About this listing
Coastal Bend Appliance is listed in Port Aransas, TX, and holds Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation contractor licence #44249, current to 03/12/2027. Licensing for air conditioning and refrigeration work in Texas falls under Occupations Code Chapter 1302, which requires contractors to hold a licence before carrying out this work. New split-system air conditioners installed anywhere in Texas must meet a minimum of 14.3 SEER2 under the federal South-region standard — worth knowing when you compare quotes, since a cheaper unit that falls below it cannot lawfully be installed here.

How to check this licence yourself
Don't take our word for it — Texas publishes this for free, and it takes about a minute:
- Open the TDLR licence search.
- Search licence number 44249, or the business name Coastal Bend Appliance.
- Check the status reads active and the expiry is in the future — ours shows 03/12/2027.
- Ask to see proof of liability insurance too. TDLR licensing does not cover that, and we cannot verify it.
A licence means the state has certified the holder to do this work. It is not a guarantee of workmanship, price or availability — see our contractor hiring checklist for what else to ask.
