Furnace repair
Heating trouble deserves a careful evaluation of the equipment and its controls. We explain the findings and the work needed before proceeding with an approved repair.

Start with the concern in your property. Explore individual services, see how we approach the work, and arrange a visit.
Start with the equipment and the symptom
Southwest Louisiana properties may use a gas furnace, electric heat, a heat pump or a combined arrangement. Tell the office which equipment you have if you know, what the thermostat displays and where comfort changed. A system that does not start, starts and stops, or serves only part of the property needs a diagnosis before anyone selects a part.
If you smell gas or a carbon-monoxide alarm sounds, leave the building and contact emergency services or the gas utility from outside. Do not stay inside to troubleshoot. Internal ignition, gas-pressure, heat-exchanger, venting and safety-control work belongs with a qualified professional. S&S is a Louisiana-licensed HVAC contractor; this heating scope does not represent water-heater, generator or general electrical service.
Separate maintenance, repair and replacement
The current one-time tune-up is $59; the office confirms the scope and appointment. Planned maintenance reviews the applicable equipment and records findings; it is not a substitute for diagnosing an active failure. The standard repair diagnostic is $160 for up to one hour onsite, with no additional travel fee anywhere S&S serves. Repair work is quoted separately before it proceeds.
For replacement, ask how the selected furnace or heat pump relates to the property’s load, airflow, ducts, controls and any supplemental heat. AFUE is used for furnace fuel efficiency; HSPF2 is used for seasonal heat-pump heating efficiency. Those labels help compare certified equipment, but the installation and property still shape comfort and operating cost.
Keep the written scope, model information, registration confirmation, startup record and workmanship terms together. If a room has always been difficult, say so before the visit. That history may point to an airflow or building question that an equipment-only change does not answer.
Prepare for the visit and the decision
Before the appointment, note when the symptom started, whether it affects every room, whether the equipment runs continuously or cycles, and any error visible from a normal occupied area. Keep the filter accessible if it is normally homeowner-serviceable, but do not remove furnace panels or defeat a switch. Previous invoices, model information and warranty records can help separate new findings from earlier work.
After the assessment, ask the technician to distinguish what was observed, what was tested, what work is recommended now and what can be monitored. A repair estimate should identify the included part, labor and related scope. An installation proposal should identify the matched equipment and what happens to existing ducts, drains, controls and electrical connections. Written choices make it easier to compare a repair with a larger project without relying on a headline efficiency rating alone.
For recurring care, compare the $59 one-time tune-up with the Comfort Priority Club’s two seasonal visits and written benefits. Membership is not a promise that every part or repair is included. Ask the office to confirm system count, eligibility and enrollment terms before treating a request as active coverage.
Furnace installation & replacement
A heating replacement should match the home and the rest of the HVAC system. We engineer options with attention to capacity, airflow, controls, and the installation conditions.
Heating system maintenance
Your maintenance plan should match your heating equipment. Heat pumps, electric heat, and gas furnaces have different operating needs, and the visit should reflect the system in your home.
Heat pump installation
A heat pump provides heating and cooling from one system. The right design considers both seasons and explains how the equipment, controls, and any backup heat work together.
Heat pump repair
When a heat pump is not heating or cooling as expected, the symptom needs to be evaluated in the context of the operating mode. S&S diagnoses the issue and explains the repair options.
Built for Gulf Coast conditions
Southwest Louisiana systems work through long cooling seasons, high humidity, salt-influenced air, storms and heavy rainfall. The recommendation should consider drainage, corrosion exposure, airflow and recovery after outages—not equipment capacity alone.

Equipment and registration
S&S is a Carrier - Tempstar Elite Dealer and an approved Trane Dealer. Ask which brand and model fit the project. Manufacturer registration controls eligibility for extended parts coverage. S&S submits registration where possible; the customer should retain and check the manufacturer confirmation. The manufacturer’s written eligibility and warranty terms control.
Parts coverage and workmanship coverage
Manufacturer parts coverage and S&S workmanship coverage are separate. A manufacturer parts warranty covers the part only; diagnostic labor, refrigerant, freight and miscellaneous materials are billable unless covered under the S&S labor warranty. Standard S&S coverage is one year on installation workmanship and 90 days on repairs, unless a longer period is stated in writing on the estimate or purchased as an extended labor plan. Covered workmanship corrections include labor during normal business hours. Maintenance requirements, exclusions and other written conditions apply.
