Portfolio Project: Kelly’s Roast Beef – New Port Richey, FL

Fred Ordine • July 7, 2025

Ordines Air Conditioning and Heating Inc. is proud to spotlight our recent commercial HVAC installation project for Kelly’s Roast Beef in New Port Richey, FL. As a beloved Massachusetts staple expanding into Florida, this restaurant needed a top-tier HVAC contractor who could deliver performance, reliability, and energy efficiency, and that’s exactly what we brought to the table.

A Full HVAC and Refrigeration Solution for a High-Demand Restaurant

This new construction project in New Port Richey, FL, called for a custom HVAC design to meet the needs of a fast-paced, high-volume kitchen environment. Our experienced AC contractors worked closely with the general contractor and restaurant owner to plan and execute a system that prioritizes airflow, comfort, and food safety.

We installed high-efficiency rooftop HVAC units, precision-designed custom ductwork, and commercial kitchen ventilation systems to maintain ideal indoor air quality across both dining and prep areas. Proper airflow and temperature control are vital not just for guest comfort, but also for maintaining safe working conditions in the kitchen.

Commercial Refrigeration Built for Performance in Kelly’s Roast Beef, New Port Richey, FL

In addition to HVAC installation, our team provided and installed walk-in coolers and freezers, along with high-performance commercial refrigeration systems essential to daily operations. From food prep to long-term storage, these systems help Kelly’s keep their famous roast beef fresh and flavorful. Our commercial refrigeration work included:

  • Custom walk-in cooler and freezer installation,
  • Energy-efficient compressor and condenser systems,
  • Full integration with the restaurant’s floor plan and kitchen layout,
  • Ongoing support for maintenance and emergency 24/7 HVAC repair.


Built to Withstand Florida’s Heat and Busy Dinner Rushes

Operating in Florida’s humid climate means that both the HVAC and refrigeration systems must be tough enough to withstand high temperatures and non-stop usage. Our team chose durable, energy-efficient equipment built to perform under pressure – perfect for keeping guests cool in the dining room and ensuring food stays safely stored, even during peak hours. We prioritized indoor air quality, humidity control, and long-term energy savings, so we were able to deliver a turnkey solution that will serve this location for years to come.
