New Jersey Licensing and Efficiency Rules

New Jersey falls in the DOE's North region. New split central air conditioners must meet at least 13.4 SEER2, and heat pumps sold anywhere in the U.S. need 14.3 SEER2 and 7.5 HSPF2. A repair usually goes ahead without a permit, but the tech handling refrigerant must hold EPA 608 certification. Ask the company for its New Jersey license or registration number before the visit.

Before You Hire

  • Ask for the per-pound refrigerant price before any work starts.
  • Swap the air filter and check the breaker before you call anyone.
  • If the compressor is gone on an older unit, get a replacement quote before you pay for the repair.
