What’s the best thermostat setting for summer in Baton Rouge?

For optimal comfort and energy savings during summer in Baton Rouge, set your thermostat to 78°F (25°C) when you're home. If you're away, raising it to 85°F can help reduce cooling costs. Using a programmable or smart thermostat can make these adjustments automatic and more efficient.

How can I improve indoor air quality in Baton Rouge?

To improve indoor air quality in Baton Rouge, start by regularly changing your HVAC filters, scheduling routine maintenance, and using air purifiers. Consider duct cleaning if your home has excessive dust or allergy symptoms. Proper ventilation and keeping your home clean are key to healthier air.

How often should I service my HVAC system in Baton Rouge?

It’s ideal to service your cooling system each spring and your heating system each fall to ensure you find small issues before they become big problems.

Do you offer HVAC financing in Baton Rouge?

We work with several lenders to provide financing options for qualifying customers. Ask your technician about your financing options.

How often should I have my furnace serviced in Baton Rouge?

It’s recommended to have your furnace professionally serviced once a year, ideally in the fall before the heating season begins in Baton Rouge. Annual maintenance helps ensure safe operation, improves efficiency, and can extend the life of your system.

How often should I have my air ducts cleaned in Baton Rouge?

It’s generally recommended to have your air ducts cleaned every 3 to 5 years in Baton Rouge, or more often if you notice dust buildup, allergies, or musty odors. Homes with pets, recent renovations, or high pollen levels in Baton Rouge may benefit from more frequent cleanings to maintain healthy indoor air quality.

How often should I schedule AC maintenance in Baton Rouge?

You should schedule AC maintenance once a year, ideally in the spring before the cooling season starts. Regular tune-ups help your system run efficiently, prevent breakdowns, and extend the life of your unit, especially important in Baton Rouge's summer climate.

What size HVAC system is right for my home in Baton Rouge?

The right HVAC system size for your home in Baton Rouge depends on factors like square footage, insulation, number of windows, and local climate. A professional load calculation ensures your system is properly sized for comfort and efficiency. Oversized or undersized units can lead to higher energy bills and uneven temperatures.

Joshua was pleasant, respectful, knowledgeable, and conveyed all the details to me with pictures. Love his professionalism. Thank you for such a great customer service experience. As far as the price…I’m not sure it was a bit pricey to me but I never had the type of service performed on my unit before. I’ll have to ask around on that part but the customer service and work was great…thanks again.

From the phone call to the fixed air-conditioning unit, this company was amazing to work with. They gave me an estimate of 1 to 4 hours of them to be out to my house and they were in here in less than an hour. The young man who came, Cody, was so respectful and polite. He helped me to understand everything to the best of his ability and fixed everything that was wrong in less than an hour. Absolutely suggest this company to anyone in need

My a/c stopped working on a Friday evening. Called and left a message and they called back within a few minutes. Was going to send someone out at 11 pm if I wanted. I chose to make an appointment for the next morning.. communication was great and the technician was friendly, knowledgeable, and understanding. Excellent service!

WOW! I don’t remember how many years I have been associated with your company, but it is more than a few, and I have had several technicians service my units, but I have never had anyone take the time to not only show me the pictures of every part that he serviced, but to explain them to me and show me the numbers from his gauges and explain to me what ranges they should be in and whether or not I needed to worry about any of those parts. He explained it in a manner that a novice like me could understand and he asked questions to make sure I knew What he was talking about. This Young man is an incredible asset to your company and if it all possible, please make sure that he is the one that continues to service my account. Please tell him, thank you for me and let him know how much I appreciated him.

Matthew Rick

General Manager

HVAC work is truly Matt’s passion. At the age of 13, Matthew Rick started working with his grandfather in the Heating and Air Business. Matt started working for One Hour as a service technician over 10 years ago; he held the title of Top Customer Service Technician for many years. Now, as the General and Service Manager, Matt is hard-pressed in making sure that all employees provide each customer with the highest quality experience. Matt has been a strong hand in helping develop and advance the company’s protocols, standards, and core values. Matt says that no matter what his title here is, his favorite title of all is the one he most recently received – “Dad.”
Kelly Scott

Service Manager

For the past 30 years and counting, Kelly Scott has dedicated himself to providing top-notch HVAC work for South Louisiana residents; his motto being, “If you cannot service your customer properly, someone else will.” Kelly moved to Louisiana with his mom, a proud member of the United States Army, at the beginning of his high school days. During that time, he picked up a part-time job at a small, local A/C and Heating Company. From there he moved on to opening his own business in 1992 and later merged his HVAC family with ours in March of 2016. His favorite thing about working for One Hour is the readiness of resources and people to learn, grow, and teach. When he’s not roaming about the office making classic dad jokes, Kelly can be found in his garage tinkering with classic cars. His favorite? The 72 Ford Torino.
James Ward

Service Manager

From the first moment he can remember, James Ward has always been a part of the HVAC industry. He started working with his family’s Heating and Air company from the time he was strong enough to carry a tool bag through technical college. He has received certifications from the North American Technical Excellence Program (NATE), the Building Performance Institute (B.P.I.), and three from the National Comfort Institute (N.C.I.). In the ongoing 4 years that he has graced us with his expertise, he says that the biggest lesson our company has taught him is that the better a company treats its employees, the better the employees will treat the customer. His life motto? “Life is like a box of chocolates. You never know what you’re going to get.”
Jason Gerard

Project Supervisor

A native Denham Springs, Jason Gerard is back to the HVAC industry; his previous HVAC experiences involved working on Commercial Ductwork with his brother-in-law. Retiring from his 20-year career as a cell tower engineer, Jason came to One Hour Heating and Air beginning of 2017 looking for a new, challenging change of pace. His favorite thing about working for One Hour is how immediately the company embraced him as part of the team and accepted him and his family as part of theirs. When you have the time, head over to Walker and check out his slot car racing track “Hot Rod Garage Slot Cars.”
Gennifer Constant

Accounting Manager

For 5 years now Gennifer has played an imperative role in our One Hour Heating and Air family. Gennifer is our go-to person for any questions we have regarding our company insurance, history about the company, advice about life, and, of course, all things accounting. She is also the person we can count on the set things straight when something goes amiss. When she’s not at One Hour, Gennifer enjoys riding the Harley with her husband and spending time with her two daughters. Gennifer says she enjoys accounting because it’s all one giant puzzle. She states, “It’s the most satisfying and accomplishing feeling when you finally solve the puzzle.”

Melisa Scott

Install Manager

Melisa is the infamous wife of Kelly Scott and a key asset to our One Hour family. In 1992, she aided her husband of 34 years with opening their own Heating and Air Company and began running the business full-time in 1999 until merging with One Hour in 2016. The most important thing working for ROHAC has shown her is how cost and value go hand in hand. Melisa has also held roles as a Human Resources Director for a local hospital for 14yrs, a Louisiana State Board member from 2010-2014, office nanny to Matt Rick’s son Samuel, and her favorite role – “Mawmaw.” Melisa would like to end her biography with an in-remembrance to her brother Robert, who passed away in 2013 of ALS – he was a true man of God, her closest friend, and one of her greatest blessings and inspirations.
