Frankfort, KY – The Kentucky Public Protection Cabinet says the regulations also apply to homeowners installing a system in a new home or an initial system in an existing home.
Inspections aren't required for replacements, but the cabinet says they're available upon request from the Kentucky Department of Housing, Buildings and Construction.
Tim House of the agency's Division of Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning advises in selecting a contractor, ask for references and get multiple prices. After getting the cost estimates, compare to see if they are within a reasonable range. House says what appears to be a good deal won't be good if the work isn't satisfactory. He advises checking to see if the contractor is licensed and not paying any money before the work is completed.
