Tips

  • Furnace and air conditioner replacement share a single flat One-Stop fee ($70) in Mead, plus the $50 Administrative Processing Fee.
  • Any new or modified gas line — including for a furnace, fireplace, or gas range — requires a separate Gas Line/Plumbing Form and one-line plan, with plan review required for every service installation; don't assume the flat One-Stop fee covers gas line work.
