Heat Pump Services in Shreveport, LA
One system for blazing August afternoons and those February mornings when Northwest Louisiana wakes up to ice on the Red River bridges.
Heat Pumps Built for Ark-La-Tex Weather
Heat pumps are a natural fit for Shreveport. Our winters are mild most of the time — plenty of 50-degree January afternoons — which is exactly the weather where a heat pump heats most efficiently. And because a heat pump is also your air conditioner, you get high-efficiency cooling through our brutal summers from the same equipment.
But Northwest Louisiana isn't the Deep South. The February 2021 ice storm proved that: a week of single-digit temperatures frozen pipes across Caddo and Bossier Parish and pushed every heat pump in the region to its limit. We install systems with properly sized auxiliary heat strips and smart thermostats that manage the balance point automatically, so you're covered when a blue norther drops temperatures 40 degrees overnight — and you're not burning expensive strip heat on ordinary winter days.
Heat Pump Services We Provide
- Heat pump repair — defrost boards, reversing valves, refrigerant leaks
- New heat pump installation with correctly sized backup heat
- Winter defrost and performance checks before the first freeze
- Dual-fuel setups pairing a heat pump with an existing gas furnace
If your heat pump is blowing cool air in heat mode, icing up and staying iced, or the emergency heat light keeps coming on during mild weather, those are all fixable problems — and they're usually cheaper to fix now than after the compressor pays the price.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do heat pumps work in Shreveport winters?
Yes — modern heat pumps heat efficiently well below freezing, and Shreveport rarely stays under 20°F for long. The key is correct sizing and properly configured auxiliary heat for the handful of hard-freeze nights we get each year, which is exactly how we set them up.
Why is my heat pump covered in ice?
A thin layer of frost that melts off during a defrost cycle every 60–90 minutes is normal. A unit encased in ice that never clears is not — that points to a failed defrost board, bad sensor, low refrigerant, or a stuck reversing valve. Turn the system off and call us before the compressor gets damaged.
Is a heat pump cheaper to run than a furnace in Louisiana?
For most Shreveport homes, yes. In our climate a heat pump delivers 2–3 units of heat per unit of electricity through most of the winter, which beats electric strip heat by a wide margin and usually beats gas on mild days. We'll run the numbers for your specific home during a quote.
