Richardson homes, up close

Richardson spans Dallas and Collin counties. Breckinridge Park is on the northeast side.

Cottonwood Park hosts the Cottonwood Art Festival. Original ductwork in mid-century houses tends to leak at the joints. Sealing it can make a noticeable difference in comfort. Spring storms bring hail.

Long, hot summers mean the AC carries the load for months, and a spring checkup helps avoid a July breakdown. Many homes are mid-century ranch houses from the 1950s and 1960s.

Local rules

In Texas, licenses for air conditioning and refrigeration contractors come from TDLR, and you can look up a license online. Replacing a furnace, boiler or condenser usually needs a permit from the City of Richardson Building Inspection department, and the contractor normally handles it.

Richardson buys treated water from the North Texas Municipal Water District. DART's Red and Orange lines have four stations in Richardson. Wastewater from homes here goes to the city's sewer system, with treatment by the North Texas Municipal Water District, and permits run through the City of Richardson Building Inspection department. Older homes may still have original cast iron drain lines.
