You can have a perfect air conditioner and still be uncomfortable if your ductwork is leaking, undersized, or poorly designed. In many Baton Rouge homes, a large share of expensively cooled air escapes into a hot attic before it ever reaches the rooms you live in. Geaux 72 Degrees repairs, seals, and installs ductwork so the comfort you are paying for actually arrives where you want it.
Leaky and unbalanced ducts are behind a huge number of "some rooms are freezing, others are hot" complaints across the Capital Region. Melvin and the team diagnose the duct system, not just the equipment, and fix the real bottleneck. Call (831) 461-3437 to stop cooling your attic and start cooling your home.

How Bad Ducts Undermine Your Comfort
Duct leaks are money leaks. When supply ducts leak, the cool air you paid for dumps into the attic. When return ducts leak, they suck hot, humid, dusty attic air back into your system — which is why leaky ducts often make a house feel muggy and dusty at the same time. Undersized or poorly routed ducts create pressure problems that leave some rooms starved for air.
In Baton Rouge attics that hit brutal temperatures in summer, these losses are especially costly. Sealing and correcting the duct system is often the single best value upgrade a homeowner can make, sometimes rivaling the impact of new equipment.
Our Ductwork Services
We handle the full range: sealing leaks with mastic and proper materials, repairing or replacing torn and disconnected sections, adding or resizing runs to fix starved rooms, and designing and installing complete duct systems for renovations, additions, and new equipment. We also insulate ducts properly so they are not losing energy across a scorching attic.
The goal is a balanced, sealed, correctly sized system that delivers the right amount of air to every room. When we install a new AC, matching it to good ductwork is what makes the whole investment pay off.

Ductwork Repair & Installation FAQs
It varies by home, but leaky, poorly sealed ductwork can waste a significant portion of your conditioned air into the attic — a common and costly problem in Baton Rouge. Sealing the ducts often improves comfort and lowers bills noticeably. Call (831) 461-3437 for an assessment of your system.
Very often, yes. An uneven, undersized, or leaking duct run is one of the most common reasons a single room will not stay comfortable. We measure airflow to each area and correct the imbalance rather than just telling you to buy a bigger AC.
Absolutely. Installing an efficient new system on leaky ducts wastes much of the benefit. Sealing and correcting the ductwork at the same time as a replacement is the best way to get the full comfort and efficiency you are paying for.
Usually, yes. We measure airflow to the problem room and often fix it by sealing leaks, resizing a run, or correcting a restriction rather than redoing the whole system. Call (831) 461-3437 and we will find the specific cause of the imbalance.
It depends on their condition. Ducts with leaks at joints and fittings can often be sealed effectively, while runs that are crushed, badly torn, or undersized may need replacement. Our assessment tells you which, prioritized by the biggest impact on your comfort and bills.
