For Midlothian Homeowners

Midlothian FAQ

Does a straightforward AC replacement need a permit?+

It depends on the specific city and the scope of the replacement. A true like-for-like swap is sometimes treated more simply than a full system change, but this varies enough by jurisdiction that it's worth confirming directly for your specific address rather than assuming based on what a neighbor's contractor did.

What happens if HVAC work was done without a required permit?+

It can create complications later, particularly around home insurance claims related to that system, and can surface as an issue during a home inspection when selling. It's generally worth having unpermitted major work reviewed rather than assuming it's fine simply because the system has run without issue.
