Air Conditioning Installation Permitting

If you are thinking about having your air conditioning system or ductwork replaced or any home improvement repair done that requires a Florida licensed contractor, make sure they pull a permit. This will give you, after the work is done, an inspection as to whether the work was performed properly and to code, for that trade.  This process is very important because it protects you and your property.

The easiest way to ensure the contractor is licensed is to visit http://www.myfloridalicense.com/dbpr and click the “verify a license” button on the top menu. Then you will be able to search by contractor name, license number, city and state, or license type. This will also give you the Licensure Date. Make sure you check this date with how many years the contractor claims to be in business. If there is a discrepancy here it should raise a red flag. Another great resource is http://www.sunbiz.org/ where you can search corporation records.

Make sure the contractor also has proper insurance.  Just a little bit of research can help prevent you from accidentally hiring a bad HVAC company who could possibly cause you much frustration and create expensive repair bills.  It’s also recommended to have a heating and cooling load done on the home to ensure proper sizing of the air-conditioning equipment and manual D for ductwork. This is no longer a code but it is the right thing to do!
