The best AC repair is the one you never need. In Baton Rouge, where systems run a huge share of the year, a little seasonal attention goes a long way toward avoiding a July breakdown. Geaux 72 Degrees offers thorough spring cooling checks and fall heating checks that keep your system running efficiently, catch small faults early, and protect your equipment warranty.
Melvin built this business on doing honest work, and our tune-ups reflect that: a real, hands-on inspection with measurements you can see, not a quick filter swap and a sticker. Call (831) 461-3437 to schedule a visit or ask about a maintenance plan that keeps you on the calendar every season.
Signs Your HVAC Is Overdue for a Tune-Up
- It has been more than a year since your system was professionally serviced
- Energy bills are creeping up without any change in your habits
- The system takes longer to cool the house than it used to
- You hear new rattles, hums, or the unit cycles on and off more often
- The house feels more humid than it should even at the setpoint
- You have never had the condensate drain professionally cleared
- Your equipment warranty requires documented annual maintenance
What’s Included
Every hvac maintenance & tune-ups job from Geaux 72 Degrees is done the complete way — here’s what you get when our team is on site:
- Refrigerant charge check with temperature-split measurement across the coil
- Capacitor, contactor, and electrical connection testing under load
- Condensate drain cleared and flushed to prevent humid-season backups
- Static pressure reading to catch airflow restrictions
- Coil, blower, and filter inspection
- Thermostat calibration and safety-control verification
- Documented findings you can keep for warranty records
- Priority scheduling and repair discounts for maintenance-plan members
What a Real Tune-Up Includes
A tune-up should be a measured inspection, not a wipe-down. We check the refrigerant charge, measure the temperature split across the coil, test the capacitor and electrical connections under load, and read static pressure to catch airflow problems. We clean or flush the condensate drain — a big deal in our humidity — inspect the blower and coils, tighten electrical connections, and verify the thermostat and safety controls.
You get documented findings, so you know the real condition of your system rather than just a "looks good." If we spot a weak capacitor or a drain starting to clog, you can address it on your schedule instead of during a heat wave.

What to Expect When You Schedule
Scheduling maintenance is easy — call (831) 461-3437 and we set an appointment window that works for you, with a heads-up when the technician is on the way. Because it is planned service, we can usually get you on the calendar at a time that fits your day.
On site, we work through the full checklist, show you our measurements, and flag anything worth watching. You leave with a clear picture of your system's health and a written record that satisfies most manufacturer warranty requirements.
Why Maintenance Matters More in Zone 2A
Baton Rouge racks up roughly 2,690 cooling degree days a year — your air conditioner simply works more hours than systems almost anywhere else. All that runtime means faster wear, more chances for the condensate drain to clog in the humidity, and refrigerant charge that drifts over time. Regular service keeps the system efficient and reliable through the long cooling season.
Timing helps too. We recommend booking your cooling tune-up in spring and your heating check in fall — the shoulder seasons — so problems surface before the extreme weather, not during it. It is the difference between a scheduled fix and an emergency call.

HVAC Maintenance & Tune-Ups FAQs
Because our systems run so many hours a year, we recommend a cooling tune-up each spring and a heating check each fall — twice a year. If you can only do one, make it a spring AC check before the heat arrives. Call (831) 461-3437 to get on the schedule.
A system with the correct refrigerant charge, clean coils, and good airflow runs more efficiently and cools your home faster, which shows up on your Entergy bill. Maintenance will not perform miracles on aging equipment, but it keeps a healthy system running at its best and prevents efficiency from quietly slipping.
Most manufacturers require documented annual maintenance to honor their parts warranty, and skipping it can jeopardize a claim. Our tune-ups come with written documentation you can keep on file, so your coverage stays protected.
A one-time tune-up is a full seasonal inspection on demand. A maintenance plan puts you on the calendar automatically each spring and fall and adds priority scheduling plus discounts on any repairs. Call (831) 461-3437 and we will explain the plan options.
Book your cooling check in spring and your heating check in fall, during the shoulder seasons, so problems surface before the heat wave or the cold snap. Scheduling ahead also means you get an appointment window that fits your day instead of waiting on an emergency.
