Need your AC repaired or a new system installed in Friendswood? Start with the HVAC contractors listed below. Compare their ratings, then request a quote from any listing using the quote form. A short checklist makes the quotes easier to line up.
Check the state license first. Texas requires a license from the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation (TDLR) for contractors who install, repair or maintain air conditioning, heating or refrigeration systems. Ask for the ACR license number and look it up on the TDLR License Search, then make sure the name matches the company on your quote.
Ask about the city process next. Friendswood's building inspection staff list mechanical inspections among the inspections they perform, and the list of required inspections comes with the permit when it's issued. The city says plan review normally takes an average of 5 to 7 working days, so ask your contractor how that fits the install date, especially if you're without cooling.
Finally, efficiency. Since January 1, 2023, a new split-system central AC installed in Texas must meet at least 14.3 SEER2, or 13.8 SEER2 for larger units. Ask for the model and rating in writing.
Phone numbers show on Pro and Premier listings only. Listings may show Google ratings, labeled as Google; reviews here are labeled "Homeowner review" and come only through a review link sent after a quote request.
