Permits

Who permits HVAC work in the Gainesville area?

Levy County lists an A/C change-out as a permit type of its own, filed with the AHRI product performance certificate for the equipment.

Those are the counties' own words. A city with a building department of its own, Gainesville among them, issues the permit inside its limits, so the street address decides where an HVAC job's permit comes from; the Gainesville-area page lists every office.

The City of Gainesville's Building Division registers a company to pull permits inside the city limits only if it is a state-certified contractor.

What license does an HVAC contractor need in Gainesville?

For a job in Alachua, Levy and Gilchrist counties, a registration has to cover the job's county or city, while a certified license covers all of Florida. 1Stop holds it on file before it sends any HVAC work.
