I do not write a commercial ticket from square footage on a listing sheet. I write it from how the building runs at 2 a.m. versus 2 p.m. A hotel corridor, a lunch-rush kitchen, an imaging room, and a high-bay warehouse are four different machines. Open the industry page that matches occupancy. Then use the commercial HVAC and chiller pages for the iron on the roof.

Industries we serve

• Hotels and hospitality HVAC — guest rooms, corridors, banquet plants, and PTACs from the French Quarter to the CBD and the airport corridor.
• Restaurant HVAC — dining-room comfort and makeup air so the hood does not steal conditioned air off the floor.
• Hospital and clinic HVAC — filtration, pressure relationships, and after-hours response around patient and imaging space.
• School and campus HVAC — classrooms, gyms, and plants that have to survive Monday-morning occupancy spikes.
• Office building HVAC — multi-tenant towers, VAV, and after-hours calls when one floor dumps heat into another.
• Warehouse HVAC — high-bay air, dock doors, and inventory that cannot sit in swamp air.
• Industrial HVAC — process rooms and plant air that have to hold a number, not a vibe.
• Apartment complex HVAC — unit turnovers, common areas, and stacks of the same package unit.
• Property management HVAC — multi-site calls, written findings, and a number a board can vote on.
• Church HVAC — sanctuaries that sit empty six days, then pack heat on Sunday.
• Government building HVAC — occupied civic space, after-hours windows, and a paper trail.

How I read a building before I open a panel

I start with occupancy, not with the thermostat. A hotel loses the night if rooms drift. A kitchen loses the lunch ticket if makeup air is starved. A clinic loses the afternoon if an imaging room dumps heat. That is the difference between a residential truck and a commercial one: the clock is tied to how the building is used.

Rooftop package units

Most of the boxes I walk in the CBD and Jefferson Parish are packaged RTUs. Compressor, condenser, and often heat live in one cabinet. When one unit is down, the floor can usually keep the rest online. That is why strip centers and restaurants like them — and why a drowned drain pan or a rotten curb will take a dining room down in August.

Kitchens versus dining rooms

A hood that pulls hard with no makeup air steals conditioned air from the dining room and still leaves the line sweating. I treat kitchen HVAC as a pressure problem first and a tonnage problem second. If the dining room feels like the cook line, exhaust and supply are not talking to each other.

Guest rooms and corridors

Hotels live and die on the room the guest is standing in. PTACs, corridor RTUs, and banquet plants have different failure clocks. A corridor that dumps humidity at 2 a.m. becomes a review by breakfast. Hospitality calls get a different dispatch window than an empty office floor.

Clinics, classrooms, and civic space

Clinics care about filtration and pressure. Classrooms care about a Monday that does not start at 82°F. Civic buildings care about after-hours access and a paper trail. I write the ticket to occupancy, not to a generic commercial label.

Repair versus a planned shutdown

If one compressor on a dual-circuit RTU is down, I can often keep the floor open while parts land. If the curb is rotten, the drain pan is gone, or the box is still on R-22, I say that before I sell a bandage. Facility managers get a number they can take to a board.

Where the truck actually rolls

We run commercial industry calls in the CBD, the French Quarter hospitality corridor, Magazine and Warehouse District kitchens, Jefferson Parish retail and offices, airport-adjacent hotels, and industrial rooms along the river. Roof access and safety eat more clock than the drive. Dispatch is from 1615 Poydras Street, Suite 900, New Orleans, LA 70112.

Frequently asked questions — HVAC by industry

What is commercial HVAC service by industry in New Orleans?

It is repair, maintenance, and replacement planning written to how a building is used — hotel, kitchen, clinic, classroom, tower, warehouse, plant — rather than a generic commercial AC label.

Which industry page should I open first?

Open the page that matches occupancy: hotel, restaurant, hospital, school, office, warehouse, industrial, apartments, property management, church, or government. Then use the commercial HVAC and chiller pages for the equipment on the roof.

Why do kitchens fight the dining room in August?

The hood pulls a huge volume of air. If makeup air is late, short, or unconditioned, the dining room loses the air it paid to cool. That is a pressure problem first. Tonnage alone will not fix it.

Where are you licensed to work?

New Orleans Mechanical Pros holds Louisiana Contractor License #75402 and dispatches from 1615 Poydras Street, Suite 900, New Orleans, LA 70112 across the five-parish service area.

Start the commercial call

If the floor is off setpoint or the roof is locked out, call (504) 826-3775 or request service. Open the industry page that matches occupancy so the ticket is written to the building, not to a generic commercial label.
