About Guidry’s Air Conditioning & Refrigeration Service
Guidry’s Heating and Cooling, established before Hurricane Katrina in 2005, has evolved significantly since its early days. Originally a small operation with about 10 employees, the company faced severe setbacks after the hurricane, shrinking to just a few staff members.
Over the years, the company has grown steadily, driven by a desire to balance a demanding work life with family needs and achieve financial stability. By 2013, Guidry was dealing with debt, but has been 100% financed through themselves and their profits have now become debt-free, with net profits exceeding its past revenues! Guidry’s Heating and Cooling first partnered with WEX Field Service Management (FSM) Payments platform around 2015, initially leveraging its credit card processing and prepaid Visa debit card capabilities.
The company upgraded to the full WEX FSM Enterprise software in January 2021 to boost operational efficiency and payment processing. With WEX FSM, Guidry was able to significantly speed up payment collections and have a work-life balance to spend time with his family and engage in his hobbies.
