Why McKinney is our home market
Cinch MEP is based in McKinney. We're a TDLR-licensed Texas HVAC contractor holding a Class A combination license (environmental air & commercial refrigeration — any equipment, residential or commercial) submitting to McKinney Building Inspections every week — we know the platform, the reviewers, and what they typically flag.
If you're a contractor working in McKinney, or a homeowner whose permit just got kicked back, we can usually get your load calcs done and ready to upload within 24-48 hours. Same-day if you order before 10 AM CT.

Common McKinney scenarios we solve
Permit got kicked back asking for Manual J: A homeowner replaces an HVAC system without a permit, the city catches it on a future inspection, and now they need proper load calcs for the equipment that's already installed. We handle this every week. Same-day turnaround available.
New construction needs J/D/S package: Builder needs the full package before the mechanical inspection. We size off plans you upload through the intake form.
Tenant finish-out for downtown McKinney: Restaurants, medical offices, retail buildouts in the historic district or commercial corridors. Manual N + Q sized per TI scope.
Refrigeration for restaurants: Walk-in cooler and freezer design for new restaurant builds in Adriatica or Craig Ranch retail.
