Vidor, Texas
AC repair in Vidor, Texas
Vidor sits east of the Neches River in Orange County, with its own city hall and its own paperwork for contractors.
What HVAC contractors give the city
A City of Vidor sheet on permits and contractor requirements lists what plumbing, electrical and HVAC contractors provide: a copy of their state license, their driver's license, and a general liability insurance certificate naming the City of Vidor as certificate holder.
The same sheet says that when a homeowner hires a contractor, the contractor must obtain the permit. Homeowners may pull permits only for repairs they do themselves.
Flood-damaged homes
That city sheet was written after flooding, and it says permits are required for any and all repairs to flood-damaged homes in Vidor. It also tied permits in some flood zones to moisture readings and elevation certificates.
If floodwater reached the condenser, a garage furnace or the ductwork, the CDC advises having the system checked and cleaned before turning it on, and an electrician checking the wiring before power is restored.
Electric utility
Entergy Texas lists Orange County among the counties it serves. Check your bill, since some rural areas may be served by others.
