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

- RefrigerantR-454B / R-32 (R-410A phased down 2025+)
- Good to know—
Pennsylvania adopts the ICC (IECC/IRC) codes via the Uniform Construction Code; cold-climate sizing matters and most replacements need a local municipal mechanical permit.
