HVAC Permit

Hello fellas,

I had a water leakage situation at my home in Canada and am going through insurance for repairs that include replacing the furnace. My contractor quoted $5200 for furnace replacement which most likely is gonna approved by the insurance. My question is, I have heard about getting HVAC permit from municipality or city office for it. Is that the general trend being followed ? Like for an example, if you go through Reliance or Enercare for furnace installation, do they get the permit always ? If yes what are the costs associated with that.

Since I am going through my contractor’s HVAC guy, I need to know if I should ask for that or no ?
