Mechanical permit pulled by your licensed HVAC contractor; covers equipment, refrigerant, and the electrical disconnect.
- SEER2 minimum13.4 SEER2 (North)
Federal North-region minimum for new split-system AC. Higher tiers cut bills and unlock rebates.
- Load calculationRecommended
Sizing by load calc — not rule of thumb — prevents an oversized unit that short-cycles and never dehumidifies.

- Good to know—
Cold-climate sizing matters; gas-line work on a furnace must be done by a licensed plumber/gas fitter even if a homeowner pulls the mechanical permit.
