HVAC Installation in Baton Rouge, LA

Replacement is usually the better choice when your system is over 10-15 years old and has repeated failures or rising energy bills. Wilkerson Mechanical can assess your current system and give you a clear recommendation for your Metairie home.

A high-efficiency central split system or heat pump is a strong fit for most Metairie homes given the long cooling season and mild winters. For homes without existing ductwork, a ductless mini-split is a practical option that avoids running new ducts through finished spaces.

Yes, we inspect duct condition before any new equipment is installed in your Metairie home. Leaky or aging ducts reduce system performance and efficiency, so we address duct issues as part of the installation process.

An oversized unit cools too fast, shuts off early, and leaves excess humidity in the air, which is a real problem in Metairie's climate. An undersized unit runs constantly and still can't keep up during peak summer heat.

Yes, a heat pump handles both cooling and heating with one system, which suits Metairie's mild winters and long cooling seasons well. It moves heat rather than generating it, which reduces energy use compared to running separate systems.

We run a full commissioning check that covers airflow measurement, refrigerant charge verification, and thermostat calibration before we consider the job complete. You won't be left with a system that hasn't been confirmed to perform correctly in your Metairie home.
