Notwithstanding KRS 198B.030 to the contrary, any person who installs an
initial heating, ventilation, or air conditioning system shall apply for a permit
prior to beginning the installation. No installation shall begin before the
application for the permit has been filed. In no event, however, shall a person
exempt under KRS 198B.674 be required to possess or show proof of a
heating, ventilation, or air conditioning license in order to obtain the permit
required by this section.
The applicant for a heating, ventilation, and air conditioning permit, by the act
of applying for the permit, shall be deemed to consent to inspection of the
installation by authorized inspectors of the Commonwealth of Kentucky and of
the relevant city, county, urban-county government, charter county, unified
local government, or consolidated local government.
The permit shall contain and display:
(a) The name of the person performing the work;
(b) The full extent of the work to be performed;
(c) The name of the owner or owners of the property where the work is to be
performed;
(d) The location of the property where the work is to be performed, including
county and street address; and
(e) The master license number, if the work is required to be performed by a
master heating, ventilation, and air conditioning contractor.
No permit shall be required for any installation performed on a manufactured
home as defined in KRS 227.550, by a manufactured home retailer licensed
pursuant to KRS 227.610, or by a manufacturer as defined in KRS 227.550.
No permit or inspection shall be required for the installation of window unit air
conditioners or space heaters.
