Heat Pumps in Shreveport, LA
With mild winters and long summers, heat pumps suit the Ark-La-Tex well. They cool like an AC and heat efficiently on all but the coldest nights.
Request an HVAC technicianHow they work
They move heat in or out of the house.
Auxiliary heat
Backup heat strips run in very cold weather.
Defrost cycles
Steam from the outdoor unit in winter is normal.
Hard freezes
Rare deep freezes push backup heat; that's expected.
Repairs
Reversing valves, defrost boards and leaks.
Dual fuel
Pair with a gas furnace for the coldest nights.
Replacement
New heat pumps are far more efficient.
Ductless
Mini-split heat pumps suit additions and garages.
Defrost and ice storms
After a freezing rain, ice can coat the outdoor unit. If it doesn't clear during defrost cycles, switch to emergency heat and call for service.
Thermostat setup
A thermostat set up for heat pump control avoids running expensive backup heat when it isn't needed.
