Local rules to know
In Texas, licenses for air conditioning and refrigeration contractors come from TDLR, and you can look up a license online. If your system uses gas, Atmos Energy handles service to the meter. If you smell gas, leave the house and call them from outside.
Who runs what: Garland Water Utilities for water, Garland's Rowlett Creek and Duck Creek wastewater plants for wastewater and the City of Garland Building Inspection department for permits. Electricity here comes from Garland Power and Light, the city's own electric utility, and gas from Atmos Energy. Garland is the third largest city in Dallas County. Downtown Garland is centered on a historic square.
Know your Garland house
Spring storms bring hail and high winds. An EF4 tornado struck Garland and Rowlett on December 26, 2015.
Firewheel Town Center is a large outdoor mall in north Garland. Many mid-century homes have ducts in a crawl space or attic that were never sealed, and leaks there waste a lot of heated or cooled air. Duck Creek runs through the middle of the city.
Winters are mild but do bring cold snaps, and many homes rely on heat pumps that need their backup heat working. Clay soil and dry summers can crack slabs and break buried lines.
Before the visit
Clear a path to the equipment and the outdoor unit so the tech can get to work right away.
Have a rough idea of the age of the equipment or fixture involved.

Common questions
What is a heat pump?
It moves heat instead of making it, heating in winter and cooling in summer. Modern cold-climate models work well even in freezing weather.
How often should I change the filter?
Every one to three months for most homes, more often with pets or allergies. A clogged filter strains the system.
Any Garland details worth mentioning when I call?
Garland Power and Light, owned by the city, supplies electricity. Lake Ray Hubbard forms the city's eastern edge. Much of the housing was built from the 1960s to the 1980s. It helps to say roughly when your home was built.

Does HVAC service in Garland need a permit?
Some jobs do and many small repairs don't. In Garland, permits are handled by the City of Garland Building Inspection department, and the heating and cooling company can tell you if your job needs one.
If the problem changes before the visit, mention it when the pro reaches out.
