Quick troubleshooter

What's your AC doing right now?

Pick the symptom. We'll walk you through safe things to check before you call — sometimes it's a 2-minute fix, and if not, you'll know exactly what to tell the tech.

Blowing warm air

Safe things to try first

  1. 1Confirm the thermostat is on COOL, fan on AUTO, and set below the room temperature.
  2. 2Swap a dirty filter — a clogged one can choke airflow fast in summer.
  3. 3Check the outdoor unit: is the fan spinning? If it hums but won't spin, shut it off.
  4. 4Check the breaker once. If it trips again, leave it off and call.
Likely culprits: A failed capacitor or contactor (the #1 summer failure), a refrigerant leak, or a dirty condenser coil.

Services

Every way your AC can let you down — handled.

From a worn-out capacitor to a full system replacement, each service page walks you through the warning signs, what to do first, and how to prevent it next summer.

Our customers

Neighbors who stayed cool.

Real words from homeowners, landlords and business owners from the Quarter to Kenner.

“Our AC went out at 11 AM on the first day of Jazz Fest — kitchen was 95°. Bradley Air had a tech here in 25 minutes, fixed the compressor, and we were back serving po'boys by lunch. Lifesavers!”
Tony M.French Quarter · Emergency repair
“Installed two ductless mini-splits in our 100-year-old double. Quiet, efficient, and they worked around our original hardwood floors. Cools both sides evenly now!”
Derek & Mia L.Irish Channel · Ductless mini-splits
“Replaced our 20-year-old unit with a Carrier Infinity. The tech explained SEER ratings and helped us get the rebate. Our July bill dropped from $340 to $262. So glad we found them!”
Claire B.Lakeview · AC installation
“I manage three short-term rentals in the Marigny. Bradley Air services all the units — fast, clean, and guests never complain about noise or temperature. They even text me after each visit.”
Nadia R.Marigny · Commercial service
“Our AC kept freezing up. Two 'big name' companies replaced parts — still broke. Bradley found a cracked drain pan hidden behind the wall. Fixed in one visit. Worth the call!”
Keisha W.New Orleans East · AC repair
“Called three companies. Two quoted $1,200+ to replace a capacitor. Bradley diagnosed it as a loose wire — $89 and done in 30 minutes. Finally, an honest AC company in NOLA!”
Sarah K.Uptown · AC repair
“Power surged during a thunderstorm and the AC shut down. Called Bradley Air at 2 AM — they answered, arrived by 2:40, and had us cool again by 3:30. No overtime charge!”
Reggie P.Gentilly · Emergency repair
“Signed up for the $149/year plan — two tune-ups, priority service, 15% off parts. It already paid for itself when they caught a freon leak early. Smart investment for NOLA humidity.”
Dr. James H.Mid-City · Comfort Club
“Retired Navy — called for a second opinion after another company quoted $7,800 for a new system. Bradley installed a Trane for $6,200 and gave me 10% off for service. Real patriots.”
Louis G.Algiers · AC installation
“Had duct cleaning done — the tech wore booties, laid drop cloths, and vacuumed everything. Air smells fresher, allergies are better, and my white sofa stayed white!”
Ellen T.Garden District · Duct cleaning

FAQ

Straight answers, no runaround.

How much does an AC service call cost in New Orleans?
Our diagnostic is a flat $99, and it's waived when you approve the repair. After we find the problem, you get a flat-rate price up front — you approve it before any work starts, so there are no surprises on the invoice.
Do you charge extra for nights, weekends or holidays?
No. We never charge overtime fees. A 2 AM emergency call during a July heat wave costs the same flat rate as a Tuesday morning visit.
How fast can you get to my house?
For emergencies we dispatch the closest available tech right away and give you a real ETA on the phone — often within the hour across New Orleans, Metairie and Kenner. Non-emergency visits are usually same or next day.
What areas do you serve?
All of Orleans Parish — from the French Quarter, Uptown and Mid-City to Gentilly, Lakeview and New Orleans East — plus Metairie, Kenner, Algiers and the West Bank. See our full service area.
Should I repair or replace my AC?
If your system is under about 10–12 years old and the repair is modest, repairing usually makes sense. If it's older, uses R-22 refrigerant, or needs a major repair like a compressor, replacement often saves money long term. We'll give you honest numbers for both — see our AC installation guide.
Do you work on all brands?
Yes — we repair and maintain all makes and models, and we install trusted brands including Carrier, Trane, American Standard, Rheem, Goodman, Maytag, Frigidaire and ArcoAire.
