Permits, Compliance & Installation Considerations
Requirements can vary widely by city and county in California. Permits may be needed for equipment replacement,
electrical changes, duct modifications, or new system installations.
For refrigerant-based equipment, your installer should be properly credentialed to evacuate the system, verify charge,
confirm airflow, and complete startup checks safely.
Ask during your quote request: “Are permits and required inspections included, and do you handle the paperwork?”
