Frequently asked questions

What certifications are required?

EPA 608 Universal is standard. NATE, factory training (Trane, Carrier, Daikin, York), and chiller / VRF experience are strong differentiators.

Commercial only or residential too?

We focus exclusively on commercial mechanical service — chillers, boilers, AHUs, RTUs, VRF, and controls — not residential HVAC.

Is overtime typical?

Yes — most Dallas service roles include paid overtime, on-call rotation, take-home truck, and full tool allowance.

Is a Texas ACR license required to work in commercial HVAC in Dallas?

The Texas Air Conditioning and Refrigeration (ACR) contractor license is required at the contractor level, not for individual PMs or estimators. Field techs benefit from ACR Technician registration; supervisory field roles often require it.
