Whether you're in a Creole cottage near Esplanade Avenue or a converted shotgun double off Magazine Street, we size and install the right system for your layout.

Mini Split Installation for New Orleans
A mini split, also called a ductless system, pairs an outdoor compressor unit with one or more indoor air handlers mounted high on the wall or ceiling. Because there's no ductwork, installation is far less invasive than a traditional central system — typically requiring only a small hole through an exterior wall for the refrigerant line set and electrical connections. Mini splits deliver both cooling and heating, run quietly, and let you control the temperature in each zone independently, which is a real advantage in New Orleans homes where one room faces the afternoon sun and another stays shaded all day. They're also highly efficient, which helps offset those high Entergy bills that pile up every summer.
- Single-zone and multi-zone mini split installations for rooms, additions, and whole homes
- Brands and BTU sizes matched to your square footage — not a one-size-fits-all recommendation
- Minimal wall penetration: typically one 3-inch hole per indoor unit, no ductwork demolition
- Both cooling and heating capability — useful during New Orleans' short but real winter cold snaps
- Clean, professional line-set routing and line-set covers available for finished appearances
- Licensed, insured HVAC contractor serving all New Orleans neighborhoods including Gentilly, Lakeview, Algiers, and the Lower Ninth Ward

FAQ
Mini Split Installation in New Orleans — common questions
How long does a mini split installation take in a typical New Orleans home?
A single-zone installation usually takes three to five hours from start to finish. A multi-zone system with two or three indoor heads may take a full day. We give you a realistic time estimate before we start so you can plan accordingly.
Will a mini split work in a historic or older New Orleans home?
Yes — in fact, mini splits are often the best option for older homes in neighborhoods like the Marigny or Uptown that lack existing ductwork. The installation requires only a small exterior penetration, and we take care to route line sets in ways that respect the structure. We'll discuss placement options with you before drilling anything.
What does mini split installation cost in New Orleans?
Cost depends on the number of zones, the BTU capacity needed, and the complexity of the line-set routing in your specific home. Single-zone systems are generally more affordable than multi-zone setups. Call us for a straight quote — we don't do vague estimates.
Can a mini split handle New Orleans humidity as well as heat?
Mini splits dehumidify as they cool, so yes — they actively pull moisture out of the air, which matters a lot in a city where summer humidity regularly sits above 80%. Many customers notice their home feels more comfortable even before the temperature drops significantly.
Do I need to upgrade my electrical panel for a mini split?
Most mini splits require a dedicated 240V circuit. Whether your existing panel can accommodate that depends on its current load. Our technician checks your panel during the site visit and lets you know upfront if any electrical work is needed before installation.
