Who is qualified to do central air repair in Texas?
Texas requires an Air Conditioning and Refrigeration Contractor License for HVAC contractors; the application fee is $115. Technicians who assist with repair work must register with the state, and registered and certified technicians must work under a licensed contractor. Ask the pro for proof of license and insurance.
How long does central air repair or replacement take?
Most repairs are straightforward, but full central air installations can take one to two days when ductwork changes are involved. Homes with existing ductwork are faster and simpler to service than homes needing new ducts. Ask the contractor for a timeline in your quote.
What if I need full central air replacement instead of repair?
A standard central air installation without ductwork runs about $3,000-$7,000, and roughly $7,000-$15,000 if ductwork is needed. Texas replacement estimates range from about $3,900-$9,100 up to $7,000-$15,000 depending on scope. Compare repair and replacement quotes before deciding.
