FAQ
Is HVAC work in Texas licensed?
Yes. The Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation (TDLR) licenses Air Conditioning and Refrigeration Contractors. Any company performing HVAC work for compensation must hold an Active TDLR license, and most cities require permits and inspections for replacements.
What does a new central AC cost installed in Texas?
$7,500–$11,000 for a typical 3-ton SEER2 15–16 split system in 2026. Variable-speed and high-SEER systems run higher. Coastal markets add corrosion-coating costs.
How long should a Texas AC system last?
10–15 years is typical. Coastal humidity, hard water, and long cooling seasons shorten that compared to milder climates. Heat pumps tend to wear faster because they work year-round.
