calculation accounts for ceiling height, insulation levels, window area, orientation, and duct condition. In Eastern New Orleans, where many post-Katrina homes have minimal attic insulation and west-facing windows, a 1,800 sq ft home may require a 3.5 or 4-ton system rather than the 3-ton that square footage alone would suggest.
Mold growth in AC systems is common in New Orleans. Prevention includes: keeping indoor humidity below 60% (ideally 45–55%), changing filters every 30–45 days, scheduling annual coil cleaning, ensuring the condensate drain line is clear, and using UV germicidal lights installed in the air handler. If you smell a musty odor when the AC runs, call us immediately — mold in the air handler spreads spores throughout the home.
Yes — this is one of the most common causes of frozen coils. A clogged filter restricts airflow over the evaporator coil, causing the refrigerant to get too cold and freeze the moisture in the air. If your AC is blowing warm air or you see ice on the lines, turn the system off (fan only) for 2–3 hours to thaw, then replace the filter before restarting. If it freezes again, call us — there may be a refrigerant issue.
Before hurricane season (June 1), we recommend: a full system tune-up including coil cleaning and refrigerant check, clearing the condensate drain line, securing the outdoor condenser unit, trimming nearby vegetation, and ensuring the electrical disconnect is accessible. We also recommend documenting your system's model and serial numbers for insurance purposes.
