Municipality of Oka : Get a permit to install a heat pump or air conditioning unit

Dear Residents of the Municipality of Oka,

We are delighted to serve you at AirGreen, your trusted partner for heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) solutions in the region. We would like to inform you about the specific regulations in your municipality regarding the installation of heat pumps and air conditioners.

Crucial Information:

  • No Permit Required: In Oka, it’s heartening to note that you do not need a permit to install a heat pump or an air conditioner. This regulatory ease speeds up the installation process, allowing you to quickly enjoy your new equipment.

Placement Rules:

  • Regulated Backyard:
    • Compressors for heating and air conditioning, as well as oil and propane tanks, must be placed at a minimum distance of 3 meters (or 10 feet) from property lines. This measure not only ensures compliance with local rules but also guarantees your safety and that of your neighbors.
  • Excess Side Yards:
    • For heating and air conditioning compressors located in excess side yards, a minimum distance of 7.6 meters (or 25 feet) from property lines is required. This provision aims to minimize noise disturbances and maintain a peaceful environment for all.

Your Responsibility:

It’s important to underline that the responsibility to adhere to these regulations falls on you, dear customers. You must ensure the installation complies with the stated rules and obtain agreement from your neighbors if necessary. Of course, at AirGreen, we are always available to guide and assist you in these steps. However, unless otherwise stipulated in your contract, obtaining the permit and ensuring compliance is your responsibility.

We Are Here For You:

AirGreen is committed to providing you with exceptional service and supporting you at every step. We offer our advice and expertise to facilitate your procedures and guarantee a compliant and safe installation. Do not hesitate to contact us for any questions or assistance needed.

Thank you for your trust, and we look forward to serving you.

Warm regards,

The AirGreen Team
