One Truck Roll
Most Houston HVAC companies can't legally touch your panel. Avatex holds the HVAC license (TACLA #89729C), the electrical contractor license (TECL #34162), and a Texas Master Electrician (#535138) — so the jobs that need both trades get one crew, one permit trip, and no subcontractor markup.
These pairings are where HVAC-only companies stall, subcontract, or surprise you on install day — and where a multi-trade crew quotes the whole scope up front.
Circuit capacity check, breaker or panel upgrade the new equipment needs
Modern condensers and air handlers change your home's biggest electrical load. HVAC-only companies discover a marginal panel on install day and subcontract the fix — we quote both up front.
Transfer switch, dedicated circuits, gas coordination, permit, and HOA screening plan
A generator that can't carry your cooling load is a very expensive flashlight. We size from your actual equipment and wire it as licensed electrical contractors.
Whole-house surge protection at the panel ($300–600 installed)
New HVAC is more electronics than iron. One voltage event can take out a $1,500 control board — the panel SPD protects it and everything else in the house.
The dedicated circuit and disconnect every outdoor unit requires
Every mini-split needs its own circuit. One crew runs the line set and the wire in the same visit.
Aluminum-wiring remediation, FPE/Zinsco panel replacement, code corrections
In Scenic Woods, Oak Forest, or Cypresswood-era homes, the wiring is often the real project. Our Master Electrician inspects before the new equipment goes in — not after something fails.
Load calculation, 40–60A charging circuit, panel headroom verification
Both projects compete for the same panel capacity. Planning them together avoids paying for two separate service upgrades.

Scope, accountability, and price. An HVAC-only company must subcontract electrical work — you pay their markup, coordinate two schedules, and nobody owns the whole job. Avatex holds TACLA #89729C and TECL #34162 with a Master Electrician (#535138) on staff, so one crew quotes, permits, and warranties the entire scope.
Yes. We pull the mechanical permit under our HVAC license and the electrical permit under our electrical license — City of Houston inside the limits, or the correct county or city office elsewhere in Greater Houston.
No bundling required — most of our calls are single-trade. The point is that when a job genuinely needs both trades, you don't need a second company, a second markup, or a second permit trip.
Yes — it's the smartest first step in older homes. One visit covers equipment condition, duct and insulation reality, panel and branch-circuit safety, and what (if anything) is actually worth doing. No-pressure is the house rule.
