Qualified HVAC Services in Shreveport, LA 71107 - JH Heating and Air

Our maintenance program is designed for our local climate and includes a comprehensive check of your system's key components. We clean coils, check refrigerant levels, inspect electrical connections, and ensure your thermostat is calibrated. For Shreveport residents, we pay special attention to capacitors and contactors due to our high humidity and heat, which can cause premature wear. Regular maintenance helps prevent costly breakdowns during our hottest months and keeps your system running efficiently.

Short cycling is a common issue here, often caused by an oversized unit, a dirty air filter, low refrigerant, or a failing capacitor. Our technicians first diagnose the root cause—we frequently find capacitor failures due to our sustained summer heat. We'll check the electrical components, refrigerant charge, and airflow, then provide a clear explanation and solution, which may involve a capacitor replacement, refrigerant recharge, or ductwork adjustment to restore proper, efficient operation for your home.

The decision depends on the age of your system, repair frequency, and efficiency. If your system is over 10-15 years old, requires frequent repairs, or causes high energy bills, a replacement may be more cost-effective. For a sudden breakdown, we'll assess the problem and give you an honest recommendation. We consider your home's specific needs and the long-term savings of a new, properly sized, energy-efficient unit, especially important for managing Shreveport's summers, before advising on the best path forward.
