Addison FAQ

Does a straightforward AC replacement need a permit?+

It depends on the specific city and the scope of the replacement. A true like-for-like swap is sometimes treated more simply than a full system change, but this varies enough by jurisdiction that it's worth confirming directly for your specific address rather than assuming based on what a neighbor's contractor did.

What happens if HVAC work was done without a required permit?+

It can create complications later, particularly around home insurance claims related to that system, and can surface as an issue during a home inspection when selling. It's generally worth having unpermitted major work reviewed rather than assuming it's fine simply because the system has run without issue.

Do you see this issue often in Addison?+

It comes up regularly across our Addison service calls, alongside the rest of Carrollton-Farmers Branch ISD and Dallas ISD. Call (817) 935-8540 if you'd like us to take a look at your specific system.
