Heating and cooling in Pomona
Two prices sit beside each other in Pomona's fee study for the 2026-27 Master Fee Schedule, dated May 21, 2026. For heating or cooling equipment up to 100,000 BTU, the current fee is $32.60 and the suggested fee $190.50. The permit issuance fee shows $33.25 current and $54.93 suggested. What you pay depends on which column the City Council adopted. Ask the counter. Building and Safety's mechanical permit handout (footer 11/2024, as posted on May 10, 2026) says a new or replacement furnace needs a permit, whether forced air, floor or wall type.
Air conditioners and their compressors do too. Plug-in portable units are exempt, and so is replacing parts on an existing unit. The division is at City Hall, 505 S. Garey Ave., 909-620-2311, open Monday to Thursday from 7:30 to 6:00 and closed Fridays. SoCalGas serves Pomona's reference point. Its furnace rebate, worth $1.40 to $25 per kBTUh, needs an ENERGY STAR furnace whose AFUE is 92% or better, with a contractor holding a CSLB license doing the install, plus proof of permit closure.
Electric service there is Edison's, with the City of Industry's utility touching the boundary. The same point lies inside South Coast AQMD, and Rule 1111 there allows a gas fan-type central furnace at most 14 nanograms of NOx per joule of useful heat, or else its maker pays a per-unit mitigation fee. Census figures give Pomona a median year built of 1967.
What heating and cooling work costs near Pomona
Nobody's given us a quote for work in Pomona yet, so this page can't show a city price. The California page lists what technicians earn (the California median in 2025 BLS wage data is $36.24 an hour, which is their pay, not your price). How we estimate costs.
Permits for heating and cooling work in Pomona
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.
