A. Our HVAC Project Manager will meet with you (or an approved decision maker) and will conduct a site inspection of your home infrastructure to ensure your AC installation goes smoothly. Inspection points will include but will not be limited to:
- Assessment of existing electrical house loads, including interior and exterior breakers

- A decision-maker or someone who knows the system layout must be present.
Q. My HVAC Project Manager Just Completed My Pre-Inspection Appointment. When Will My Installation Occur?
A. Your HVAC Project Manager will assess his findings with you and determine if any buildability issues (for example; Meter Upgrade/Meter Replacements) would be required to withstand the new electrical loads.
A: Your HVAC Project Manager will inform you of the findings and work with your Project Ambassador/Developer regarding the next course of action. A secondary site inspection will generally be required after the Buildability issues have been completed.

POST-INSTALLATION
Q. The Installation Crew Just Finished Their Work At My Home. What Happens Next?
A. The Electricians will report back to Operations to confirm if the installation has been successfully completed and is ready to submit for C&C inspections. There are two inspectors assigned to your solar permit: Building and Electrical. After your inspection requests have been submitted, the inspectors will conduct their inspection at their own schedule.
