Is Your Air Conditioner Showing These Warning Signs?
Call for professional AC repair if you notice:
- Your air conditioner is blowing warm air
- The AC won’t turn on
- Your home isn’t reaching the thermostat setting
- The system runs constantly
- The AC turns on and off repeatedly
- Airflow from the vents is weak
- Ice is forming on the indoor coil or refrigerant lines
- Your air conditioner is making unusual noises
- The outdoor unit isn’t running
- The system is tripping a breaker
- Water is leaking around the indoor unit
- Your energy bills have increased unexpectedly
- Some rooms are comfortable while others remain hot
- Your AC is short-cycling, (the AC System runs in short bursts, rather than longer, even cycles)
- Your system requires frequent repairs
If your air conditioner is not cooling in Shreveport, don’t assume that adding refrigerant or replacing a single part will solve the problem. The symptom may have several possible causes. A proper diagnosis identifies the underlying problem before repairs are recommended.
How Air Care Diagnoses an AC Problem
A professional AC repair begins with diagnosis. When our technician arrives, we don’t simply replace the first component that appears suspicious.
01
We Listen to you, the Homeowner
You know what your system normally sounds and how it feels.
We ask about the symptoms, when the problem started, its repair history, and what changes you have noticed.
02
We Identify the Equipment
The technician examines the HVAC system to determine its age, manufacturer, model, warranty coverage status, system type, refrigerant, and other relevant information.
This information helps determine the appropriate diagnostic and repair procedure.
03
We Inspect the System
Depending on the symptoms, the inspection may include electrical measurements, airflow evaluation, temperature measurements, refrigerant system testing, condensate drainage, coils, motors, controls, and other components.
04
We Identify the Cause
The objective is to determine what is actually causing the problem—not simply identify a symptom.
For example, “low refrigerant” is not necessarily the complete diagnosis. If refrigerant is low, the technician should investigate whether there is a leak or another reason the system is not operating correctly.
05
We Explain Your Options
If a repair is appropriate, we’ll explain what needs to be repaired and why.
If the system is old, inefficient, severely damaged, or facing a major component failure, we’ll also explain when replacement may make more financial sense.
06
We Test the System
After the repair, the system should be tested to verify that the original problem has been addressed and that the equipment is operating properly.

Common AC Problems We Diagnose and Repair
Air Care technicians diagnose and repair many of the problems that cause residential air conditioners to stop cooling properly.
AC Not Cooling or Blowing Warm Air
A system that runs without producing enough cool air may have an airflow restriction, refrigerant problem, electrical failure, dirty coil, compressor problem, thermostat issue, or another mechanical fault. We test the system to determine why it isn’t producing the expected cooling performance.
ACs That Won’t Turn On
A no-cool condition can be caused by something as simple as a thermostat or electrical issue, or by a failed component inside the indoor or outdoor unit. Our technicians inspect the controls, electrical components, safety controls, motors, and other relevant components to identify the failure.
Frozen AC Coil
Ice on an air conditioner does not mean the system is producing extra cooling. A frozen evaporator coil can result from restricted airflow, low refrigerant caused by a leak, dirty components, or other operating problems.
Refrigerant Leaks
A properly operating closed-loop air conditioning system should not continually lose refrigerant. If refrigerant is low, the important question is why. Air Care can investigate suspected refrigerant leaks and determine whether the problem involves a coil, connection, line set, or another component.
AC Compressor Problems
The compressor is one of the most important—and expensive—components in an air conditioning system. Compressor problems may produce unusual noises, difficulty starting, breaker trips, poor cooling, or a complete loss of cooling. Before recommending compressor replacement, our technicians evaluate the system and determine whether the compressor is actually the source of the problem.
Electrical Problems
Capacitors, contactors, relays, wiring, breakers, motors, controls, and other electrical components can cause an AC system to stop operating. Electrical repairs require proper diagnosis and safe handling of the equipment.
Condensate Drain and Water Leaks
Air conditioners naturally produce condensation while removing humidity from your home. A clogged condensate drain can cause water to back up into the drain pan or leak into the surrounding area. In Shreveport’s humid climate, condensate drainage is an especially important part of keeping an HVAC system operating properly. A water leak should not simply be ignored. Continued overflow can damage ceilings, walls, flooring, and other parts of the home. Air Care provides AC Float Switch Installation, that can guard against drain pan overflows.

