What Madisonville code requires

- SEER2 minimum14.3 SEER2 (Southeast, <45k BTU)
Federal Southeast-region minimum for new split-system AC. Higher tiers cut bills and unlock rebates.
- Load calculationRequired (Manual J)

- RefrigerantR-454B / R-32 (R-410A phased down 2025+)
- Good to know—
Kentucky runs a statewide HVAC licensing, permitting and inspection program (first in the US); a permit plus final inspection is required for every install/replacement, and proof of adequate sizing is required on the permit application.

AC Maintenance in Madisonville, explained.
What affects AC tune-up prices in Madisonville?
Prices vary based on system age and condition—older units (median home built 1974) may need extra cleaning or part adjustments. The type of service matters: a basic tune-up is more affordable than a coil cleaning or comprehensive inspection. Kentucky requires a mechanical permit and proof of adequate sizing (Manual J) for any replacement, which can add to costs if upgrades are needed. Local labor rates and the technician's experience also play a role.
