Duct cleaning takes care of a specific subset of issues that your AC unit can run into, but which most people rarely consider.

We may not experience bone-chilling winters like more northern states, but Louisiana can still have its share of stormy cold weather in winter. You’ll rely on your home’s heating system during these days, and a faulty heater is the last thing you want to have to deal with.
We know the easiest way to prevent having to call us for furnace repair in Shreveport, LA this coming winter.

If you remembered to have professional maintenance for your air conditioning system at the beginning of the year, you’ve likely had a trouble-free summer with your home cooling. However, the end of the summer is the most hazardous time of the year for an AC, even if it’s had a proper tune-up and inspection. With the heat still beating down, often hotter than ever, and an air conditioner having already gone through several months of hard work, the risk of a cooling system breaking down is higher. We recommend you pay close attention to how your AC is running and even consider a new ac installation. Either way, call us as soon as anything seems wrong.
Here are some common issues that can strike an AC during the dog days of summer.
If you can’t take the heat, turn on your AC!
The last thing anyone wants to find out is that their AC can’t beat the heat. Unfortunately, this is a common occurrence that requires a lot of air conditioning repair calls in the summer. If you’ve discovered that your air conditioner can’t keep up with the heat, there are a few potential reasons. Just remember to call us for air conditioning repair in Shreveport, LA.
The compressor is the literal heart of an air conditioning system. It’s responsible for the circulation of refrigerant that allows the AC to move heat from inside a house to outside. Without a working compressor, an AC is nothing more than a large fan moving around room-temperature air. The compressor is also a powerful and expensive component. When a compressor fails, the conventional wisdom is that it’s better to replace the entire AC rather than invest in replacing the compressor.
We’ve talked before about the problem of refrigerant leaking from an air conditioning system. We’ve also talked about why you don’t want to see ice forming on your AC. This post meets halfway between those two: we’re talking about leaks, and we’re talking about water. Refrigerant isn’t the only liquid that may leak from an air conditioner. You might see water leaking from your indoor AC cabinet. Why does this happen and is it a reason to call us for air conditioning repair in Shreveport, LA? We’ll answer those questions below.
With winter winding down, it’s a good time to think about how your heater is holding up. Running for months on end can put a strain on your system, but luckily, there are signs to help you diagnose any potential problems.
As you prepare to switch to air conditioning, now is the perfect time to check in with your HVAC system and see if your heating could use a professional’s care.
These are five signs that you may need to replace your heater. If you recognize any of them, scheduling a service call for heating replacement in Shreveport, LA can help you resolve the issue quickly.
Temperatures are swinging back and forth here at the end of the year in Shreveport, making it hard to predict when you’ll need your heating system running or not. You will definitely need it more in the coming months as we enter the middle of winter, and you want to be as certain as you can that the heater will turn on and provide heat when you need it the most.
What can you do to have that certainty?
The answer to that is simple, at least if you have some knowledge of how HVAC systems work: arrange for professional heating maintenance in Shreveport, LA. The sooner you have this done, the more protected your home will be from a broken heater during a cold snap.
The invention of central heating systems was to ensure that living spaces throughout a house enjoyed an even level of warmth. Maybe a few temperature fluctuations here and there because of windows and insulation and room placement, but in general, central heating is designed to give all the spaces that need a proper level of warmth.
So if you have a central heating system, such as a furnace or heat pump, that is leaving parts of your house too cold (or some parts too hot), there’s something wrong. The solution may be a simple one, or you may need to call our team at Moon’s Air for heating repair in Shreveport, LA. We’ll look at a few possible reasons your central heating isn’t spreading the warmth around evenly.

You’ll need to schedule professional maintenance for the heater to ensure it works at peak performance through the winter. You’ll also need to pay attention to your air conditioner, which just ran through a gauntlet of hot weather. In fact, it may be its last summer, and if you need a new AC installation in Shreveport, LA, fall is a good time to have it completed.
