Common HVAC Services Scams in Laguna Park

Be aware of these tactic used by unlicensed operators

🚫

Unnecessary Full Replacement

After a 'free tune-up,' they claim your whole HVAC system must be replaced now—often when a $200 part or repair would fix it.

🚫

Refrigerant Recharge Rip-Off

They top off your AC freon (illegal without license), ignore the leak, and you're back in a month paying again.

🚫

Bait-and-Switch Pricing

Ultra-low phone quote, then onsite: 'Oh, hidden damage—double the price!' No prior written estimate.

🚫

Phantom Vent Cleaning

Sell useless 'deep cleans' or add-ons claiming dirty ducts cause illness—no real inspection.

How to Verify a Professional

Insurance

Request a Certificate of Insurance (COI) showing general liability (at least $500K) and workers' comp. Call the listed insurer and policy number directly to verify it's current and active—no legit pro minds this.

Licensing

Texas requires HVAC contractors to hold an active license from the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation (TDLR). Use their free online lookup at tdlr.texas.gov/LicenseSearch/—enter the contractor's name or license number to confirm status, expiration, and complaints.

References

Insist on 3-5 recent references from Laguna Park or Bosque County jobs. Call each one: Ask about work quality, arrival time, cleanup, and if they'd rehire. Vague or unavailable refs? Walk away.

How do I verify an HVAC license in Laguna Park, TX?

Only a small deposit (under 10%) to verified pros. Full payment after satisfactory completion and walkthrough.
