AC installations the inspector signs off on the first time.
Backed by 20+ years of construction experience and Louisiana Residential Contractor RL.890700, Xero DMG coordinates AC installation in Lafayette and Lafayette Parish under Louisiana Commercial Mechanical license CL.08880 — sizing, permits, installation, and post-install verification, all under one project file.
Acadiana, between the Vermilion and the Atchafalaya.
Lafayette sits in Lafayette Parish along the Vermilion River, at the eastern edge of the Atchafalaya Basin. Elevations run from 15 feet near the river to 40 feet on the higher prairie ground north of I-10. The clay-loam subsoils of the southern Louisiana prairie hold moisture from the high water table, and Gulf humidity loads above 75% from May through October keep crawlspaces and slab edges in the wet end of the moisture range through the long warm season.
That’s why Lafayette AC installations demand a calibrated approach. Manual J load calculations done right account for the Lafayette Parish humidity load, the home’s air-sealing condition, and the duct loss in attics that run 130°F+ in August — get the sizing wrong and the system short-cycles, dehumidifies poorly, and burns through its warranty in five years instead of fifteen. Xero DMG handles the project file: load calculation, equipment selection, permit submittal, installation under Louisiana Commercial Mechanical license CL.08880, post-install commissioning, and documentation. You make one phone call. The mechanical contractor on the job is Xero DMG, license CL.08880.
The installation no one will redo.
A Lafayette Parish AC installation lives or dies on the load calculation and the duct design. Oversized equipment short-cycles and underventilates — that’s the system that runs cold but smells musty by July. Undersized equipment runs flat-out in August and dies in seven years instead of fifteen. Our 20+ years of construction experience reading Lafayette Parish housing stock — slab construction, attic ductwork, retrofitted envelopes — let us size and design systems that last.
Documented from load calculation to commissioning.
Manual J load calculation. AHRI certificate for the equipment match. Mechanical permit with inspection sign-offs. EPA Section 608 certifications on file for the technicians who handled refrigerant. Commissioning data: refrigerant charge, static pressure, temperature differential. When a homebuyer’s inspector asks “who installed this and when,” the answer is in the file.
Free In-Home Estimate
On-site assessment of the existing system, ductwork, electrical service, and home envelope. Manual J load calculation per ACCA standards. Written estimate with equipment options and total project pricing — no high-pressure sales.
Permit Coordination
Mechanical permits filed with the parish or municipal authority. Coordination with the inspector for rough-in and final inspection windows. All permit fees included in the estimate.
Equipment Procurement
Carrier, Trane, Lennox, Goodman — equipment selected for the load calculation and the homeowner’s budget. ARI-matched condenser and air handler combinations only. AHRI certificate in your project file.
Licensed HVAC Installation
Installation performed by Xero DMG under Louisiana Commercial Mechanical license CL.08880. All refrigerant work performed by EPA Section 608 certified technicians. Lineset routing, condensate management, and electrical disconnect to NEC and local code.
Commissioning & Verification
Post-install commissioning: refrigerant charge verified by superheat or subcooling, static pressure measured, airflow checked at registers. Temperature differential confirmed against the load calculation.
Documentation Package
Project file delivered: load calculation, AHRI certificate, permit numbers, inspection sign-offs, equipment serial numbers for warranty registration, commissioning data. Resale-ready file.
Five IICRC certifications. One residential contractor license. Twenty years of building.
Restoration is regulated by what the contractor knows, not what they claim. Most Louisiana restoration firms hold one or two IICRC certifications. Xero DMG runs five — at the technician level, on the same person on the job site — backed by a Louisiana Residential Contractor license and twenty years of construction work that came before any of the certifications.
Backed by 20+ years of construction experience and a stack of IICRC certifications — WRT, ASD, AMRT, OCT, FRST — Xero DMG runs every loss with industry standards, documented evidence, and the maximum transparency we can control on our end of the claim.
What Lafayette clients ask first.
How long does an AC installation take?
Most residential AC installations are completed in one day. Permit lead time is typically 1-3 business days in Lafayette Parish. Emergency no-cool service: same-day diagnostic and temporary cooling can be arranged while permanent equipment is procured. Active emergency? Call 504.702.1480 — dispatch is 24/7.
Who actually performs the installation?
Xero DMG holds Louisiana Commercial Mechanical license CL.08880 and Louisiana Residential Contractor license RL.890700. Installation is performed by Xero DMG under CL.08880. All refrigerant work is handled by EPA Section 608 certified technicians. One contract with us — licensed specialists do the work.
Why does load calculation matter?
An oversized AC short-cycles, dehumidifies poorly, and wears out compressors. An undersized AC runs constantly, never reaches setpoint on the hottest days, and dies early. Manual J load calculation per ACCA standards accounts for window orientation, insulation values, infiltration rates, and the Lafayette Parish climate load. The calculation is included in your project file.
What about financing and rebates?
Manufacturer rebates (Carrier, Trane, Lennox, Goodman) apply to qualified high-efficiency systems and are deducted from your project total. Federal tax credits under the Inflation Reduction Act apply to heat pumps meeting CEE tier requirements. We coordinate financing applications through partner lenders when needed.
Are you licensed?
Yes. Licensed Commercial Mechanical Contractor (LA CL.08880) and Licensed Residential Contractor (LA RL.890700). Mechanical installation is performed by Xero DMG under Louisiana Commercial Mechanical license CL.08880. Refrigerant work is performed by EPA Section 608 certified technicians. Insurance and bond on file with Lafayette Parish.
