Kentucky requires HVAC contractors to obtain permits before performing certain HVAC-related work, especially for new installations. This applies to one- and two-family dwellings, multi-family buildings, and commercial buildings. Permits are generally required for new installations and may be required for some replacement projects, but not for replacing a single component of an HVAC system.
Only licensed master HVAC contractors are permitted to apply for HVAC permits in Kentucky. Journeymen cannot apply for permits or bid on contracts independently.
The state of Kentucky has implemented a statewide HVAC permitting and inspections program. This program requires permits for all new construction and ensures that only properly licensed individuals can apply.
Specific requirements for HVAC permits may include:
- A completed HVAC construction permit application.
- For commercial and multi-family buildings, three sets of plans may be required, along with a COMcheck compliance verification form for energy conservation code compliance.
- The HVAC contractor's Master Number.
- An affidavit of assurances.
- Federal Tax Identification Number.
- Occupational license number for the city/county where the work is being performed.
- For homeowner applications for one- and two-family dwellings, duct design, load calculation, and an affidavit stating the owner will occupy the home are necessary.
All work must comply with the Kentucky Residential Code and the Kentucky Building Code.
