A mechanical permit is required for most installations, replacements, or alterations to heating, ventilation, air conditioning, and related mechanical systems. This includes furnaces, air conditioners, ductwork, gas piping, fireplaces, chimneys, and exhaust systems.
HVAC work must be completed by a registered HVAC contractor. Homeowners who live in the property may perform certain non-HVAC mechanical work after obtaining the required permit.
A permit is generally not required for routine service or repairs that do not alter the existing system.
