Heating and cooling permits in San Jose: what gets installed and who installs it

By equipment

Equipment as stated on the permit. Many permits in San Jose do not state it; those rows are counted as "not stated". A range appears only behind 5 or more permits.

Declared value versus the price you will be quoted

The value on a permit is what the applicant declared the work to be worth when filing, and the permit fee is a percentage of it. It is routinely below the price the homeowner actually paid, and it is not an estimate for your home. It is useful as a floor and as a check: a quote far above the top of the range for your house type is worth a second bid, and a quote below the bottom is worth a question about what is being left out.

What moves the real price above the declared value: equipment size and efficiency tier, ductwork found undersized or leaking, an electrical panel or circuit upgrade for a heat pump, and the permit, inspection and duct-leakage test.
