HVACapp (Automated Permit Processing) streamlines mechanical permitting for California C-20 contractors and the jurisdictions they work in. Standardized applications, automated code-compliance checks, and permit runners for everything that still needs a human.
Standard mechanical work — changeouts, replacements, like-for-like installs — follows a predictable pattern. HVACapp turns that pattern into a standardized application that can be checked and processed without weeks of back-and-forth.
Submit equipment specifications, location, and project details through a standardized application — the same fields every time, no jurisdiction guesswork.
Each data point is checked against mechanical code and Title 24 requirements, so the application that reaches the jurisdiction is complete and compliant.
Compliant applications move straight to filing — a licensed permit runner shepherds it through the jurisdiction and you track status until it's approved.
Every application is validated against current mechanical code and Title 24 energy requirements before it reaches the jurisdiction — so what gets filed is what gets approved.
Contractors get permits moving in hours instead of weeks. Jurisdictions get complete, standardized applications instead of incomplete paperwork that eats staff time.
Submit from the job site or the office. No new software for the jurisdiction to adopt — applications arrive through the permitting systems cities already use.
New installs almost always get permitted; changeouts are where paperwork slips. HVACapp makes the permit as fast as the job, so compliance stops being the bottleneck.
Available to CSLB-licensed C-20 contractors. Standardized applications and automated compliance checks mean faster time from sale to install — and a permit history lookup for any license, any time. Grow the business instead of chasing paperwork.
Complete, code-checked mechanical applications ease staff workloads while maintaining confidence in compliance. More permitted work means safer installs and a more accurate picture of what's happening in your building stock.
HVACapp is an independent service. It is not operated by, affiliated with, or endorsed by any city, county, or the CSLB. Permit data is sourced from each jurisdiction's public records.
