Permits

Permits.

They are not very hard to do. It is all on line and it only takes 20 minutes total.

There is a handful,  about (20) companies,  in Martin County that consistently pull permits. That leaves 100+  registered a/c companies that are not pulling a permit on a change-out.

Why should I go with Grateful Air Conditioning when I can save $400 with another company.
The difference is the permit fee, the proper sized wire and the proper sized breaker. Our jobs include locking caps, units strapped down properly and list goes on and on.

What is the most important part of a permit besides an outsider making sure the job is done right?

LIABILITY.

Did you know if a fire breaks out in your air conditioning/heating system ( it does happen not often but it does) and the job is done without a permit the insurance companies WILL NOT cover the damage.
Contractors insurance AND homeowners insurance will not cover it.

That is a lot to digest.
