Monday, December 27th, 2021

Temperatures are swinging back and forth here at the end of the year in Shreveport, making it hard to predict when you’ll need your heating system running or not. You will definitely need it more in the coming months as we enter the middle of winter, and you want to be as certain as you can that the heater will turn on and provide heat when you need it the most.

What can you do to have that certainty?

The answer to that is simple, at least if you have some knowledge of how HVAC systems work: arrange for professional heating maintenance in Shreveport, LA. The sooner you have this done, the more protected your home will be from a broken heater during a cold snap.

Why Your Heater Isn’t Evenly Warming Your House

Monday, December 13th, 2021

The invention of central heating systems was to ensure that living spaces throughout a house enjoyed an even level of warmth. Maybe a few temperature fluctuations here and there because of windows and insulation and room placement, but in general, central heating is designed to give all the spaces that need a proper level of warmth.

So if you have a central heating system, such as a furnace or heat pump, that is leaving parts of your house too cold (or some parts too hot), there’s something wrong. The solution may be a simple one, or you may need to call our team at Moon’s Air for heating repair in Shreveport, LA. We’ll look at a few possible reasons your central heating isn’t spreading the warmth around evenly.

Why Having the Right Size AC Is So Important

Monday, July 12th, 2021

An air conditioning installation in Shreveport, LA should always be left to professionals. The work involved in putting a new central air conditioning system into a home is far too complex for an amateur, and it risks voiding the warranty. But one of the most important jobs that a professional does when installing an AC takes place before the actual installation: finding the right size of air conditioner.

When we refer to the “size” of an AC, we aren’t talking about how much physical space it takes up, but its cooling capacity. Professionals go through several steps to properly size a new air conditioner so that it matches the specific cooling requirements of a house. It’s important to have this job done correctly, since an AC that’s the wrong size means serious trouble.

My Heat Pump Won’t Switch Out of Heating Mode! What’s Wrong?

Monday, June 28th, 2021

A heat pump is arguably one of the best investments you can purchase to make your home more comfortable. This refrigerant-based system can work as a powerful cooling system in summer and an energy-efficient heater during winter. You do not need to invest in different heating and cooling systems because you have one unit taking care of your home’s cooling and heating needs all year.

Unfortunately, heat pumps can sometimes struggle to switch over from heating mode to cooling mode. If the heat pump isn’t doing half of the job that it is supposed to, your home can become quite uncomfortable. With hotter weather approaching, it’s a good time to address the problem before it worsens.

Below we’ll take a look at reasons your heat pump won’t switch out of heating mode. If you need to hire services for heat pump and AC repair in Shreveport, LA, contact us.

Refrigerant Leaks in Your AC: Why They’re Bad News

Tuesday, June 1st, 2021

Your air conditioning runs on electricity, but the key source of how an AC actually does its job is the chemical refrigerant that circulates through it. We want to mention this upfront because people often make the mistake of thinking refrigerant is an energy source for an AC that can potentially run out after enough use. Refrigerant isn’t the power source of the AC: it’s a heat transference medium, which is a fancy way of saying that it’s what allows an air conditioner to move heat from the indoor air (cooling it down) to the outside.

Unfortunately, an AC’s copper refrigerant lines can develop leaks, and when that happens an air conditioner will be in all sorts of trouble, both short- and long-term. In this post we’re going to look at leaking refrigerant and why it’s a problem you’ll want fixed as soon as you notice it.

Does My AC Also Work as a Dehumidifier?

Monday, May 17th, 2021

High humidity is a major problem for comfort in Louisiana. When relative humidity rises above 60%, as it often does during the summer days, the heat starts to seem much worse. This is not because the temperature rises, but because high humidity traps heat in our bodies and makes it harder for us to keep cool. We need our air conditioning systems more than ever on days with both high temperatures and high humidity.

Does your home’s air conditioning system work to dehumidify the air? Yes, it does. But is your air conditioner a dehumidifier? No, it’s not. We’ll explain more below and offer you a way to get real dehumidification power in your house when you need it.
