How often should commercial rooftop units be serviced in Houston, TX?
Commercial rooftop units in Houston, TX should typically receive preventive maintenance twice annually - once in spring before the cooling season and once in fall before heating demands increase. This schedule helps ensure optimal performance during Houston's hot summers and mild winters, catching potential issues before they cause system failures.
What permits are required for rooftop unit work in Houston, TX?
Depending on the scope of work, you may need mechanical permits from the City of Houston or local jurisdiction. Our technicians are familiar with Houston permitting requirements and can guide you through the process. For simple repairs, permits are often not required, but any modifications to refrigerant lines or electrical work typically need approval from the appropriate authorities in Houston, TX.

This includes equipment delivery, old unit removal, new unit installation, electrical connections, and initial testing.
