Texas HVAC Workers' Comp for Texas contractors
Texas HVAC contractors — from residential service technicians to large commercial mechanical crews — need WC rated for the real exposures in the trade: ladder and rooftop work, electrical hazards, refrigerant handling, and heavy equipment. We write HVAC WC with class codes that fit your specific work.
What it covers
- Medical and disability benefits for HVAC worker injuries
- Class codes for residential HVAC, commercial mechanical, and sheet metal
- Ladder, rooftop, and height-work injury coverage
- Electrical hazard and refrigerant exposure claims
- Certificates fast for Texas GC and permit requirements
- Multi-trade programs for HVAC contractors who also do plumbing or electrical
Who it's for
- Texas residential HVAC contractors and service companies
- Commercial mechanical and sheet metal contractors
- HVAC installers working new construction and remodel projects
- HVAC companies whose current WC rates seem too high for the work they do
Why CCA
- HVAC-specific class codes — residential service tech vs. commercial mechanical are different rates
- Multi-trade programs when your crews do more than just HVAC
- Fast certificates for HVAC contractors whose GC just asked for proof of WC

A Texas non-subscriber has opted out of the state WC system. Non-subscribers can design private benefit plans but lose standard employer negligence defenses. Employees can sue without the 'course and scope' burden.
Carriers audit actual payroll by class code at year-end. Wrong codes get corrected, and you owe additional premium if your work was higher-rated than your original estimate. Correct codes from day one prevent audit surprises.
Texas law doesn't require it, but most GC contracts do. We structure WC programs with subcontractor documentation so your payroll doesn't include uninsured sub workers at audit.
