Just realized switching our old gas dryer to a heat pump model took over a month of permit delays
The install itself was quick, but our city's permit office needed three separate inspections that kept getting rescheduled. Anyone else hit a wall with local green upgrade rules?

Permits are the real climate change villains.

Permit delays are the worst part of any home project, aren't they? It completely kills the momentum when you're trying to do the right thing. We had a similar wait for a simple electrical inspection on a new circuit. The system seems set up to discourage people from making these upgrades, which is backwards. You finally get through the red tape and just feel exhausted instead of excited.

Ugh, tell me about it. That exhausted feeling is so real. It makes you wonder if the whole point is to wear you down so you just give up. Do you think the long waits are because they're understaffed, or is it more about the process itself being broken on purpose?
