Are permits required for a new Air Conditioner?
Permits are not only required but you as a homeowner should insist that the air conditioner gets inspected. Installations that do not meet code can cause serious problems and even death. Furthermore your homeowners insurance does have the legal right to not provide compensation in the event that the poor installation caused the loss. Permits in most area cost around $100.00-$150.00 and for the piece of mind that the installation is up to code and your insurance remains intact is well worth it.
