Baton Rouge housing and HVAC
Older homes are often raised on piers with ducts in crawl spaces, while post-war and newer homes are slab-on-grade with attic air handlers. Heat pumps and gas furnaces with central AC are both common.
Summers are long, hot and very humid with highs in the 90s, and winters are mild with occasional freezes. Heavy rain, hurricanes and flooding are recurring risks.
Permits and seasonal timing in Baton Rouge
East Baton Rouge Parish's Department of Development issues mechanical permits, and Louisiana licenses mechanical contractors through the State Licensing Board for Contractors. AC tune-ups are best done in March or April.
Humidity and mold
High humidity and damp crawl spaces encourage mold in ducts and on coils, especially when systems are oversized.
Flood damage
Equipment that has been in floodwater must be inspected or replaced before use.
Drain clogs
