Bellande Services

Bellande Services has kept New Orleans comfortable since 1946, making it one of the city's longest-running family-owned HVAC and electrical contractors. Now in its fifth generation, the business traces its roots to Joseph Bellande Sr.'s garage, where a single service van handled electrical work across New Orleans, Metairie, and Slidell. The company holds multiple certifications including electrical, mechanical, roofing, residential, and heavy construction credentials. With 26 reviews averaging 4.7 stars, the company serves residential customers throughout the greater New Orleans metro area, offering both air conditioning and heating services alongside generator installations.

What distinguishes Bellande Services is their multi-trade expertise and deep roots in the community. Unlike contractors who specialize in a single trade, Bellande handles electrical work, HVAC systems, and whole-home generator installations under one roof. The company emphasizes service before sales, meaning technicians focus on diagnosing and repairing existing equipment rather than pushing new installations. Their generator division has become particularly significant since Hurricane Katrina devastated the area in 2005, Bellande's team helped rebuild the city by installing generators in countless homes across New Orleans, Slidell, and Metairie during the recovery effort.

Reviewers consistently praise specific technicians who go beyond basic repairs. Hunter with Bellande Services recently earned mention for arriving quickly, charging fairly, and taking time to explain the problem while teaching the homeowner how to handle future issues. Another reviewer, Belinda, received acclaim for promptly diagnosing a furnace control board failure and completing the replacement efficiently. Keith Desselle's review highlights the company's generator expertise: his generator has weathered multiple hurricanes, freezes, and accidental power line damage since 2016, with Bellande responding promptly whenever issues arise. The company maintains annual check-ins with generator customers, ensuring yearly service gets completed and customers stay protected through New Orleans' unpredictable storm season.
