Getting to You
One thing that helps: give us the street address when you call, not just the town. A lot of homes around Blanchard have a 71107 ZIP, the same one north Shreveport uses, and plenty of others carry the town's own 71009. The street is what gets the tech to the right driveway.
Houses From the Growth Years
Blanchard has grown quickly over the past few decades, so homes there range from older houses to new builds. For HVAC work, the year a house was built tells you a lot about what to expect.
- Built in the 1990s or early 2000s. If the original system is still running, it's somewhere between 20 and 30 years old. Many of these units were made for R-22 refrigerant, which is no longer produced, so a leak on one of them can turn into a replacement conversation.
- Built around 2010. These are about the age when compressors and blower motors start to wear out. A yearly tune-up and a good look at the capacitor will usually tell you how much life is left.
- Built in the last few years. Blanchard has newer subdivisions as well as older homes. A young system still needs a clean filter, a clear drain line and a yearly check.
If yours is in that first group and keeps needing repairs, we'll tell you honestly when it makes more sense to replace the AC than to keep fixing it. The estimate is free.
Pine Pollen and Your Outdoor Unit
Every spring, the pines around here leave a yellow film on cars, porches and the top of every AC condenser. That same pollen gets pulled into the outdoor coil's fins and into the return filter inside.
A clogged coil can't get rid of heat, so the system runs longer, the power bill goes up, and the compressor runs hotter than it should. Here's what helps:
- Check the filter every month from March through May, not every three months, and use our filter size and rating guide if you're unsure what to buy.
- Hose the outdoor coil gently from the inside out once the pollen settles. Never use a pressure washer, because it flattens the fins.
- Book the spring AC tune-up after the pollen, not before. We clean the condenser as part of the visit.
AC Repair in Blanchard When It's Hot
On a July afternoon, a dead AC can push a house past 85 degrees in a few hours. We answer the phone at any hour. Most summer calls here are the usual suspects: a failed capacitor, a tripped float switch from a clogged drain, a refrigerant leak, or a condenser so packed with pollen and grass that it overheats.
The $99 diagnosis finds the cause, and we'll tell you what we find and what the repair costs. If the AC is frozen solid when you find it, switch it off and let it thaw before we get there, because running it iced up can ruin the compressor. Fixing a frozen coil is a regular part of our AC repair work.
Heating in Blanchard
Inside town, many homes heat with natural gas, and plenty of the newer all-electric houses use a heat pump with electric heat strips as backup. Out on country roads past the gas lines, propane furnaces are common.
Whatever you have, we repair it. A gas furnace that won't light, a heat pump that blows cool air on a 30-degree morning, and heat strips that run the power bill sky high are the calls we see most from November to February. If you're not sure which kind of system you have, the heating and furnace repair page shows how to tell. A heating check in October heads off most of those calls.
Bigger Lots, Shops and Garages
Lots out this way tend to be bigger than in town, and a lot of homes have a detached shop, a workshop or a garage someone actually works in. Running ducts out to a separate building rarely makes sense. A ductless mini-split heats and cools it with just a small line set through the wall, and it works for a room over the garage that never stays comfortable, too.
Signs Your System Needs a Look
- The AC runs all afternoon and never gets the house below 78
- Water around the indoor unit, or a wet ceiling stain under the attic unit
- The outdoor fan isn't spinning, or the unit hums without starting
- A burning or musty smell from the vents
- The power bill jumps with no change in the weather
Calling early is cheaper. A weak capacitor caught in May costs a fraction of the compressor it can take down with it in August.
What We Do Out Here
In Blanchard we handle everything from emergency AC repair at night to new Trane and Mitsubishi systems, heat pump repair and replacement, air duct cleaning and indoor air quality upgrades like UV lights. If the system is past saving, HVAC financing (subject to credit approval) and SWEPCO incentives of up to $3,500 for a qualifying unit, subject to SWEPCO program rules and funding (the 2026 program year ends November 27, 2026, or sooner if funds run out), can take some of the sting out of a new one.
Blanchard HVAC Questions
Do you charge more to come out to Blanchard?
No. There's no extra charge for distance. The $99 service call is the same in Blanchard as it is in Bossier City.
How soon can a tech get to Blanchard?
That depends on the day's schedule. Call (318) 459-7575 at any hour, and we'll tell you on that call when a tech can reach Blanchard, then call or text when the tech is on the way.
My house was built around 2000. Should I replace the AC before it dies?
Not just because of its age. If it cools well, hasn't needed major repairs and isn't leaking refrigerant, keep it and maintain it. If it uses R-22 and needs refrigerant, or a big repair is coming, get a free replacement estimate so you can compare both numbers.
Do you work on propane furnaces?
Yes. We work on gas, propane and electric furnaces, as well as heat pumps, for any brand.
Can you put a mini-split in my shop?
Yes. A ductless mini-split is usually the simplest way to heat and cool a shop or detached garage. We'll look at the size of the building and the insulation and quote it for free.
