Inspections we cover

AC changeouts, new system installations, ductwork inspections, and mechanical finals. Each one has a trade-specific checklist that walks your tech through exactly what to capture.

AC Changeout

The most common inspection we handle. Your tech records the equipment set (model, serial, capacity matching permit), clearances, condensate routing, disconnect, electrical connections, refrigerant line insulation, thermostat location, and plenum connections. Takes about 4 minutes to record.

New System Installation

Everything in a changeout plus ductwork installation, return air sizing, supply register locations, and energy code compliance documentation.

Ductwork

Material and sizing, support intervals, sealing, insulation R-value, and clearances from heat sources. Best captured before drywall goes up.

Emergency Replacements

FL 553.791 Section 10 waives the NTBO for emergency work. Your tech can inspect the same day the system goes in, and the report gets filed within one business day.

Why HVAC contractors switch to virtual

If you run 15 or more changeouts a week, you know the math. A 3-5 day inspection wait on each one means you always have dozens of open permits. Virtual inspections close them the same day the work is done.
