Mini split head moved.

[Squid]

Not sure if this is here or energy.

If you have multiple mini splits in a space, eliminate one, and take the wall unit from the eliminated one and attach it to another existing lineset since you don't want the ceiling unit it had does that require a permit?

To me that's pre-existing, and I'm starting to think the particular person saying this just doesn't like me. It's just late otherwise I'd contact the hvac people. I find it odd they wouldn't have done so. I have multiple other permits posted in the window. The permit paperwork makes it sound like it has to be new.

And window stickers... is there a 30% of the window can't be covered requirement? I haven't found anything in ordinances. I put 70/30 window stickers that allow light in and let you see out pretty alright (hundreds of little holes perforating it. figured its better than shades). What I've gathered so far is it's a 30% visibility out of the space requirement. In which case that's exactly what 70/30 stickers are for.

Since you posted in commercial...CT permit exemptions from mechanical:

Mechanical:
1. Portable heating appliances with a self-contained fuel supply.
2. Portable ventilation appliances.
3. Portable cooling units.
4. Steam, hot or chilled water piping within any heating or cooling equipment regulated by
this code.
5. Replacement of any minor part that does not alter approval of equipment or make such
equipment unsafe.
6. Portable evaporative coolers.
7. Self-contained refrigeration systems containing 10 pounds (4.54 kg) or less of refrigerant
or that are actuated by motors of 1 horsepower (746 W) or less.
8. Portable fuel cell appliances that are not connected to a fixed piping system and are not
interconnected to a power grid.

Doesn't seem to fit....

And I don't regulate window stickers, so not sure what that is about....Light and ventilation are the main window requirements and unless it is a black sticker, I just don't see the point of fighting that, be like fighting blackout window shades....

I have seen window coverage requirements in zoning codes.

I'm pretty sure you need a permit any time you start fooling with refrigerant lines.

Moving the head does require a permit. Covering a storefront window will upset the police department in some cities. The police want to be able to see inside.

Since you are RELOCATING and Ext'g Device, AND the total capacity that the orignial design has not changed from the original design used to get the Permit, Sounds like a Repair /Modification that doesn't seem to trigger any Life Safety Issues
