📞 Call (337) 607-1881Request serviceA replacement in Lake Charles should be planned for heavy humidity, long runtimes and hurricane season.
Ask contractors about elevated pads or stands in flood-prone areas, hurricane tie-downs, coated or corrosion-resistant coils, and surge protection. Make sure permits are pulled where required, and keep paperwork for insurance purposes.
A good installation starts with a load calculation (such as Manual J) rather than matching the old unit's size. Expect the contractor to look at ductwork, the electrical panel, the thermostat and drainage. Compare written quotes for equipment model numbers, efficiency (SEER2/HSPF2), warranty terms, permits and what's included in labor.
Gather what you can before quotes: the model numbers from the indoor and outdoor units, the age of the system, which rooms are uncomfortable and your recent utility bills. Ask about utility rebates and federal tax credits that may apply to qualifying equipment.
