## What a hvac replacement permit usually covers

Swapping the furnace, air conditioner or heat pump and the connections the mechanical permit inspects. New ductwork, electrical panel work and thermostats are often separate line items or separate permits.

Read this first. Permit values are self-reported by the applicant to set permit fees. They often leave out materials or labor, and they are not what the contractor actually charged. A quote above or below this range can be reasonable.
