Heating and cooling in Irving
One line in Irving's fee schedule covers this work: item 15, "Mechanical single trade: Heating, air conditioning installations or replacements, and related work," at $65, with each multifamily unit counted as a separate permit. The header over the schedule reads "Fees effective Oct. 1, 2022," and some other rows are marked updated Oct. 1, 2026. The $65 row carries no such mark and the fee page's date for that row is not certain, so confirm the amount with the office.
Irving Inspections is at City Hall, 825 W. Irving Blvd., 2nd Floor, open weekdays 8 to 5, at (972) 721-2371. Permits go through the MGO online portal. The residential guidelines list Mechanical/HVAC among the work that needs no plans. Owners doing the work personally need a homestead exemption on file with the Dallas Central Appraisal District before applying. For a contractor, the city says mechanical contractors must hold a state license and that it verifies licensing with the State of Texas on every building permit application.
Irving's menu lists proposed ordinances for adopting the 2024 International Codes, and the page doesn't say which edition is in force today. The Census Bureau puts Irving's median year built at 1986 (2020 to 2024 estimates). Choose between pulling the permit yourself on a homestead and leaving it to a mechanical contractor with a state license.
What heating and cooling work costs near Irving
Nobody's given us a quote for work in Irving yet, so this page can't show a city price. The Texas page lists the estimates with what technicians earn (the Texas mean in May 2025 BLS wage data is $28.43 an hour, which is their pay, not your price) and some city permit fees. How we estimate costs.
Permits for heating and cooling work in Irving
Texas cities issue the permit for replacing a furnace, air conditioner or heat pump, and each city sets its own fee; the ones cited on our Texas page all require one. TDLR licenses the air conditioning and refrigeration contractor, so ask for that license number as well as what your city's permit office needs.
