HVAC Services in Baton Rouge, LA
NOAA's 1991-2020 climate normals put Baton Rouge at 1,693 heating degree days and 2,571 cooling degree days per year. Cooling carries most of the load, which is why compressors and condenser fan motors wear out faster here than in northern cities. Count on roughly 20 nights below 32°F and 88 afternoons past 90°F in a typical year. For a 2,000 sq ft house, this climate points to a heating load somewhere near 35,000 BTU/h. Treat that as a starting number. A Manual J calculation will move it up or down based on insulation and windows.
