Concealed Ductless Systems
For Uptown's grand homes, we install ductless mini-splits with concealed ceiling cassettes that are virtually invisible. The sleek indoor units mount flush in the ceiling, delivering powerful cooling without the wall-mounted units that can look out of place in a historic home.

High-Velocity Small-Duct Systems
When whole-home cooling is needed, our high-velocity systems use 2-inch flexible ducts that thread through existing wall cavities and between floor joists — delivering conditioned air through small, unobtrusive round outlets that blend with historic interiors.

About Uptown HVAC Service
Uptown New Orleans stretches from the Garden District to Carrollton along the Mississippi River, encompassing some of the city's most architecturally significant properties. The grand homes along St. Charles Avenue, the charming cottages on side streets, and the beautiful properties near Audubon Park and Tulane University were built in an era before air conditioning — many dating from the 1850s to 1920s. Installing modern HVAC in these treasured properties requires an artisan's touch. Walls are often solid brick or plaster over lathe, ceilings reach 12-14 feet, and attic access may be extremely limited. Traditional ductwork is frequently impossible without destroying original architectural details. A/C NOLA has developed deep expertise in Uptown HVAC installations, working within the constraints of historic properties while delivering powerful, efficient climate control. We frequently install ductless mini-split systems with concealed ceiling cassettes, high-velocity small-duct systems that thread through interior wall cavities, and compact heat pump systems designed for homes with limited outdoor space. Our technicians are trained to work respectfully in occupied historic homes — protecting hardwood floors, plaster walls, and original millwork during every installation. We coordinate with the Historic District Landmarks Commission when exterior equipment placement requires approval, ensuring full compliance with preservation guidelines.
