Ranges reflect base only for commercial mechanical roles; total comp typically adds 10–25% via bonus, vehicle allowance, and benefits.
Texas requires an Air Conditioning and Refrigeration (ACR) contractor license through TDLR at the company level; supervisory field roles often carry ACR Technician registration.
