A fishing village's cottages, a bayou's humidity

Salaville began in 1892, when Pablo Sala laid out lots along the canal linking the Mississippi River to Bayou Segnette - and it grew fast after the 1893 hurricane at Chênière Caminada sent fishing families upriver looking for higher ground. After a 1907 fire leveled much of the district, it was rebuilt; today the Westwego Historical Museum occupies the rebuilt Fishermen's Exchange at 275 Sala Avenue, anchoring the city's historic and cultural district.

The housing stock that survives is modest, wooden, and close to the water: raised cottages and early-20th-century frame homes within blocks of Bayou Segnette State Park's marshes. That proximity is the defining HVAC fact of the neighborhood. Moisture pressure here is constant, so equipment that merely cools - without genuinely dehumidifying - leaves these houses clammy, musty, and hard on both furnishings and lungs.

Salaville HVAC challenges we solve

Basin-fed moisture, block after block

Between the river, the canal, and Bayou Segnette, Salaville's air carries moisture year-round. Right-sized systems with long, steady cycles - not oversized units that blast and quit - are what actually dry these homes out.

Small historic cottages, small duct space

Compact frame cottages rarely have generous attic runs. Compact ducted systems or ductless heads sized to the actual room load beat wedging a builder-grade system into a house that never planned for one.

Respecting the historic streetscape

Sala Avenue is Westwego's designated historic and cultural district. Thoughtful condenser placement - rear yards, side setbacks, simple screening - keeps modern equipment from intruding on a streetscape the city is actively revitalizing.
