Chauvin sits along Bayou Petit Caillou in lower Terrebonne Parish, where a cooling season that runs most of the year meets salt air off the marsh. We at Martin’s A/C and Electric have worked this stretch of the bayou since 1967, and HVAC service in Chauvin is a different job than it is twenty miles inland. Book online and we will come to you.
HVAC and Electrical Services We Provide in Chauvin
Air conditioning repair and replacement. The long Chauvin cooling season puts thousands of runtime hours on a system every year. We diagnose the whole system rather than the part that failed loudest, and when replacement is the honest answer we size to your home rather than matching the old nameplate. See our air conditioning services.
Heating repair and installation. Heat gets light use here, which is exactly why it disappoints on the first hard front. We test under load in the fall so the failure turns up in October instead of January. See our heating services.
Heat pumps. A short winter and a long humid summer make Chauvin good heat pump territory, provided the equipment is specified for coastal duty and the pad is set high enough for the site.
Mini splits. Raised homes in Chauvin create enclosed spaces underneath, plus camps and workshops the central system never reached. A ductless head conditions those without running duct across the property.
Indoor air quality and dehumidification. Humidity is the root of most air quality complaints in this community. We look at run time and return location before we sell anyone a filter.
Licensed electrical work. Panel upgrades, rewiring, EV charger installation, and repairs to the outdoor circuits that salt air degrades fastest. See our electrical services.
Maintenance plans. Two visits a year covers the coil rinsing, drain clearing, and connection checks that prevent most of the emergency calls we take in this parish.

Why Post Storm Rebuilding Changed HVAC Work in Chauvin
Lower Terrebonne Parish took a direct hit when Hurricane Ida came ashore at Port Fourchon on 29 August 2021 as a category 4 storm, according to the National Hurricane Center tropical cyclone report. Chauvin sat inside the worst of the wind field, and the rebuilding that followed reshaped the housing stock we service today.
The mechanical consequence is easy to miss. Homes that were rebuilt or repaired came back higher, and equipment came back with them. Condensers that once sat on a slab now sit on platforms. Air handlers moved out of ground level utility rooms and into attics or upper floors. Ductwork that used to run through an enclosed crawl space now runs through open air beneath an elevated house.
Each of those changes has a cost attached. A condenser on a raised platform catches more wind driven salt spray and needs its coil rinsed more often. An air handler relocated to an attic works against a much larger temperature difference, so duct sealing matters more than it used to. Duct in open air under a house sweats, leaks, and attracts wildlife in ways enclosed duct never did.
We plan around that. On a Chauvin service call we look at how the house sits before we look at the equipment, because on this bayou the installation decisions made during rebuilding explain more failures than the equipment itself does.
What Chauvin Customers Say About Martin’s A/C and Electric
A compressor diagnosed in minutes, not days
A failed compressor in the middle of a Terrebonne Parish summer is the call nobody wants to make. What matters is how fast someone gets eyes on it and whether the replacement is already moving before the house gets unbearable.
Dexter came out to diagnose my broken compressor within minutes after calling, and Jay got another one on the way so I can get up and running quick.
That is the sequence we aim for on every emergency call down the bayou. Diagnose quickly, source the part immediately, and keep the customer informed while it is in transit. Read Tyrus’s full Google review.
Twenty years of response time on the bayou
Coverage claims are easy to make. What tells you whether a company actually works your community is how long its customers have been calling and how quickly someone answers when they do.
Best business on the bayou! Always top notch service and unbelievable response time!
Chauvin is part of that bayou, and being close enough to reach it quickly is the whole point of being a local company rather than one dispatching from a city an hour away. Read Jeremy’s full Google review.
