Need a new AC fast? Keefe’s installs most full systems same or next day across New Orleans, with honest options and a clear written quote before any work begins.
A new air conditioner is a big purchase, and in New Orleans it is also one of the most important. Our summers run hot, sticky, and long, so the system you choose has to do more than just blow cold air. It has to pull humidity out, run efficiently month after month, and stand up to salt air, storms, and the kind of heat that does not let up until October. Keefe’s has been installing AC systems in New Orleans homes since 1979, and we know exactly what it takes to get this right.
When you call us, a real person picks up. We can usually have a comfort advisor at your home the same day to look at your current system, talk through your goals, and put together honest written options. Most full AC installations are completed in a single day, often as soon as the next day from your first call. We provide same or next day AC installation across the Greater New Orleans area, including Metairie, Kenner, Harahan, Slidell, and the Northshore.
If your AC has stopped working in the middle of summer, you do not have time to wait a week. Keefe’s keeps a wide range of systems and parts in stock so most full installs can happen same or next day across the New Orleans metro.
A lot of homeowners are not sure whether to keep paying for repairs or finally make the move to a new system. There is no one-size answer, but there are clear signs your AC is telling you it is ready to be replaced. If a few of these sound familiar, replacement is probably the better long-term call.
Every install, every quote, every time.

In most cases, yes. Keefe’s keeps a wide range of AC systems and parts in stock so we can install most full systems same or next day across New Orleans, Metairie, Slidell, and the Westbank. If your AC has gone out in the middle of summer, getting your home cool again should not take a week.
A few main things drive the cost of a new system. The size of your home and the size of the system, the SEER efficiency rating, the brand and warranty, the condition of your existing ductwork, and any related work like a new electrical panel or condensate line. We give you good, better, and best written options so you can see exactly what each one includes.
Yes. Keefe’s offers flexible financing options on new AC installations through several lending partners. Approved customers can choose terms that fit their monthly budget, including options with low interest for a set period. Ask your comfort advisor and we will walk you through the options when we put together your written estimate.
In New Orleans, a properly sized and well-maintained AC system typically lasts 12 to 15 years. Heat pumps land in a similar range. The two biggest factors are right-sizing at install and yearly maintenance. Systems that are oversized, undersized, or skipped on tune-ups tend to fail much sooner.
Usually, yes. New high-efficiency systems use significantly less electricity than systems built 10 to 15 years ago, and SEER2 ratings have continued to improve. Combined with a right-sized system, sealed ductwork, and a properly calibrated thermostat, most homeowners notice a clear drop in their summer Entergy bills.
The outdoor unit and indoor coil are designed to work as a matched pair. Replacing only one can lower efficiency, void the new warranty, and shorten the life of both pieces. In almost every case, replacing the system as a matched set is the smarter long-term choice.
Not always. We inspect your existing ductwork during the in-home assessment. If it is sealed, the right size, and in good shape, we keep it. If we find leaks, undersized runs, or crushed sections that hurt airflow, we will show you the issue and explain what fixing it would do for comfort and bills.
Yes, and it is free. Bring us any written proposal and we will go through it with you, line by line, and let you know honestly whether the size, brand, and price are a fair deal for your home. There is no obligation to use Keefe’s afterward.
All of the major ones, including Carrier, Trane, Lennox, and Mitsubishi. We are factory authorized on multiple lines, so warranty registration is handled in-house when you book the install.
