Your AC stops working — the heat doesn't. Nick's Heating & Air Conditioning dispatches NATE-certified technicians fast, diagnoses the problem accurately, and fixes it right the first time. Same-day service available across Southeast Louisiana.
A broken air conditioner in Southeast Louisiana isn't an inconvenience — it's an emergency. When your system goes down in the middle of a Hammond summer, you need a repair company that shows up the same day, tells you exactly what's wrong, and fixes it without padding the bill.
That's exactly what Nick's has delivered for over 40 years. Our NATE-certified technicians carry the parts to handle most common repairs on the first visit, and we'll never recommend a replacement when a repair will do the job.
Brands We Repair
Recognize any of these? Call us — we carry parts for most common repairs and can often resolve the issue the same day.
Your system is running but the air coming out isn't cold, or some rooms are significantly warmer than others. Most common cause: low or lost refrigerant from a leak, or a dirty/frozen evaporator coil.
Banging, rattling, grinding, squealing, or clicking sounds during operation. These typically signal loose or broken components — a failing motor, a bent fan blade, or debris in the unit.
You set the thermostat but nothing happens. Could be a tripped breaker, a failed capacitor, a faulty thermostat, or a safety shutoff triggered by an underlying issue.
Your AC kicks on and off repeatedly in short bursts instead of running through a complete cooling cycle. Often caused by an oversized system, low refrigerant, or a failing compressor.
Pooling water around the indoor unit, or ice forming on the evaporator coil or refrigerant lines. Typically points to a blocked condensate drain, low refrigerant, or restricted airflow.
A sudden spike in your electric bill without a change in usage habits is a clear sign your AC is struggling. Dirty coils, low refrigerant, or failing components force the system to work harder to maintain temperature.
Not sure what's wrong? That's what we're here for. Call us and let our technicians diagnose it.
Call (985) 999-4785No mystery charges. No vague assessments. Here's exactly what happens when a Nick's technician shows up at your door.
We respect your time. You'll get a call before we arrive, and our tech shows up when we say we will — not in a 6-hour window.
We don't guess. Our tech runs a systematic diagnostic on your entire AC system to identify the root cause — not just the symptom.
Before touching anything, we give you a clear written quote. No surprise line items at the end. You approve it, we work — you don't, we don't.
We stock a wide range of OEM-quality parts on our trucks. Most repairs are completed in a single visit without waiting on parts orders.
After the repair, we run the system through a full operational test and walk you through what was done. Your comfort and confidence are the finish line.

Our NATE-certified technicians are trained to repair all major AC brands — including Carrier, Trane, Lennox, Goodman, Rheem, York, American Standard, and more. As a Carrier Factory Authorized Dealer, we have specialized factory training on Carrier systems specifically.
An AC that runs but doesn't cool is one of the most common calls we receive. The most frequent causes are: low or lost refrigerant from a leak, a dirty or frozen evaporator coil, a failing compressor, a clogged air filter restricting airflow, or a dirty outdoor condenser coil. A professional diagnostic is the fastest and most accurate way to identify the exact cause.
Most repairs are completed the same day — typically within 1 to 3 hours. Simple fixes like replacing a capacitor, clearing a clogged drain line, or topping off refrigerant are usually quick. More involved repairs such as fixing a refrigerant leak, replacing a compressor, or rewiring an electrical fault may take longer or require a follow-up visit if specialty parts need to be sourced.
Yes. Before any repair work begins, our technician will diagnose the issue and provide a clear written estimate. We never start work without your approval, and there are no hidden fees or surprise charges on your invoice.
The right answer depends on your system's age, the repair cost, and its history. As a general rule: if the repair cost exceeds 50% of a new system's price and your unit is 10 or more years old, replacement often makes better long-term financial sense. Our technicians will give you an honest assessment of both options. If a repair will do the job, that's what we'll recommend — plain and simple.

From new system installations to preventive tune-ups — we handle every aspect of your home or business's air conditioning needs.
