Permits, licenses and your utility
Ohio licenses HVAC contractors through the Ohio Construction Industry Licensing Board, and cities add their own registration. Replacing a furnace, boiler or condenser usually needs a permit from Building and Zoning Services, and the contractor normally handles it.
Know your Columbus house
The Dublin Road plant treats water from the Scioto River and the Griggs and O'Shaughnessy reservoirs. Blueprint Columbus uses green infrastructure to reduce sewer overflows.
Contractors need a city license from Building and Zoning Services before they pull permits. Additions are often served by a separate unit or a long duct run, which is a common reason one room never feels right.
Long, bitter winters make heating the priority. A furnace or boiler that fails during a cold snap is an emergency, so a fall tune-up is worth scheduling early. Electrical, HVAC and plumbing contractors must hold an Ohio state license before getting a city license.
What to have ready
Write down the thermostat setting and what the room temperature actually reads.

Common questions
Do I need my ducts cleaned?
Not on a fixed schedule. It can help after renovation dust, a pest problem or visible mold, but regular filter changes do most of the work.
Should I repair or replace my system?
It depends on age, repair cost and how well it works. Ask for both options in writing, including efficiency and any rebates, and compare.
What is a heat pump?
It moves heat instead of making it, heating in winter and cooling in summer. Modern cold-climate models work well even in freezing weather.
