Kevin Washington spent more than 17 years working as an HVAC technician and project manager across Greater New Orleans — from Uptown Garden District mansions to Bourbon Street restaurant kitchens, from Metairie office buildings to historic French Quarter properties. He knew the trade inside and out. What frustrated him was the industry itself.
Too many HVAC companies in the New Orleans market were cutting corners — recommending unnecessary replacements, sending under-trained technicians to complex jobs, and treating customers as transactions rather than neighbors. Kevin had watched it happen for years, and he had watched homeowners pay for it. In 2022, after nearly two decades in the field, he decided the right move was to build something better from the ground up.
New Orleans Mechanical Pros launched in 2022 with a clear mission: bring the technical depth of a 17-year career to every service call, and run the business the way a neighbor would — with honesty, transparency, and genuine accountability. The company was built on the belief that New Orleans deserved an HVAC contractor that would tell you what your system actually needs, not what generates the highest invoice.
That foundation shows in how we operate today. Every estimate is written and itemized before work begins. Every technician on our team holds active NATE certification and Louisiana state licensing. And every recommendation we make is backed by the kind of field experience that only comes from 17+ years of working on the full range of systems this city throws at you — aging ductwork in 1890s Creole cottages, rooftop package units on French Quarter commercial buildings, multi-zone chiller systems in downtown hotels.
We are a young company with deep roots. We started in 2022, but the knowledge and relationships behind New Orleans Mechanical Pros go back nearly two decades. That combination — the energy and accountability of a new business, backed by the experience of a seasoned team — is exactly what we set out to build.
