We do:

1. Site Compliance Assessment & Quote: We offer complimentary permitting research based on your business address. We'll explain how local enforcement works and identify what specific permits you need, whether it's fire, hazmat, or building.
2. Site Survey: Once we understand your jurisdiction's requirements, we conduct a site survey, especially if existing floor plans are outdated or unavailable. This on-site inspection is crucial for accurate project estimating and also helps us preempt any potential issues before installation or inspection.
3. Estimation & Equipment Specification: Our estimates are built around only what’s required. We never upsell unnecessary components. Using data from your site survey, we align your system with permit regulations to deliver a clear, accurate quote.
4. Drafting & Permitting: This involves detailed floor plans tailored to your site and local code, preparing supporting documents like product spec sheets and hazmat forms, and the completion and submittal of all permit applications to local authorities.
5. Installation & Scheduling: We coordinate the installation with your site contact to avoid downtime or disruption. Aerosphere also works with any contractors you've already hired, including gas suppliers or general contractors.
6. Final Inspection & Fire Sign-Off: Once installation is complete, we’ll schedule and attend the final inspection with the AHJ (Authority Having Jurisdiction), usually a fire or building inspector.
7. Annual Recertification & Service Renewals: For clients who opt into our recertification program, we return yearly to: test and validate that all equipment functions correctly, tag your system with updated service tag, and provide documentation showing your system passed renewal to the appropriate AHJ (if required).
