Caddo Parish Heating & Cooling Services

The Caddo Parish climate record

Climate on this page is not a national average wearing a county's name. It is the specific record at SHREVEPORT, LA US: 66.6 degrees as the average temperature, 51.43 inches of precipitation, 98.5 hot days and 29.5 freezing nights in the average year, 2,068 heating degree days against 2,676 cooling degree days. Caddo Parish — 880 square miles, 24 ZIP codes, 5 listed communities — lives inside that record, and its heating and cooling systems are sized, serviced and replaced inside it too.

Position sharpens Caddo Parish's moisture problem. The county lies north of the Shreveport metro's centre, roughly 12 miles from the metro's centre, and the air that reaches its far edge has crossed the whole Shreveport metro before it arrives — carrying the season's humidity into 880 square miles of homes whose systems must wring it out again, through 98.5 hot days a year. Neighbouring ground — Bossier Parish, De Soto Parish are among the counties around it — reads the same record; the wringing, house by house, is local.

Distance is the county fact the climate table leaves out. Caddo Parish's centroid lies north of the Shreveport metro's centre, roughly 12 miles from the centre it is measured against, and that distance is travelled on every call routed here — out through the metro's nearer counties and into this one's 24 ZIP codes. Local knowledge in a county like this is partly a map held in the head: which roads, which communities, which end of the county a call is coming from.

Count the coverage from the codes upward: 71004, 71007 and 71009 are the first codes on Caddo Parish's list of 24, spread across its 880 square miles in Louisiana. No two of those codes hold quite the same housing — one may be a settled community's streets, the next newer subdivisions, the next open county ground — so the same climate record produces a different run of calls inside each. The full list is printed on this page; the diary is written code by code.

Read the map around Caddo Parish and a working region appears: Bossier Parish, De Soto Parish are the neighbouring names at the head of its list of 2, and together these counties form the ground a local technician actually covers. The county line decides which page describes a home; it does not decide the weather the home's system faces, the decade its street was built in, or the season its diary fills. Those are regional — and the region, on this site, is a set of county pages that link to one another, as the cards below do.

The county's year divides by load. At one end, 98.5 days at 90 degrees or above pull the cooling season into its long peak; at the other, 29.5 nights at or below freezing do the same for heating; between them sit the shoulder weeks when neither plant runs hard. An average temperature of 66.6 degrees at SHREVEPORT, LA US is what those two ends average out to, and 51.43 inches of precipitation spread across the year decide how much of the cooling season is also a moisture season. Caddo Parish's households plan around that division — service ahead of the taller peak, filters and checks in the shoulders — whether they name it or not.

Communities and housing in Caddo Parish

Communities across Caddo Parish include Shreveport, Blanchard, Greenwood and Vivian — 5 listed places in all, spread over the county's 880 square miles in Louisiana. Each community's housing was built in its own decades, so the heating and cooling diary reads differently from one name on that list to the next: older systems and original ductwork in the long-settled places, matched fleets ageing together in the subdivisions, and additions and conversions in the communities still growing at the county's edges.

Census figures give Caddo Parish's heating and cooling its proportions. The metro it belongs to counts 181,250 housing units across 154,871 households, 63.4% of them owner-occupied, and the era mix runs 19.3% before 1960, 31.6% from 1960 to 1979, 24.5% from 1980 to 1999 and 24.6% since 2000. A county inside that metro inherits the mix in its own proportions — which is why two homes on the same Caddo Parish street, built forty years apart, can need entirely different conversations from the same technician.

The county is worth a page of its own because its facts do not reduce to its metro's. The Shreveport metro supplies the climate station and the housing profile, but Caddo Parish supplies everything at ground level: 880 square miles, its own communities and codes, its own neighbours — Bossier Parish, De Soto Parish among the 2 on its list — and its own position, north of the Shreveport metro's centre. The metro page and this page link to each other because neither half of that picture stands well without the other.

Our role in Caddo Parish, stated plainly

TempReach USA is not an HVAC company. We employ no heating or cooling technicians, we run no service trucks, and we do not carry out HVAC work of any kind. This website and its call center exist for one purpose: to connect homeowners with independent local heating and cooling professionals who serve their area. When you call the number on this site, your call is routed to such a professional. From that point, everything about the job belongs to that professional and to you: the assessment, the work itself, the scheduling, what you are charged, and the terms of any agreement you reach. The professional who takes your job is solely responsible for it. The technician who arrives at your home runs their own business; they are not an employee, agent or subcontractor of TempReach USA. Our part is the information on these pages — assembled from Census Bureau housing data and NOAA climate records for each metro — and the routing of your call. We state this plainly on purpose: you should know exactly who you are hiring before anyone picks up a wrench or a gauge.
