Permits Matter!

This was the question; “Are permits important?” I paused, wanting to give a thoughtful answer, but feeling a little conflicted. Here is why.

Before getting into the HVAC business, I thought that permits were mostly a way to raise money. I don’t know why I believed that, but I did. After being in the HVAC business however, the value of permits has become crystal clear. Permits are important…they are there to protect the public. HVAC Permits matter.

The HVAC Inspector is Your Ally

The HVAC inspector is not the enemy. In fact, they are your advocate, someone who is on your side. They will come to your home or business to certify that the installation was done correctly.

Many homeowners and businesses don’t know when a permit is required and/or why. And some unscrupulous or careless contractors are happy to take advantage of that. I’ve seen many installations where permits were not pulled, and therefore inspections were not made. Some of these installations clearly cut corners, by-passing building codes designed to keep the homeowner, businesses, and people safe from harm.

That’s one of the reasons why the relationship you have with your contractor is so important. Most contractors follow the rules and pull permits. We find systems that are installed poorly are also the ones that do not meet code.

Accountability Improves Quality of Work

Permits put a level of accountability on the contractor. When the contractor knows their work will be inspected, mistakes are few and any issues found are corrected in a timely manner. Permits keep the contractor honest and you safe.

It is fair to say that there are two types of contractors. The ones who play by the rules (pull permits) and the ones who try to skirt the rules (those who do not). To be sure that you have the correct one, ask them about permits. If you still have concerns, ask for the permit number. Making sure that your contractor pulled a permit is a great way to protect yourself.

Permits = Quality = Safety!
