NEW ORLEANS, La. — September 29, 2026 — TN Appliance Exchange LLC, a family-owned appliance repair company founded in Nashville in 2012, now serves South Louisiana with local technicians. Since 2025 its records show more than 1,300 completed appliance repairs across New Orleans, Metairie, Kenner, Slidell, Mandeville, Covington and Hammond, including 569 in New Orleans alone, and the company now covers Baton Rouge as well.
Andre, owner Teddy Pivacek’s son, covers the South Shore and New Orleans, and John, a technician with more than 40 years on appliances, covers the North Shore. Both are named on the company’s website.
“Louisiana is hard on appliances. The heat and humidity work compressors harder, and salt air off the lake corrodes terminals and coils,” said James “Teddy” Pivacek, owner and founder of TN Appliance Exchange. “We brought the same way of doing things down here: a real technician answers, you see every option and the real price, and we tell you when it isn’t worth fixing.”
Services. Repair of refrigerators, freezers, washers, dryers, dishwashers, ovens, ranges and microwaves from all major brands, plus CSIA-certified dryer vent cleaning, where the technicians also open the dryer and clean the lint inside the machine, not just the duct.
Local lines, open 24/7. New Orleans and the South Shore: (504) 370-1234. North Shore: (985) 268-1234. Baton Rouge: (225) 605-1234. Customers can also text a short video of the problem any time for a technician’s diagnosis.
Why Appliances Fail Faster on the Gulf Coast
1. Heat and humidity make refrigerator compressors run longer and harder.
2. Salt air corrodes compressor terminals, fan motors and coil fins.
3. Moisture trapped in controls causes shorts and seal damage.
4. Power outages and surges after storms damage control boards.
5. Clogged dryer vents are worse in humid air because lint stays damp and packs in.
