New Orleans HVAC FAQ
Should my New Orleans AC unit be raised?
In flood-prone areas, raising the condenser on a platform reduces the risk of flood damage. Local rules may set the minimum height.
Can I run my AC after a hurricane?
Not until it has been inspected if it was flooded or hit by debris. Running damaged equipment can make things worse.
