Pearland Housing Stock
Census figures put the median build year in Pearland at 2003, so a typical house here has about 23 years on it. Plenty of houses from this period still run original 1990s or early-2000s equipment, which is past its expected service life. Owners live in 76.6% of occupied homes, roughly 33,000 households. Homes here have a median value of $330,900 and households a median income of $112,470. Those two numbers drive the labor adjustment in our estimate.
Brazoria County had 6 hail days and 14 days with damaging thunderstorm winds from 2020 through 2025, according to NOAA storm records. The largest hail reported was 1.75 inches across. Storms here are more likely to cause power surges than coil damage, so a surge protector on the outdoor unit is worth the small cost. Brazoria County also had 4 tornado days in that period.

Texas Licensing and Efficiency Rules
Texas is in the DOE's Southeast region, where new split central air conditioners need at least 14.3 SEER2 (13.8 SEER2 for systems of 45,000 BTU/h and up). Most repairs don't need a permit. Anyone who opens the refrigerant circuit does need EPA Section 608 certification, and in Texas the company should carry a state license or registration. Ask for both.
Before You Hire
- Keep space heaters away from curtains and bedding, and never heat the house with a gas oven.
- If the CO alarm goes off, get everyone outside and call 911 or the gas company before you call an HVAC company.
- Maintenance plans often put members first in line for emergency calls.
