What's in the Checklist

The checklist covers three phases of every HVAC permit — each section is designed to be printed and checked off as you go.

  • Before work begins: Confirm permit is required, verify contractor credentials, get permit number, confirm inspection requirements
  • During installation: Permit card posted, work matches permit, document equipment details
  • After installation: Inspection scheduled, present at inspection, obtain closed permit copy, file records

Separate sections for standard replacements, mini-split installations, and heat pump projects.
