Pay Per Lead Services in Harris County, TX for HVAC & Air Conditioning Companies

In Harris County the cooling season barely has an edge. The National Weather Service's summary of 2023 makes the point: the City of Houston averaged 72.6F across the whole year, the warmest on record, and reached 109F on both August 24 and August 27. (Source: weather.gov.) In heat like that, with Gulf humidity on top, a failed system in a Harris County home is a same-hour call, and the household phones companies down a list until one answers.

Humidity is half the job

Cooling here is as much about pulling water out of the air as about lowering the temperature. That is why so many Harris County leads are not "no cold air" but "the house feels damp", "there is water by the air handler" or "the vents smell musty". Those calls point to oversized units, clogged condensate lines and leaky attic ducts, and they turn into dehumidifier, duct and replacement work as often as a simple repair. Harris County's median house went up in 1988 (Source: data.census.gov), and many homes in Pasadena, Humble, Katy and the older parts of Houston are on equipment and ductwork that has outlived its design.

The winter that rewrote the plan

Heating calls in Harris County are usually light. February 2021 was the exception: the City of Houston fell to 13F on February 16, the local office issued its first Wind Chill Warning ever, and it forecast power outages lasting days. (Source: weather.gov.) Heat pumps and strip heat that rarely work hard were suddenly the only thing standing between families and burst pipes. A good campaign here keeps a heating budget in reserve for that week, even if it is not needed most winters.

After the water goes down

The Flood Control District says a major flood happens somewhere in the county about every two years, and Tropical Storm Allison in 2001 damaged 73,000 homes. (Source: hcfcd.org.) After a flood, outdoor condensers and garage air handlers that sat in water are replacement jobs, often insurance-funded and arriving in a cluster from one or two watersheds. We route those to companies ready to handle claim paperwork.

Who can take the work

Texas licenses HVAC contractors through TDLR (Source: tdlr.texas.gov), and the City of Houston will only issue an air conditioning trade permit to a contractor holding a TDLR type A or B licence and registered with the city. (Source: houstonpermittingcenter.org.) Unincorporated Harris County and the other cities keep their own rules, so we match leads to where you are registered.

What we filter: tenants in the 45.3% of homes that are rented who cannot approve a replacement, commercial chiller work for office and industrial sites when you do residential, and manufacturer-warranty disputes over equipment you have never serviced.

The Texas rule for a HVAC company taking leads in Harris County: Air conditioning and refrigeration contractors are licensed by the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation (TDLR): contractors who install, repair or maintain air conditioning, refrigeration or heating systems must have a TDLR licence, and ACR companies must employ an ACR contractor in each permanent location (Source: tdlr.texas.gov).

Harris County, for a HVAC company working these leads: City of Houston (the county seat): the Houston Permitting Center states that "The City does not license or register general contractors"; a building permit can be bought by an owner, agent or contractor, but trade permits need a licensed contractor registered with the City of Houston: master electrician (TDLR licence), air conditioning contractor (TDLR type A or B licence) and master plumber (Texas State Board of Plumbing Examiners licence); Source is the Houston Permitting Center's November 19, 2024 permits workshop deck; unincorporated Harris County and other cities in the county have their own rules (Source: houstonpermittingcenter.org).

Worth knowing as a HVAC company buying leads in Harris County: Texas telephone solicitation registration: a seller must file a registration statement with the Texas Secretary of State and pay the filing fee (unless an exemption applies), the certificate of registration is effective for one year and can be renewed, and the Texas Attorney General is charged with enforcing the registration requirements (Source: sos.texas.gov).
