Frequently Asked Questions
- What type of HVAC pads are required for Dallas, TX commercial buildings?
- Commercial buildings in Dallas, TX typically need reinforced concrete pads 4-6 inches thick for ground-level HVAC units, with proper drainage slopes and vibration isolation. Dallas-Fort Worth's intense summer heat means HVAC systems run heavily, so pads must support constant operation and condensate drainage. Rooftop applications in North Texas also require structural coordination to ensure building framing can support equipment weight.
- How do you prevent HVAC equipment settling in Dallas clay soil in Dallas, TX?
- Preventing HVAC equipment settling in Dallas, TX requires proper base preparation including 4-6 inches of compacted crushed stone and reinforced concrete pads. The Dallas-Fort Worth area's expansive clay soil can cause significant movement, so we ensure adequate base support and sometimes recommend deeper footings for larger equipment. Regular inspections help identify early settlement before equipment operation is affected.
