Why Cooling Design Matters in Shreveport’s Climate
Shreveport sits in ASHRAE Zone 2A (hot-humid), with summer design temperatures near 95-98°F and punishing humidity levels that drive latent load. Your air conditioner doesn’t just lower the temperature; it pulls moisture out of the air to make your home feel comfortable. When a system is poorly sized or installed, you pay the price in comfort, utility bills, and equipment lifespan.
An oversized AC cools the air quickly but shuts off before it can remove enough humidity. You’re left with a cold, clammy house and a system that cycles on and off constantly, wearing out components and wasting energy. An undersized system runs nonstop on the hottest days, struggling to keep up and driving your electric bill through the roof.
Proper cooling design starts with a detailed load calculation that accounts for your home’s size, insulation, windows, orientation, and ductwork. In this climate, where your AC may run 2,400 to 2,800 cooling degree days per year, choosing the right equipment and installing it correctly isn’t optional; it’s the foundation of long-term comfort and efficiency.
