HVAC express permit or plan review path for heat pump work
LADBS lists comfort heating and comfort cooling installations under its HVAC express permit categories when the aggregate input is below the listed threshold, and it also says work outside express eligibility uses the plan review and permitting path. Heat pump replacement or conversion work in the City of Los Angeles should be matched to the LADBS HVAC express permit criteria or routed through plan review when the scope is not eligible.
