Requirement to obtain a permit for a heat pump or air conditioning system
Installation subject to a certificate of authorization
In Saint-Stanislas-de-Kostka, the installation of a heat pump, heating system, or air conditioning unit requires a municipal permit . No installation can be carried out without this prior authorization, even if the equipment is small or intended for residential use.

compliance with urban planning and safety standards,

the proper integration of the equipment into the property.

If additional information is required, the municipal inspector will contact the applicant directly , which may extend the initial timeframe.
Fees applicable for an HVAC installation

obtaining the required authorization certificate,
