AC repair in Highland Village

Texas requires a TDLR license to install, repair or maintain air conditioning and heating; look up the contractor and technician on TDLR's License Data Search. The city's contractor registration form includes mechanical (HVAC) contractors. State law has barred cities from charging TDLR-licensed HVAC contractors registration fees since September 1, 2021, though permit fees still apply, so ask the city what its registration involves (TDLR FAQ). Mechanical permits go through the city's permit portal.

The technician at your house must be registered with TDLR and work under the licensed contractor's supervision; a registered technician may not advertise HVAC services alone. Texas rules also bar licensees from misrepresenting the need for a repair, so ask to see the failed part and the reading behind the diagnosis.

HomeGuide's 2025 national averages: $150 to $650 for an AC repair and $5,000 to $8,300 to replace a standard-efficiency central system (repair, replacement). Split systems installed in Texas since January 1, 2023 must meet at least 14.3 SEER2 under 45,000 Btu/h (federal rule).
