Grand Isle is Louisiana’s only inhabited barrier island, sitting in Jefferson Parish at the far eastern end of the coast we cover. It is a community of camps, rentals and year round homes taking weather straight off the Gulf. We at Martin’s A/C and Electric have worked this coast since 1967. Book online and we will come to you.
HVAC and Electrical Services We Provide on Grand Isle
Air conditioning repair and replacement. Nothing stands between the island and the Gulf, so salt reaches equipment continuously. See our air conditioning services.
Mini splits. The usual choice for camps and elevated properties, conditioning one space efficiently and running at a low setting between visits.
Heat pumps. Sensible on climate, provided the coils are coastal duty and the mounting is rated for the wind this island sees.
Indoor air quality and dehumidification. The most valuable thing you can fit to a property that stands empty between rentals.
Licensed electrical work. Panel work, rewiring and the exterior circuits that fail first in this environment. See our electrical services.

Why Rental Turnover and Salt Air Compound on Grand Isle
Jefferson Parish is 62.6 percent owner occupied, according to U.S. Census Bureau QuickFacts for Jefferson Parish, the lowest owner occupancy of any parish we serve. Grand Isle sits at the extreme end of that pattern, because so much of the island is camps and short term rentals rather than primary homes.
Two things then compound. Rental and camp properties get used in bursts by people who have no reason to notice a system declining, and the island’s exposure means equipment declines faster than it would anywhere inland. A unit that would give fifteen years on the mainland gives considerably less here.
Between guests the system is often switched off or set high, which is when the moisture damage happens. A property that is humid for three weeks and cool for a weekend develops the smell that guests complain about, and by the time anyone connects the two the blower housing is already contaminated.
For rental owners we schedule around turnover and set up humidity control that runs whether or not anyone is in the building. It keeps the property lettable and it is far cheaper than replacing soft furnishings.
