Do I need a permit for hvac replacement or installation in Malvern?

Permit likely required

Most likely yes. Hvac replacement or installation usually requires a permit in Arkansas. Confirm the specifics with Malvern.

Arkansas requires an HVACR license, but a person doing HVACR work in an existing home he or she owns and occupies is exempt, and must still obtain local permits and inspections required by local ordinance (ACA 17-33-102). Gas piping and gas appliances follow the Arkansas Gas Code of the Department of Health (Volume II 101.4.1). Arkansas has no statewide residential permit office: building permits come from a city or town (or a county that chose to run a program), so the first question is which local office, if any, covers the address.
