Whole-home heating in Louisiana
Heating in Louisiana is a short season, and duct systems are designed mainly for air conditioning. When a cold front arrives, rooms at the end of long duct runs, and homes with ducts in hot attics, often fall short.
Common heating fuels here: electricity, natural gas. Electric baseboard and wall heaters and heat pumps are part of the mix, so breaker, element and line-voltage thermostat problems are common calls.
Hard freezes are rare but serious; homes built for heat can lose pipes and heat pumps in a single cold night. A whole-home check covers the thermostat, the heat source, ducts and returns, so the fix reaches the rooms that are actually cold.
