Written from Air It Up's first-hand field experience across Greater New Orleans since 2000 and reviewed for accuracy by owner Mike Mavromatis. Equipment specifics (warranty terms, efficiency ratings) reflect manufacturer-published information at the time of writing — always confirm current terms for your exact model.
Why a real price needs a real look
Correct equipment starts with a load calculation (ACCA Manual J) plus the condition of your ductwork, electrical panel, and equipment access. None of that is visible to an online form, so any instant number is a guess.
What actually drives your price
Failure modes of online instant quotes
A too-good number is usually bait that balloons with change orders, or it leads to a wrong-sized system that never performs. A guessed price is not a real price.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Can you give me a ballpark price over the phone?
- We can explain the factors and ranges, but an accurate price requires seeing your home, ductwork, and electrical. We would rather give you a real number in person than a guess that changes later.
- Why is your estimate free and in-home?
- Because that is the only way to size the system correctly with a load calculation and quote it accurately. The visit costs you nothing and protects you from a wrong-sized, overpriced install.
