Last year an estimated 60-70% of new AC installations were done without any type of permit being pulled.  This allows the contractor to install equipment without having to follow the mechanical or electrical codes or have their work inspected by a third party.   While in these difficult economic times it may be tempting to cut corners, perhaps by not going to the trouble of getting the appropriate permitting and inspections, the headaches this might cause in the future could be staggering. Here at Jones Air Conditioning pull a permit on every installation as required by the local building authorities. If you have questions on if a permit should have been pulled for work performed on your HVAC system give us a call today: 239-596-5855.
