If California contractors are following the new law of their land, they should be pulling a building permit every time they come to install or replace a central air conditioner or furnace in a household. However, in an informal survey of cities across the great state of California, not one city official noted a spike in the issuance of building permits since Title 24 went into effect Oct. 1, 2005.
Granted, there could be an outside chance that not many air conditioners or furnaces were installed or repaired in California during the months of October, November, or December last year, but what is the likelihood?
