Hypothetical example / Glendale
Hillside home: replacing a split system with new ductwork routes
Imagine a two-level hillside home where a new HVAC system is installed and some ducts are rerouted through a crawlspace. Duct location and leakage requirements may apply, and access for testing can be awkward on steep sites. Before work begins, ask the contractor to draw the new duct routes, confirm whether testing is needed, and think through how a rater would physically access the system if field verification is triggered.
Illustrative scenario only; not a statement about local projects, climate or permit rules.
Scenario checklist
- Draw new duct routes on both levels
- Note crawlspace access points
- Ask whether duct testing is required
- Plan rater access if verification applies
