Licensed work is the law.
In Texas, HVAC and electrical contracting are regulated trades. Air conditioning and refrigeration work must be performed under a TDLR-licensed Air Conditioning & Refrigeration Contractor, and electrical work under a licensed Electrical Contractor. A company that can’t produce a license number for each trade it sells isn’t offering you a discount — it’s offering you unpermitted work that surfaces at inspection, at resale, or in an insurance claim.
The license class matters too. Our mechanical license is Class A — the TDLR classification with no equipment size limit — which is why the same company that services a 3-ton residential condenser can also contract the packaged equipment on a commercial rooftop or an institutional campus. Our electrical license covers the full scope our projects touch: service upgrades, panels, EV charging circuits, and the interconnection work behind every solar and battery installation we commission.
Holding both licenses under one company is the structural point of Phanton Mechanical. Cross-trade projects — a heat pump conversion that needs panel capacity, a tenant finish-out with mechanical and electrical scope, a solar array that ends at your main service panel — run under one contract and one accountable team instead of two subcontractors negotiating blame. Every claim on this page is checkable in about a minute at tdlr.texas.gov, and we would rather you check than take our word for it.
Checking Credentials.
How do I verify a contractor’s license in Texas?
Go to the TDLR license search at tdlr.texas.gov/LicenseSearch, choose the license type (Air Conditioning & Refrigeration Contractor for HVAC, Electrical Contractor for electrical), and enter the license number or business name. The record shows the license status, expiration, and the business it belongs to. Ours are TACLA124868E and TECL39666 — check them before you check anyone else’s.
What does a Class A mechanical license mean?
TDLR issues Air Conditioning & Refrigeration Contractor licenses in two classes. A Class B license is limited to smaller equipment — cooling systems of 25 tons or less and heating of 1.5 million BTU/hr or less. A Class A license, which Phanton Mechanical holds, has no equipment size limit, which is what commercial and institutional work requires.
Why does it matter that one company holds both licenses?
Because most real projects cross trades. A system replacement that needs a new circuit, a solar install with panel work, or a tenant finish-out with mechanical and electrical scope normally means two contractors, two permits, and a coordination gap. With both licenses under one company, it is one contract, one schedule, and one team accountable at inspection.
Does solar installation require a license in Texas?
Texas has no standalone statewide "solar license" — but the electrical work in a solar or battery installation must be performed under a licensed electrical contractor, and that is where unlicensed solar crews cut the corner. Our installs run under our own TECL39666 electrical license, with Enphase Certified Installer, PVOL101, and IREC training credentials on the design side.
