Hi Harald
If you are using a cantilevered platform to support the unit on the side of the house, I can probably administratively
review and approve the work.
Here is the Building Permit Sign off form for your contractor to complete when you are ready. You will need to provide a
sketch plan of the location with details of height and dimensions.

Hi Kelly,
My name is Harald Prokop and a few years ago my wife and I bought the house at 41 Powers Ln in the dunes
on Seagull beach. We are planning to replace the existing heading/cooling system with a heat pump to use our
solar panels through the year. I just spoke with Heidi and she suggested I follow-up in email. I’m available by
cell at 617-642-2022.
We currently have a gas furnace for heat and a side vented condenser unit mounted under that house. It seems
that the high-efficiency heat pumps all vent upwards and would need to be placed at the side of the house. I’m
looking for guidance on both process and placement for this. We are pretty flexible on location. My
understanding is that the building code requires the unit to be placed above the flood plane and the amount of
work is smaller if we can find a spot close to where the current unit is placed. The HVAC contractor
recommended that we have a carpenter built a platform at the side of the house.

Attached are two photos of the corner of the house where the current unit is mounted with markups in purple of
the rough location of the current unit. I also attached a survey we had made when we bought the property.
Please let me know what the best next steps are on this.
Thank you,
-Harald
