Permit may be required

It depends. Whether hvac replacement or installation needs a permit in Unincorporated Pulaski County comes down to the details of your project.

A new or relocated system, or one that burns gas, goes beyond a like for like change out and is not covered by replacement exemptions. Gas piping and venting normally require their own permit and a pressure test, and a relocated system usually triggers new duct, condensate, and electrical disconnect requirements. Indiana's residential code deletes the IRC's permit, exemption, inspection, and fee sections (R105 and R108 to R114), so whether this job needs a permit is set by the local ordinance of the city, town, or county, not by the model IRC exemption list. Equipment must meet the mechanical and fuel gas chapters of the 2020 Indiana Residential Code as amended; HVAC contractor licensing, where it exists, is local (IC 36-1-22-6). No state agency or local unit may require a license to install or maintain a low voltage thermostat of 50 volts or less (IC 22-13-2-5).
