Do I need a permit for hvac replacement or installation in Collierville?
Yes. In Tennessee, hvac replacement or installation generally requires a permit, and Collierville is no exception.
Replacing a furnace, air handler, or condenser (a change-out) generally requires a mechanical permit; new gas or electrical connections may require additional trade permits and inspections. Confirm submittal and inspection details with your local codes department or the state issuing agent, as thresholds and forms differ by jurisdiction. Collierville expressly requires a permit for mechanical change outs such as HVAC replacement, so a like-for-like changeout is not exempt from permitting. Any work that removes, replaces, or installs gas appliances, equipment, or piping, including a gas furnace, requires a permit and adds a gas-piping and venting scope. Collierville requires a state or county licensed contractor for all mechanical work, so a homeowner generally cannot self-perform the HVAC changeout; confirm licensing before hiring.
