Heating and cooling in Anaheim
Anaheim's mechanical fee sheet, Exhibit D, charges $95.00 for each furnace or wall heater, vent included, and $95.00 for an air handling unit. A compressor up to 15 HP is $49.00, and no permit costs less than the $188.00 minimum. It prints no date, and you should ask the counter for the current one. You'll find the Building Division at 200 S. Anaheim Blvd., Suite 145, (714) 765-5153, per a city form archived December 8, 2022.
A furnace, air handler, coil or condenser change-out needs a building permit under the California Mechanical Code, and so does adding ducting, according to a February 1, 2010 CSLB letter to C-20 contractors. Skipping it can cost a contractor up to $5,000 per citation. The census counts 65.7% of homes here as built before 1980. For an A/C tune-up, Anaheim Public Utilities rebates up to $100 ($150 if you're income-qualified), once every twelve months, done by a contractor holding a CSLB license and claimed within a year of service, while funding lasts.
The state's gas service map puts Southern California Gas at Anaheim's reference point, but the map is generalized, so go by your gas bill. SoCalGas lists a $1.40 to $25 per kBTUh rebate on an ENERGY STAR furnace with 92% AFUE or more, paid only with proof of permit closure. The point also sits in the South Coast AQMD. That district caps any gas central furnace sold or put in there, under Rule 1111, at 14 nanograms of NOx per joule of heat, so ask which quoted model meets it.

Permits for heating and cooling work in Anaheim
Under the California Mechanical Code, replacing a furnace, air handler, coil or condenser needs a building permit, and so does adding ducting, as the Contractors State License Board (CSLB) told C-20 contractors in a 2010 letter. Code details vary by city and county, so ask the building department for your address what it needs.
