Licensed HVAC technicians serving Cut Off homeowners with AC repair, AC installation, heating repair, heat pumps, mini splits, indoor air quality, and emergency service. Honest pricing on every job.
When your home's heating or cooling system is not performing as it should, you need a contractor who accurately diagnoses problems and fixes them right the first time. We at Martin's Heating and Air Conditioning have been providing residential HVAC service throughout South Lafourche and South Terrebonne since 1967.
Whether you need a same-day repair, a system replacement, or a seasonal tune-up, our licensed technicians have the equipment and experience to handle it.
AC repair. When your air conditioner stops cooling, runs continuously, or makes unusual sounds, we diagnose the problem at the source and repair it correctly. We service all makes and models and carry the most commonly needed parts on our trucks to minimize the time your system is down.
AC installation and replacement. If your system is aging, failing repeatedly, or no longer able to keep up with the demands of South Louisiana's climate, a replacement may be the right long-term decision. We help homeowners select a properly sized, energy-efficient system and complete the installation with the workmanship needed to ensure it performs as rated.
AC service and maintenance. A pre-season tune-up cleans the components that accumulate dirt and debris over the off-season, checks refrigerant levels, inspects electrical connections, and tests the full system. Scheduled maintenance extends system life and helps avoid breakdowns during the months when your air conditioner runs hardest.
Heating repair and installation. South Louisiana winters are mild compared to most of the country, but when nighttime temperatures drop, a functioning heating system matters. We repair and install residential furnaces, gas heat systems, and electric heating systems to keep homes comfortable through the cooler months.
Heat pump services. Heat pumps provide both heating and cooling from a single system and are well-suited to South Louisiana's climate, which rarely requires the heating capacity of a traditional furnace. We install, repair, and maintain residential heat pump systems, including diagnosing refrigerant issues, electrical faults, and reversing valve problems that heat pumps can develop over time.
Ductless mini split installation and repair. Mini splits provide zoned temperature control without the need for ductwork, making them a practical option for additions, converted spaces, or rooms that the central system does not reach effectively. We size, install, and service ductless systems from the brands we trust.
Indoor air quality. South Louisiana's humidity creates conditions for mold growth, airborne allergens, and poor indoor air quality that affect the health and comfort of everyone in the home. We install UV light systems, whole-home air filtration, and dehumidification solutions designed for the air quality challenges specific to this region.
Emergency HVAC service. A system failure during a South Louisiana heat wave is a health emergency. We offer 24/7 emergency HVAC service for homeowners who cannot wait for a scheduled appointment.
South Louisiana homeowners pay more for electricity than most in the country, and the reason is primarily air conditioning.
According to the U.S. Energy Information Administration, Louisiana consistently ranks among the highest states for residential electricity consumption per household, with average monthly usage well above the national average. The EIA attributes this to the state's hot-humid climate and the extended cooling seasons it creates. For a Cut Off homeowner, a system that is improperly installed or running below peak efficiency does not just affect comfort. It shows up every month on the power bill.
Proper equipment selection, correct installation, and regular maintenance all affect how hard your system has to work. An oversized unit short-cycles, reducing dehumidification and increasing wear. An undersized unit runs continuously without reaching the set temperature. Either condition drives monthly electricity costs higher than necessary. We at Martin's Heating and Air Conditioning size every system to the actual load requirements of the home and install it to the manufacturer's specifications, because we know the difference shows up on our customers' bills.
Annette Springer, a Cut Off area homeowner, called Martin's after her AC stopped working on a Saturday and described the level of service her technician delivered.
Justin from Martin's Heating and AC did an excellent job troubleshooting and getting my AC up and running on a Saturday. He dug some trash out of my fan housing and pushed past what initially seemed to be a bad fan to find the real problem with the control board. He repaired a wire that was shorting out and continued to check the system to ensure all was good.
Pushing past the obvious to find the actual root cause, and then checking every other aspect of the system before leaving, is the standard every HVAC service call should meet.
Isaac Rodriguez, a Cut Off area homeowner and Local Guide, described his experience with technician Mike in a review that covers the qualities that separate a reliable HVAC contractor from the rest.
Mike went above and beyond to make sure everything was taken care of quickly, professionally, and with incredible attention to detail. He was knowledgeable, friendly, and explained everything in a way that was easy to understand. It's rare to find someone who takes so much pride in their work and truly cares about the customer experience.
Technical knowledge and genuine care for the customer are not in conflict. Every technician on our team is expected to bring both.
Martin's Heating and Air Conditioning was founded in 1967 and has served the South Lafourche and South Terrebonne communities for nearly 60 years.
Age, repair history, and current performance are the three main factors. A system over 12 to 15 years old that has required multiple repairs in recent seasons is often approaching the point where replacement delivers better value than continued repairs. A newer system with one isolated failure may have many years of service left. Our technicians assess both the current problem and the system's overall condition and give you an honest picture of both options.
System sizing depends on square footage, ceiling height, insulation levels, window quality, and the orientation of the structure. South Louisiana's humidity and heat load also factor into the calculation. We perform a proper load calculation before recommending equipment, rather than defaulting to whatever size was previously installed. An incorrectly sized system is one of the most common causes of poor performance and high energy bills.
Yes. Our technicians service all major residential HVAC makes and models. When recommending replacement equipment, we work with Amana, Daikin, and Goodman systems, which we have found to perform well in South Louisiana's demanding climate conditions.
The Maintenance Plan is $240 per year and includes two seasonal tune-ups (one in spring before the cooling season and one in fall), priority scheduling, a 10% discount on repairs, no overtime charges for after-hours calls, and weekend service availability. For most Cut Off homeowners running their system heavily from April through October, two seasonal visits a year represents the minimum preventive care that keeps a system performing reliably.
