HVAC Services Shreveport LA | Call Affordable Air

This is often called 'short cycling' and is a common issue in our area, often caused by an oversized unit, a dirty evaporator coil, or low refrigerant. The constant humidity and heat put a heavy load on systems. Our technicians perform a detailed diagnostic to identify the root cause—whether it's a need for a thorough coil cleaning, a refrigerant charge adjustment, or a thermostat calibration—to restore normal, efficient operation and prevent unnecessary wear on your compressor.

Given our high humidity and pollen levels, we recommend a professional coil cleaning at least once a year, ideally during your spring maintenance tune-up. Dirty coils are a primary culprit for reduced cooling power, higher energy bills, and system strain. Our service includes a careful cleaning of both the indoor evaporator and outdoor condenser coils to ensure optimal heat transfer and airflow, which is crucial for keeping your home cool efficiently during our long summers.

Our Shreveport-specific maintenance visit is designed to catch issues like dirty coils and early signs of short cycling. We thoroughly clean coils, check refrigerant levels, calibrate thermostats and safety controls, inspect electrical connections, and ensure the condensate drain is clear. This proactive service not only improves current performance and efficiency but also helps identify small problems before they lead to a major breakdown, saving you money and discomfort during our hottest months.
