The New Orleans, LA Local Code Shield
In New Orleans, any reputable HVAC contractor must hold a valid Louisiana State Licensing Board for Contractors (LSLBC) license specifically for mechanical work. You must ensure they pull city-mandated building permits through the One Stop App to comply with the 2015 International Mechanical Code (IMC) enforced locally. Failure to verify these credentials leaves you vulnerable to non-compliant installations that may void your homeowners insurance policy during a post-storm claim.
