About
About Shreveport-Bossier AC
Shreveport-Bossier AC is an independent referral service for homeowners in Shreveport, Bossier City and the rest of Caddo and Bossier Parish. We publish plain guides to what AC problems usually are, what repairs cost, what the two cities require before the work starts and how to check a contractor's Louisiana license, and we will match homeowners with independent local air conditioning contractors.
What we are, and are not
We are not an air conditioning company. We do not perform air conditioning, heating or refrigeration work, we do not employ technicians, and we do not hold a Louisiana contractor license or a Shreveport or Bossier City contractor registration. When matching opens, a request you send goes to an independent, third-party contractor, who contacts you and quotes the job. Your agreement is with that contractor. Ask for their license number and look it up with the State Licensing Board for Contractors before work starts.
How the guides are put together
- Rules come from the agency that sets them Licensing and permit statements were read from the Louisiana licensing statute and rules book, the City of Shreveport’s own permit documents and Bossier City’s mechanical permit pages, not from blogs or permit-lookup sites.
- Every price names its source and date Repair and replacement ranges are national cost-guide figures and are labelled national. The only local figures are the two cities’ published permit and registration fees.
- Pages are dated Each guide shows when it was published and lists what was read and when. Prices are rechecked at least every six months.
- No invented reviews or claims There are no testimonials, ratings or “years in business” on this site, because there is nothing true to put there.
What was read
State and city documents behind the rules pages, each read directly on the agency's own site:
- Louisiana State Licensing Board for Contractors, Contractors Licensing Law (La. R.S. Title 37) and Rules, effective August 1, 2026
- LSLBC, Types of Licenses
- LSLBC, Contractor Search
- City of Shreveport, Permits & Inspections
- City of Shreveport, “Your Guide to Building Permits & Inspections and the Metropolitan Planning Commission” (2026)
- City of Shreveport, “Permit Request for HVAC Permit” form
- City of Shreveport, Contractor’s Registration
- Bossier City, Mechanical Permits & Registration
- Bossier City, “Mechanical Permit fees”

Price sources:
- HomeGuide, “How Much Does AC Repair Cost? (2026)” (national figures)
- HomeGuide, “How Much Does a New HVAC System Cost to Install or Replace? (2026)” (national figures)
What was not read
- Permit rules and fees for unincorporated Caddo or Bossier Parish, Benton, Haughton, Blanchard or Keithville.
- Any Shreveport or Bossier City air conditioning company's price list. We found none published, so our price ranges are national.
- Louisiana's call-recording consent statute, and Louisiana rules on who is responsible for AC repairs in a rental home.
- Local climate records. The humidity guide relies on the EPA's national moisture guidance, not Shreveport weather data.
The contractor who looks at your system prices the job, and the City, the parish or the State has the last word on the rules. If a page here disagrees with any of them, tell us at privacy@shreveportbossierac.com and we will correct it.
