Published November 11, 2026 · Figures and rules checked against the sources listed at the end of this page.

Six checks for any AC company

  1. State license. Ask for the Louisiana contractor license number and look it up with the state board.
  2. City registration. Shreveport and Bossier City each register air conditioning and heating contractors. Ask which one the company holds for your address.
  3. Written price. Diagnostic fee, part, labor and any after-hours charge as separate lines. Compare with the repair cost ranges.
  4. Diagnostic fee. $75 to $200 is the national range. Ask whether it is credited toward the repair.
  5. Warranty. What covers the part, what covers the labor, and for how long.
  6. Permit. For a replacement, ask who pulls the mechanical permit. The permit guide has both cities’ rules.

Red flags

  • No license number or city registration offered when you ask, or a number that does not match the company in the state board’s search.
  • A refrigerant “top-up” with no mention of finding the leak.
  • A price given only verbally, or pressure to agree to a full replacement on the first visit.
  • An equipment replacement quoted with no permit line.

Choosing an AC company: common questions

How do I choose an AC repair company in Shreveport?

Check the paperwork first, then compare written prices. Ask for the Louisiana contractor license number and look it up with the state licensing board, ask which city registration the company holds, get the diagnostic fee and the repair price in writing, and for an equipment replacement confirm who pulls the city permit.

Is this a ranking of the best AC companies in Shreveport?

No. The list on this page is unranked. It names companies that appeared in Google’s results or were advertising for AC repair in the Shreveport area on November 11, 2026, and it makes no claim about any company’s license, prices or workmanship. Use the checks above to judge any of them, or any company not listed.

How many quotes should I get?

For a small repair such as a capacitor ($100 to $250 nationally), one quote from a registered company is usually enough. For a compressor, a coil or a full replacement, get at least two written quotes that list the same equipment so you can compare them line by line.

What does Louisiana law say about bigger jobs?

Louisiana law defines a mechanical contractor by projects of “ten thousand dollars or more” ($10,000; La. R.S. 37:2150.1(16), read November 11, 2026), a figure some larger replacements reach. Separately, Shreveport and Bossier City each require a city registration for air conditioning work. For a job near that figure, ask the licensing board which rule applies.
