A new air conditioner should be a fifteen-year decision, and the installation day determines most of it. The industry's open secret is that a poorly installed system gives up a large slice of its rated efficiency before it ever cools a room: an oversized unit short-cycles, dehumidifies poorly, and leaves a Shreveport house cold but clammy; an undersized one runs flat-out and never catches up on the worst afternoons. That is why Shreveport HVAC starts every installation with a real load calculation, measuring your home's square footage, insulation, window exposure, and duct system, instead of matching the tonnage bolted to the wall by the last contractor.
Most of our service calls are for AC Repair. Start there if your system isn't running right.
Signs You Need AC Installation in Shreveport
The sooner you notice these red flags, the easier and cheaper the fix. Watch for these telltale signs:
- Your current AC is past the twelve-to-fifteen-year mark
- A cold, damp feeling indoors, which usually points to an oversized system
- A major repair, like a dead compressor or leaking evaporator, on aging equipment
- Repair calls that keep coming, with bigger bills every time
- Hot spots and warm rooms the AC can never catch up with
- Summer energy bills that keep rising as comfort drops
- The AC runs constantly on hot days and never reaches the setpoint
- Equipment that depends on R-22, a refrigerant no longer produced
