FAQs
Utility Pads questions.
Can you install a pad under an AC unit?
Moving HVAC equipment may require a licensed HVAC contractor. THC can install pads where access and clearance allow.
Can utility pads be custom sizes?
Yes. Standard and custom sizes are quoted based on scope and materials.
Should the pad be perfectly level?
Pads should be stable and appropriate for the use, while still considering drainage away from structures when needed.
How much does a utility pad cost in the Triangle area?
Utility pad pricing depends on size and material. Most are modest in cost compared to full patio projects. THC provides a clear proposal after a site review.
Can a utility pad match the material of an existing patio?
Yes — if you have an existing paver patio, THC can match the paver style and color for a seamless look.
