New Orleans, Louisiana, nicknamed the “Big Easy”, is world-renowned for its round-the-clock nightlife, vibrant live-music scene and spicy, and cuisine that reflects its history as a melting pot of French, African and American cultures. New Orleans has a subtropical climate with pleasant year-round temperatures. Temperatures range from the mid 40°F in winter to the upper 90°F in the summer. A hot climate and high humidity as well as the change in temperature with a change in season means extended use of New Orleans home systems and appliances like the AC unit and electric system. Long-term use of appliances and systems in New Orleans homes can be a risk for normal wear and tear causing unexpected mechanical breakdowns.
On average, there are 216 sunny days per year in New Orleans. The coldest month is January when the average temperature overnight is 43°F. In July, the warmest month, the average daytime temperature rises to 91°F. The driest month is October and June is the wettest month. On average, January is the most humid. If your central heating system, AC unit, or electrical system experiences a mechanical failure due to normal wear and tear, having protection from an expensive repair or replacement is essential because a delay can make living conditions in the home very uncomfortable for everyone, even unsafe.
One of the best ways to protect home appliances and systems in New Orleans is to obtain a Home Service Agreement that’s flexible, affordable, and from a trusted provider, American Residential Warranty.
