What Shreveport's climate does to appliances
Shreveport averages a July high near 94°F and a January low around 37°F (NOAA 1991–2020 normals, Shreveport station, 3 mi away). With 5 months averaging 80°F or hotter, refrigerators and freezers run long compressor cycles for much of the year — which is why cooling faults, worn door gaskets and overworked condenser fans lead our call volume here. Shreveport also receives roughly 51.4" of precipitation a year — humid air makes dryers work harder and encourages musty washer drums.

Shreveport homes and the appliances in them
About 25.9% of Shreveport homes predate 1960 (US Census ACS 5-year), so a meaningful share of calls involve older kitchens — dated outlets, narrower appliance openings and aging shutoff valves. At a median home value of $178,100, the repair-versus-replace maths matters here: we give an upfront price first, and will say plainly when a unit is not worth fixing.
