Does Maintenance Agreement work on an AC system qualify for a lien?

TexasMechanics Lien

We do things like clean coils, change filters, belts, etc. under annual maintenance agreements for Commercial HVAC systems. If they do not pay for this work, can we file a lien? Thank you, Colbie

Typically, no. Maintenance does not qualify as suitable work to support a mechanic's lien. A replacement of the HVAC unit could support a mechanic's lien.

Retain a construction attorney to evaluate your situation and to provide advice.

Good luck.
