Contractors State License Board Alerts Contractors to
New Heat and Air Conditioner Work Law
Consumers will also feel the effect of new rules
Sacramento -- The Contractors State License Board (CSLB) has teamed up with the California Energy Commission (CEC) to get the word out about new energy code requirements that go into effect on October 1, 2005 that contractors must meet. Under the new law (Building Energy Efficiency Standards, Title 24, Part 6), contractors must test a home's ducts for leaks when a new central air conditioner or furnace is installed or replaced. If the ducts leak 15% or more, they must be repaired.
