Air Conditioning Installation

The experts at Cajun Heating & Cooling are experienced and trained to guide you through the purchasing process. Our trusted staff will help to equip your home with a system perfect for your residential or commercial space. Things we consider:

• Size and age of your home
  These can be tricky. Although larger homes tend to require larger capacity AC and Heating systems, newer homes are better insulated and may require a smaller system to keep you comfortable.
• Your home's design and layout
  Windows on southern-facing walls will allow warm sun in and can affect the usage and efficiency of your unit. It helps lower usage in the winter but increased usage in the hot summers.
• Local climate
  Here in Lafayette, Crowley and other parts of South Louisiana, we can hardly imagine a summer without our air conditioner. Cajun Heating & Cooling is familiar with the weather patterns here and will suggest the right system to keep your home comfortable and energy efficient.
• Condition of ductwork
  After inspection of your residential or commercial ductwork, our AC experts will be able to tell you if it needs repair or replacing. The upfront costs may increase, but it will give significant savings over the lifetime of your unit by ensuring your HVAC system is running as efficiently as possible.

When your HVAC unit starts to show its age, you can either overhaul it, or replace it.

Who doesn't want to save money? Even with upfront costs, efficiency of your air condition system will save you lots of money over time. Today's best AC units compared to those used in the 1970s use up t o 50% less energy. HVAC technology is improving daily and even if your central air unit is only 10 years old, you can still save up to 40% in sage when upgrading to a high SEER rated unit.

If you're considering changing only the outdoor unit of the air conditioner to save money, think again.
While it may seem more cost efficient on the surface, over time the costs and repercussions are not worth it. The efficiency of the system will be lowered and your system may fail sooner than normal. Also, your warranties will be voided. We suggest changing both units at the same time.

• Can your current electrical system handle the additional demand of the new Air conditioning and heating unit? Oftentimes, circuit breakers must be upgraded to accommodate upgraded HVAC systems Newer homes may need to add additional circuit breakers.
• Do you have outdoor space for your condenser unit? The unit will need room to blow and an electrical outlet hook-up.
• Want to upgrade your thermostat? Now would be the likely time. Modern thermostats can save significant monthly utility expenses and allow you to program your comfort levels. Most new models are even smart phone compatible, and can communicate filter changes, maintenance and problems with the system.
