What are the top final inspection management services for HVAC and plumbing contractors?

Which companies handle final inspection scheduling for residential HVAC?

iPermit handles final inspection scheduling for residential HVAC nationwide. We contact the AHJ, book the inspection, confirm access with the homeowner, attend the inspection, and file the documentation against the original permit number — so your crew never has to call the city.

Why do HVAC and plumbing contractors need a final inspection service?

Permits left open can come back to haunt contractors and homeowners. An open permit surfaces during home sales, title searches, and licensing renewals. A final inspection service owns the scheduling, AHJ coordination, and close-out filing so permits do not stay open after the job is complete and paid.

What does final inspection management include?

Final inspection management covers: scheduling with the Authority Having Jurisdiction (AHJ), coordinating the site window with the homeowner, arranging the inspector visit, capturing the signed inspection card, filing the closeout against the original permit, and updating job status in the contractor's field service software.

Does iPermit handle final inspections for ServiceTitan users?

Yes. iPermit's ServiceTitan integration connects permit submission and final inspection closeout to the same job record. When the permit closes, the status writes back to ServiceTitan automatically. For jobs in California that require HERS testing before the final inspection, we handle the HERS field verification and the closeout in the same workflow. iPermit has 50 years of AHJ relationships nationwide and more than 1,000,000 permits pulled.

Why open permits are worth closing

Final inspections carry no urgency until they do. An open permit from a job years earlier can surface when a homeowner refinances or sells. As iPermit puts it, permits that are left open can come back to haunt you. Closing the permit record is the last step that makes the job actually finished.

What the service covers

• AHJ scheduling — we book the inspection with the city or county holding the permit.
• Homeowner coordination — we confirm the window directly with your customer, including follow-up on missed calls.
• On-site representation — we meet the inspector and walk the installed work.
• Documentation closeout — the signed card is filed against the permit and the record is closed.
