AC repair FAQ for Montgomery County, TX
Short answers about the referral model, TDLR licensing, costs, and the communities this site covers. None of these answers is a diagnosis or a price quote. Current license placeholder: Partner TACL license number: [TACL number TBD].
Are you an air-conditioning contractor?
No. MoCo AC Repair is a homeowner resource and referral service for Montgomery County, Texas, and nearby Spring. On-site visits and any repairs, installations, or maintenance are performed by an independent TDLR-licensed partner contractor, who has not been selected yet. We do not hold a TDLR ACR license.
Are you the company Montgomery County HVAC?
No. MoCo is a short way to say Montgomery County, Texas. This brand is not affiliated with the company that uses the name Montgomery County HVAC, which is associated with a Maryland contractor, and it is not a reference to Montgomery County, Maryland. It is also not affiliated with MoCo Plumbing.
Do you come out the same day, 24 hours a day?
We do not advertise a response time or a 24-hour dispatch service. When a partner is named, that company can describe its own hours. If anyone is in immediate danger from extreme heat or cold, or if you smell gas, contact emergency services.
Do you need a license to operate this website?
Texas Occupations Code Chapter 1302 requires a TDLR air-conditioning and refrigeration contractor license to perform or offer to perform ACR work. This site is written as a referral service that connects homeowners with an independent licensed partner, not as a company that repairs or installs systems. Once a partner is signed, advertising that solicits the work should include that partner’s TACL license number (16 TAC §75.71(h)). Until then, the license number on this site is a clearly marked placeholder.
What is a TACL number?
It is the license number of a Texas air-conditioning and refrigeration contractor, issued by the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation. License numbers take the form TACL, plus a class, a number, and an endorsement. The partner’s number will replace the placeholder on this site when a licensed contractor is named. You can also look up a license at tdlr.texas.gov.
How much does AC repair or replacement cost?
We do not set prices. Angi, Houston HVAC repair, updated May 5, 2026, reports an average of $345, with most homeowners spending $128 to $1,972. Angi, Houston HVAC replacement, updated April 23, 2026, reports an average of $7,395, with most projects between $4,930 and $12,325. Those are published typical ranges, not a quote for your house. See the cost guide for the full table and citations.
What areas do you cover?
This site is written for Montgomery County, Texas — The Woodlands, Conroe, the City of Montgomery, Willis, and Magnolia — and for Spring, just south of the county line in Harris County. A ZIP code on the request form helps confirm the home is in that area.
Is Spring in Montgomery County?
No. Spring, Texas, is a Census-designated place in Harris County, immediately south of The Woodlands and the Montgomery County line. It is included because many cooling searches cross that line. Parts of The Woodlands, including Creekside Park, are also in Harris County.
Do you repair car air conditioners?
No. This site is for home heating and cooling systems only, not vehicle air conditioning.
Is there a fee to use this site?
We do not charge homeowners a referral fee to submit the form. The partner contractor may later compensate the operator of this site for exclusive visit requests. That arrangement is described on the partner disclosure page.
Why is there no phone number yet?
The number you see, (XXX) XXX-XXXX Phone number coming soon, is a placeholder for a future tracking number. Until it is replaced, the contact form is the way to reach us. Calls to the tracking number may be recorded once it is live.
Why is there no street address?
This is not a contractor shop and we do not operate a storefront for this service. We do not list a street address in order to look like one.
Who do I complain to about a licensed contractor?
The Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation regulates licensed air-conditioning contractors. Contact TDLR at 1-800-803-9202 or 512-463-6599, or visit tdlr.texas.gov. The statutory consumer notice required on a contractor’s proposals, invoices, and contracts is also printed as a placeholder in the footer of this site.
