Tips

  • Eloy's published minimum efficiency thresholds (16 SEER for AC, 78% AFUE weatherized / 80% AFUE non-weatherized gas heating) are stricter than the unamended 2018 IECC baseline — confirm equipment specs meet these before purchase.
  • New rooftop or attic HVAC units require a Roof System Confirmation (sealed engineer letter or truss manufacturer letter) verifying the roof can support the new unit — this is commonly missed on straightforward change-outs that add curbing or relocate equipment.
  • The FY 2026-2027 fee schedule (effective July 1, 2026) deleted the dedicated HVAC change-out, combination-unit, and ductwork fee lines — a typical residential HVAC change-out is now billed as a Minimal Mechanical Permit ($70.00 under $500 improvement valuation, $92.50 combined with other trades under $1,000) or on the general valuation-based fee table.
