Do you service emergencies after-hours?

Yes, we offer emergency services 24-hours a day, year-round.

How much will my service cost?

The size and complexity of your HVAC issue will determine the cost. Because our trained, licensed HVAC technicians must diagnose the issue before we are able to quote you an accurate cost, we require an appointment to be set to complete a diagnostic on your system. Once the diagnostic is complete, your One Hour(R) technician will walk you through all costs using our Straightforward Pricing(R) Guide so there are never any surprise fees.

How often should I service my HVAC system?

It's ideal to service your cooling system each spring and your heating system each fall to ensure you find small issues before they become big problems.

How often do I need to change my HVAC filter?

Your filter should be changed every one to three months, depending on conditions in your home and your region's climate.

Do you offer purchase financing?

We work built relationships with several lenders to ensure our customers are able to restore comfort in their homes. Ask your technician about your financing options.

What are the advantages of a smart Thermostat?

Smart thermostats learn a household's patterns and adjust heating and cooling according to when a home is occupied, give homeowners the ability to control the thermostat remotely, and enable homeowners to reduce their energy use, saving you money.

HVAC means Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning. HVAC systems refer to air conditioners, furnaces, and any unit that cools indoor spaces during the summer and warm them in the winter. In general, an HVAC system takes in air, heats or cools that air, and blows it into a room or any indoor space. While many homes have separate air conditioning and heating units, others have a heat pump that cools and heats the house. Not only do HVAC systems maintain desired temperatures, but they also improve indoor air quality and regulate humidity levels. But most importantly, these units provide comfort all year round.

What is a SEER Rating?

The SEER (seasonal energy efficiency ratio) is a measure of the efficiency of your heating and cooling system.The higher the SEER rating, the more efficiently a unit operates. The SEER rating of any given unit can range anywhere from 13 to 21.

“Excellent service. Joseph evaluated our system thoroughly before moving forward with repairs. He was straight up and walked me through every part of the system that needed repairs or upgrades to keep my newer system in working condition. He had it running very quickly and more importantly addressed issues that could damage our equipment down the road. He was able to answer all questions and very professional.The company responded immediately after booking an appointment .I feel the prices were fair and the service is top notch.”

“One hour air is so easy to deal with. We have had to have them out a few times, and each time, the techs were great. They always explain things before they just repair and give you a huge bill at the end. Hopefully we don’t need them again, but they will be our first call should the need arise.”

“Mr. Brandon was prompt (which is always a plus), he did a thorough diagnostic with an immediate diagnosis. I was very impressed with the fact that he took out the time to review what the technician from September had written before discussing my options. He was very professional, knowledgeable and exhibited a concern for making my situation better. I would highly recommend Brandon as his knowledge and experience is priceless. Thank You and Thank You One Hour A/C”

“It's never a good time for heat or AC to go out. With this freeze we are having it is the worse time for my heater to go out. I called River City's One Hour AC and Heating. The lady that answered the phone, was very kind and helpful. She told me someone would contact me shortly to schedule am appointment. They kept me informed as to when someone would be able to come out to repair my heater. (due to road conditions) Cole came as soon as roads were safe to drive on. He was on time and had my heater up and running in no time at all. Thank you Cole and One Hour AC & Heating.. Tonight my furbabies & I will be warm.”

General Manager

HVAC work is truly Matt’s passion. At the age of 13, Matthew Rick started working with his grandfather in the Heating and Air Business.

Kelly Scott

Service Manager

For the past 30 years and counting, Kelly Scott has dedicated himself to providing top-notch HVAC work for South Louisiana residents; his motto being, “If you cannot service your customer properly, someone else will.” Kelly moved to Louisiana with his mom, a proud member of the United States Army, at the beginning of his high school days. During that time, he picked up a part-time job at a small, local A/C and Heating Company. From there he moved on to opening his own business in 1992 and later merged his HVAC family with ours in March of 2016. His favorite thing about working for One Hour is the readiness of resources and people to learn, grow, and teach. When he’s not roaming about the office making classic dad jokes, Kelly can be found in his garage tinkering with classic cars. His favorite? The 72 Ford Torino.

In the ongoing 4 years that he has graced us with his expertise, he says that the biggest lesson our company has taught him is that the better a company treats its employees, the better the employees will treat the customer.
