Local conditions that affect your system
Flooding
Low-lying areas flood in heavy rain; raised condensers help.
Hurricanes
Wind and outages are common; secure outdoor units before the season.
Humidity
Dehumidification matters as much as cooling.
Seasons and peak demand in Metairie
Metairie summers bring highs in the low 90s with very high humidity. Winters are mild. Hurricane season runs June through November. Many slab homes have air handlers in attics where clogged condensate drains can leak into ceilings, so float switches matter. Spring tune-ups before the long cooling season and surge protection for summer storms are worthwhile. Raised outdoor units are common in flood-prone streets.
