Common Heating Problems in New Orleans Homes
Although winters in New Orleans are relatively mild, having an efficient heating system is crucial for comfort and safety. When the temperature dips unexpectedly, any malfunction can be disruptive — especially in homes with elderly residents or young children. At Natal's Air Conditioning, Plumbing & Electrical, we often encounter recurring heating issues caused by age, wear, and regional climate conditions.
Furnaces that cycle frequently or fail to ignite are among the most common problems. This could indicate issues with the thermostat, ignition system, or dirty flame sensors. These malfunctions not only reduce comfort but can also increase energy use and strain the system unnecessarily.
Lack of airflow or uneven heating often points to clogged filters, blower motor failures, or ductwork leaks. This can cause hot and cold spots in the home, reducing overall efficiency and putting pressure on other system components.
Strange noises such as banging, rattling, or squealing usually signal a mechanical problem — loose parts, worn belts, or debris in the system. Ignoring these sounds can lead to bigger, more costly breakdowns.
Older systems are particularly vulnerable. If your heater is more than 15 years old, it may no longer operate at a safe or efficient level. High energy bills, constant repairs, and inconsistent heating are all red flags. In some cases, aging units may also pose carbon monoxide risks if not regularly inspected and maintained.
Heat pumps can also face unique challenges during colder months. When coils freeze or the reversing valve malfunctions, the system may blow cool air or stop heating altogether.
Finally, thermostat issues remain a top source of frustration. Inaccurate readings or faulty wiring can result in short cycling or insufficient heating. Upgrading to a programmable or smart thermostat can restore proper system function and enhance comfort.
Noticing cold spots, unusual sounds, or a sudden increase in heating bills? Call Natal's Air Conditioning, Plumbing & Electrical today for expert diagnostics and fast, dependable repair solutions.
Heating System Types We Service & Recommend
New Orleans homes require heating solutions that are both efficient and adaptable to changing seasonal demands. At Natal's Air Conditioning, Plumbing & Electrical, we service a range of systems suited for different home sizes, energy goals, and architectural designs. Below is an overview of the heating technologies we install and maintain:
Furnaces
Furnaces remain one of the most reliable options for whole-home heating. Fueled by natural gas, propane, or electricity, today’s high-efficiency models achieve AFUE ratings of 95% or more. We service single-stage, two-stage, and variable-speed models. Furnaces are ideal for homes with existing ductwork and families that prioritize fast, strong heat output.
Heat Pumps
Heat pumps provide both heating and cooling, making them a smart, year-round option for New Orleans’ climate. They work by transferring heat rather than generating it, which makes them highly efficient. Rated by HSPF2 for heating and SEER2 for cooling, they’re a great choice for energy-conscious homeowners. We install air-source and ductless mini split heat pumps.
Ductless Heating Systems
Ductless mini splits are ideal for homes without ductwork or for zoning individual rooms. These systems use heat pump technology and feature high HSPF2 ratings. Because they deliver heat directly to each room, they minimize energy loss and maximize comfort.
Dual Fuel Systems
For homeowners who want the best of both worlds, dual fuel systems combine the efficiency of a heat pump with the power of a gas furnace. These systems switch between electric and gas based on outdoor temperatures, offering comfort and cost savings.
Smart Thermostats and Zoning
We install smart thermostats like Ecobee, Nest, and Daikin One+ to help homeowners manage temperature and energy usage. Zoned systems allow for separate temperature control in different areas of the house, improving comfort and reducing energy waste — especially in multistory or large homes.

Furnace Installation

If your furnace is over 15 years old, requires frequent repairs, or fails to heat your home evenly, a replacement may be more cost-effective than continued maintenance. Rising energy bills and unusual noises can also signal the need for an upgrade.
Why Important:
Installing a modern furnace ensures reliable heating, improved energy efficiency, and enhanced safety. High-efficiency models with AFUE ratings of 95% or more can significantly lower utility costs while reducing environmental impact.
What’s Included:
Our installation process includes a full evaluation of your home’s size, insulation, ductwork, and heating demands. We remove your existing unit, install the new high-efficiency furnace, and test for correct airflow, venting, and thermostat function. We also offer guidance on rebates, warranties, and ongoing maintenance.
Get peace of mind this winter with expert furnace installation by Natal's Air Conditioning, Plumbing & Electrical — schedule your in-home consultation today.
Furnace Repair
When to Consider:
Common signs include inconsistent heating, strange smells or noises, short cycling, and a nonresponsive thermostat. If your system turns on but doesn’t produce enough heat, it may require immediate attention.
Why Important:
Prompt repairs prevent minor issues from escalating into major failures. A functioning furnace is essential for maintaining comfort and avoiding potential hazards like gas leaks or carbon monoxide exposure.
What’s Included:
Our repair service starts with a detailed system diagnostic to identify the root problem. We repair or replace faulty components such as flame sensors, igniters, thermostats, and blower motors. We also conduct safety checks and performance testing before we leave.

Heat Pump Services
When to Consider:
If your heat pump is underperforming, blowing cold air during heating mode, or running continuously without reaching set temperatures, it’s time to schedule service.
Why Important:
Heat pumps serve dual purposes — heating and cooling — so their efficiency affects year-round comfort. Regular care helps prevent premature failure and maximizes performance.
What’s Included:
We offer installation, repair, and maintenance for air-source and ductless heat pumps. Service includes refrigerant checks, defrost cycle testing, reversing valve inspection, and electrical diagnostics. We also calibrate your thermostat and inspect airflow across the indoor coil.
Looking to switch to an energy-efficient heat pump? Contact Natal's Air Conditioning, Plumbing & Electrical for tailored system recommendations and expert installation.
Heating Maintenance
When to Consider:
Routine maintenance should be performed annually before the colder season. It’s especially important for homes with aging systems or those that experienced issues the previous winter.
Why Important:
Preventive maintenance increases system longevity, reduces emergency breakdowns, and helps maintain safe operation. It also improves energy efficiency and protects your manufacturer’s warranty.
What’s Included:
Our multi-point inspection includes checking gas pressure, burner function, heat exchanger condition, filter condition, airflow balance, and thermostat accuracy. We also inspect electrical connections, lubricate moving parts, and clean vital components. Comfort Club members receive priority scheduling and exclusive discounts.

Smart Thermostat Installation
When to Consider:
Upgrade if you’re using a manual or non-programmable thermostat, or if your current unit doesn’t respond accurately or consistently.
Why Important:
Smart thermostats improve comfort control, reduce energy waste, and allow remote access via mobile apps. They also adapt to your schedule and provide performance insights.
What’s Included:
We remove your old unit, install the new smart thermostat, and integrate it with your HVAC system. Brands we install include Ecobee, Nest, and Daikin One+. We walk you through programming and test compatibility with zoning systems.
