Have a contractor that in 2006 installed AC in a house under construction, but the AC was not part of the original plan approval. Upon finding this on an inspection, I requested a duct layout and cooling calcs for our review and approval process. The contractor refused to provide the calcs. The Homeowner and the contractor had parted ways due to attitude and money issues so I aided in trying to help him obtain design and calcs by contacting a local supply house that pretty much prepares these for 90% of the contractors in our area. The supply house was willing to help the H/O until the contractor contacted them and "persuaded" them not to get involved. So the homeowner added returns in the isolated rooms ( via transfer grills) and a Temp CO was issued.
Now the Contractor has reared his head and is back since he heard that a board member has recommended cutting my position in the township, and is requesting to review all building files submitted in the township for new homes in 2006, specifically AC designs. We have always required them when they are proposed.
I just need a quick "yes" or "no" whether or not those of you on this Board require design and calcs for new and retrofit installs. I am trying to show that this is common requirement in jurisdictions. Thanks in Advance!