Can you repair older R-410A air conditioners?
Existing R-410A equipment can continue to be serviced. However, the availability and economics of repairing older equipment should be considered when evaluating a major repair. EPA continues to allow R-410A components for servicing existing systems.
How long does AC repair take?
Some repairs can be completed during the initial service visit. Others require a specific replacement part or additional work. The time depends on the failure and parts availability.
How much does AC repair cost in Shreveport?
The price depends on the specific problem and equipment. A technician must diagnose the system to determine what failed and what repair is required.
Does low refrigerant always mean I need a new AC?
No. A refrigerant problem does not automatically mean the system needs replacement. The age, condition, refrigerant type, leak location, repair cost, and overall condition of the system should be considered.
Why is water leaking from my AC?
A clogged condensate drain, drain-pan problem, condensate pump failure, frozen coil, or another drainage issue can cause water to escape from the HVAC system.
Why is my AC freezing up?
Common causes include restricted airflow, low refrigerant, dirty coils, or other operating problems. Turning the thermostat lower generally will not fix the underlying cause.
Why is my air conditioner running but not cooling?
Possible causes include airflow restrictions, refrigerant problems, dirty coils, electrical problems, compressor problems, thermostat issues, and other component failures. A technician should diagnose the system before determining the repair.
How do I know if my AC needs repair?
If your air conditioner isn’t cooling properly, won’t turn on, is making unusual noises, is leaking water, is freezing up, or is running continuously, professional diagnosis may be necessary.
What Does AC Repair Cost in Shreveport?
There is no single price for air conditioner repair because the cost depends on the actual failure.
A relatively simple electrical or control repair can be very different from a compressor, evaporator coil, condenser, or refrigerant-leak repair.
Common factors affecting AC repair cost include:
- The failed component
- The age and condition of the system
- The availability of replacement parts
- Whether the system uses an older refrigerant
- The location and severity of a refrigerant leak
- The complexity of the repair
- Whether additional components have been damaged
- Whether the system is worth repairing or replacing
Refrigerant Problems and AC Repair
Refrigerant is essential to the cooling process, but an air conditioner should not normally require repeated refrigerant additions.
If your system is low on refrigerant, our technicians can investigate the cause.
Possible sources include:
- Refrigerant line connections
- Evaporator coils
- Condenser coils
- Damaged refrigerant lines
- Corrosion
- Component failure
Simply adding refrigerant may temporarily restore cooling without addressing the underlying problem.
A proper repair may require locating and repairing the leak, replacing a damaged component, evacuating the system, and charging it according to the manufacturer’s specifications.

AC Repair for Shreveport’s Climate
Air conditioning in Shreveport has to deal with more than temperature.
Louisiana’s heat and humidity create demanding operating conditions for residential HVAC equipment.
Long cooling cycles, high outdoor temperatures, humidity removal, dust, debris, drainage problems, electrical loads, and normal mechanical wear can all contribute to HVAC problems.
That makes proper diagnosis particularly important.
A system that appears to have a simple “no cool” problem may actually have an airflow restriction, refrigerant leak, electrical problem, failing motor, dirty coil, thermostat issue, or another underlying fault.
Experienced HVAC Technicians
A good AC repair is more than replacing a part.
The technician needs to understand how the entire system works and how individual components interact.
Air Care technicians diagnose problems involving:
- Electrical systems
- Refrigeration circuits
- Airflow
- Motors
- Controls
- Thermostats
- Condensate systems
- Coils
- Compressors
- Heat pumps
- Split systems
- Package systems
Air Care also follows applicable requirements for refrigerant handling and HVAC service.
Our goal is to explain AC Repair issues clearly to homeowners, so that they have the best information to make a smart decision.

Should You Repair or Replace Your AC?
Replacing an air conditioner isn’t automatically the best answer—and repairing an old system isn’t always the best financial decision either.
The right choice depends on the condition of the equipment and the economics of the repair. Our job is not to sell you a new system simply because an old system can be replaced.
We’ll evaluate the condition of your equipment and explain the options so you can make an informed decision.
REPARING YOUR AC
AC repair may make sense when:
- The system is relatively young
- The equipment has been reliable
- The repair involves a replaceable component
- The system has good overall condition
- The repair cost is reasonable compared with replacement
- The system still provides acceptable efficiency and comfort
REPLACING YOUR AC
Replacement may make more sense when:
- The system is approaching the end of its useful life
- Major components have failed
- Refrigerant leaks are recurring
- Repair costs are becoming frequent
- The system has significant corrosion
- Cooling performance remains poor after repeated repairs
- The equipment is substantially less efficient than current systems
R-410A, R-32 and R-454B: What Shreveport Homeowners Need to Know
The refrigerants used in residential air conditioning are changing.
Older systems in the Shreveport area may still use R-22 or R-410A, while newer equipment increasingly uses lower-GWP refrigerants such as R-32 or R-454B.
The transition is part of the EPA’s phasedown of hydrofluorocarbons under the American Innovation and Manufacturing Act.
EPA currently lists R-410A at a GWP of approximately 2,088, while R-454B is approximately 465. R-32 is also below the 700-GWP threshold applicable to the residential and light-commercial air-conditioning subsector.
Does the refrigerant change mean I need a new AC?
Not necessarily.
An existing R-410A system does not automatically need to be replaced simply because newer systems use different refrigerants.
EPA currently allows R-410A components to continue being sold for servicing existing systems, while restrictions apply to using higher-GWP refrigerants in new equipment.
R-32 and R-454B equipment also requires equipment specifically designed for those refrigerants. They are not interchangeable with an existing system simply by changing the refrigerant.
If your older AC develops a refrigerant problem, Air Care can evaluate the condition and age of the system and help you determine whether repairing the existing equipment or replacing it is the better long-term decision.
Refrigerant regulations are evolving, so Air Care will continue to update this information as EPA requirements change.
