Furnace, Boiler and AC Installation in Salina, NY
Salina's permit list names additions or new heating systems, which is not quite the same sentence as a like for like replacement, and that distinction decides whether your job carries an independent inspection. Three quarters of the town heats with gas and 77 percent of it was built before 1980.

New heating system or replacement: Salina's wording turns on that
The Town of Salina publishes the work that requires a permit and includes additions or new heating systems, solid fuel heating devices and gas inserts on that list, alongside additions to electrical and plumbing systems. What the published wording does not settle is a straight swap, so the useful move in Salina is one telephone call to the Department of Planning and Development before a furnace or boiler is ordered, and getting the answer into the quote. Whether a permit applies matters for a practical reason rather than a bureaucratic one: the permit is what brings an independent inspection to the work. The town's housing puts it in both of the county's replacement problems at once, with 75.2 percent of occupied homes on utility gas and better than three quarters of the stock built before 1980, so the flue is routinely the oldest component in the job. New York's residential code addresses that directly where an appliance is disconnected from an existing chimney or connected to one during a new installation, and it is the part of the scope that goes missing from a thin quote. Mattydale, Lyncourt and Galeville are all inside the town and go to the same office.

Section M1801.3 of the Residential Code of New York State applies where an appliance is permanently disconnected from an existing chimney or vent, or connected to an existing chimney or vent during a new installation. M1801.3.1 requires the chimney or vent to be resized as necessary to control flue gas condensation in its interior and to provide the appliance or appliances served with the required draft, with resizing for oil-fired appliances vented to masonry chimneys done in accordance with NFPA 31. M1801.3.2 requires the flue gas passageway to be free of obstructions and combustible deposits, to be cleaned if previously used for a solid or liquid fuel-burning appliance or fireplace, and the flue liner or inner wall to comply. M1801.3.3 requires a cleanout opening in masonry chimneys and M1801.3.4 sets clearance to combustibles.
