Why Proper AC Sizing and Design Matter in Shreveport’s Climate
Shreveport sits in ASHRAE Zone 2A—hot-humid—with summer design temperatures reaching 95–98°F and high wet-bulb conditions that create heavy latent (moisture) loads. Your air conditioner must remove both heat and humidity to keep you comfortable, and that requires proper sizing and runtime.
An oversized AC cools the air quickly but shuts off before it can pull enough moisture out, leaving your home clammy and uncomfortable even when the thermostat says 72°F. Short-cycling also increases wear, drives up repair costs, and wastes energy. An undersized system, on the other hand, runs continuously on the hottest days and never catches up, leaving rooms warm and utility bills high.
We perform Manual J load calculations for every installation, accounting for your home’s envelope, windows, orientation, and ductwork. We match equipment capacity to actual demand, select the right airflow and refrigerant charge, and verify performance with refrigerant gauges and airflow measurements. The result: balanced cooling, effective dehumidification, quieter operation, and lower long-term costs. In Shreveport’s long cooling season—often 2,400–2,800 cooling degree days per year—proper design isn’t a detail; it’s the foundation of comfort and efficiency.
