Your Reliable HVAC Partner for Rental Properties
If you manage rental property in the New Orleans area, you already know how an HVAC problem tends to arrive: a tenant calls on a Saturday morning in July, the unit is hot, the tenant is unhappy, and you need someone who will answer, show up, and tell you the truth about what it will cost.
Zees Air Conditioning provides expert HVAC service for property managers New Orleans investors and small landlords across the West Bank (including Gretna, Marrero, and Westwego).
We are an owner-operated company based in Gretna. Owner Abdelhamid Zaky has 10 years of hands-on HVAC experience, and Zees Air Conditioning holds Louisiana contractor license #79676. When you call, you deal with the person who runs the company, not a call center.
The HVAC Problems That Cost Property Managers the Most
Rental HVAC is different from an owner-occupied house. Owners notice a small problem early; tenants wait. By the time you hear about it, a minor issue has become a major expense.
❌ Preventable Complaint Calls
A large share of no-cooling calls trace back to small problems: a clogged condensate drain, a weak capacitor, or a dirty filter. Inexpensive to fix during maintenance, but costly during a breakdown.
❌ Repeat Visits for Same Issue
If a contractor tops off refrigerant without finding the leak, the unit is back on your list in weeks. Repeat visits cost you money and damage tenant goodwill.
❌ Humidity & Mildew Disputes
In our climate, an AC that cools but doesn't dehumidify leaves a unit feeling damp, leading to musty odors and mildew complaints long before the system fails.
❌ Tenant-Caused Airflow Issues
Blocked returns, covered vents, neglected filters, and extreme thermostat settings fight the system. A short note from our technician can prevent many of these.

How Working With Us Is Different
According to official energy maintenance standards, proper oversight saves landlords thousands. Here is why local managers trust us:
- One Point of Contact: Decisions about scheduling, pricing, and repair-vs-replace are made by the owner who knows your properties.
- Licensed & Insured: Our Louisiana license is #79676. You should check anyone you hire to enter your tenants' homes.
- Prices You Can See: $100 for check-ups, repairs from $150. You know the number before work starts, making it easier to approve budgets.
- Plain-English Explanations: We tell you exactly what failed and why, making it easy to pass along to an owner or partner.
- Honest Recommendations: If a repair will do, we say so. We would rather earn repeat portfolio work than sell a replacement you do not need.
A Practical Maintenance Approach for Multi-Unit Properties
Waiting for equipment to fail is the most expensive way to run rental HVAC. A basic preventive approach costs less over a year and gives you far fewer emergencies.
Two Visits a Year
A cooling visit before summer and a heating visit before the cooler months cover both sides of the system. In New Orleans, the pre-summer visit matters most to prevent catastrophic compressor failures.
Turnover Checks
Between tenants is the cheapest time to look at a unit's HVAC. A quick check at turnover can confirm the system runs properly, the drain flows, and the filter is fresh, so the next tenant does not find the problems for you.
How to Get Started With Us

Repairs start from $150 and a diagnostic is $100. Tell us who coordinates access (you or the tenant) and we will plan visits accordingly.
Follow Through & Reporting
We execute the repair, test the system, and explain exactly what we did and what to watch for next.
