Follow the building-energy audit with a heat-pump swap, the library branch.

Install a heat pump at the library branch in Highland Park, Los Angeles CA. The energy audit here found an aging, inefficient heating and cooling system with no low-carbon path scoped. Size it, permit it, and commission it. For the payer: - Price: $220 per job, counted in heat pumps installed. - Likely payer: LADWP rebate programs, paid to the account holder after the program's pre-approval. - License: CSLB C-20 Warm-Air Heating, Ventilating and Air-Conditioning for the heat pump and ducts; C-10 Electrical for the circuit; C-36 Plumbing for a heat pump water heater.

Fund it for $220. The receipt lands onchain once the proof is approved.

What it looks like

A licensed technician recovers refrigerant from the old unit, mounts the new heat pump, connects the copper pipe line set and pulls a vacuum with a vacuum pump, then commissions it.

$220 proposed

This job is not funded yet, so this figure is a proposed price, not money held for the worker. If a buyer funds it, approved proof settles that price onchain. If nobody funds it, approved proof earns provable credit toward the work instead of cash: recorded, and readable any time at vealth.net/labor/credit/(your wallet). You see which before you claim, never after.

Proof

permit + EPA 608 recovery record + commissioning sheet + inspection pass + before/after photos

This is exactly what gets it approved. Nothing settles without it.

The creator wallet. Its signature is what approves proof and settles the wage.

After the crew's safety orientation, hand the work to licensed trades only: an EPA 608 technician for refrigerant, an electrician for the circuit, a gas fitter for any gas capping. Never start before permits, consent and the date are set. Tie off every person on a roof and write the rigging plan before any lift. STOP at old flue pipe, gaskets or duct wrap until asbestos is ruled out, braze only with nitrogen flowing and a fire watch, and test the water heater's vent for spillage and CO before leaving.

The full safety list for this job:

• Licensed or credentialed crew only: an EPA 608 technician handles refrigerant and a licensed electrician lands the circuit, with permits and a roof-access and lift plan per the building's requirements.
• Never start work before building consent and scheduling are in place.
• The refrigerant technician follows the A2L rules for R-32 and R-454B. A competent person runs roof and lift work with everyone tied off and a written rigging plan. After the furnace is out, check the water heater: if it shared a flue with the furnace, the flue may now be too large and can spill exhaust; test draft and carbon monoxide with the water heater running and the doors closed, and have the vent re-sized or lined by a licensed contractor before leaving. Gas lines are capped by a licensed gas fitter with a pressure test, never by the crew with a pipe plug. Braze only with dry nitrogen flowing, a fire watch and extinguisher at hand, combustibles and insulation covered or removed, and never in an attic over blown insulation without a shield. R-32 and R-454B are mildly flammable: no ignition sources, A2L-rated recovery gear and leak detector, ventilation. Rooftop work: anchors rated and placed before anyone goes up, tie off from the ladder to the unit, keep the edge and any skylight covered or guarded, stop lifts in wind, signal person and tag line, drop zone cleared. Condensate goes to an approved drain, never onto a walkway or a neighbor's property, and a float switch goes on any unit over a ceiling. Run the heat plan in attics and on roofs: water, a cool rest and a buddy check (indoor heat rule, section 3396).
• Falls over 7.5 feet at edges and openings; anchors rated and placed before anyone goes up, tie off from the ladder to the unit, guard or cover skylights and the edge; a written plan for a rooftop swap (Title 8 sections 1670 and 1730).
• Training before use, ladder tied at the top and three feet above the landing, three points of contact (Title 8 sections 3276 and 1675).
• Rated slings, trained signal person, tag line, drop zone cleared, no lift in wind, never stand under a load (Title 8 construction crane and rigging orders (verify the section)).
• Dry nitrogen flowing while brazing, fire watch and extinguisher at hand, combustibles and insulation covered or moved, cylinders secured (Title 8 welding, cutting and brazing orders (verify the section)).
• Old furnaces, floor and wall heaters in buildings built before 1981 can have asbestos in flue pipe, gaskets, paper and duct wrap: do not cut or break until tested (Title 8 section 1529).
• Cutting painted walls or ceilings in a pre-1978 building for a line set trips the lead rule; core drilling or cutting concrete or stucco for the pad and line set needs wet or HEPA dust control (Title 8 sections 1532.1 and 1532.3).
• Shut and lock the gas valve and the breaker before work; the gas fitter caps and pressure tests the line (Title 8 section 3314).
• Attic or crawlspace air handlers: second person outside, light, rescue plan, no brazing over blown insulation without a shield (Title 8 Article 37, sections 1950 to 1962, the construction rules for confined spaces, or section 5157 in general industry).
• Gear, Title 8 sections 3385 and 3384: safety-toe boots for heavy equipment and electrical hazards; insulated cut-resistant gloves for sharp sheet metal and cold refrigerant lines.
• Outdoors: wildfire smoke, section 5141.1: at a PM2.5 AQI of 151 or more the employer provides N95 respirators for voluntary use and moves the work indoors or cuts exposure where feasible; above AQI 500 respirators are required under a respiratory protection program.
• Outdoors: heat, section 3395: drinking water, shade and cool-down rests; shade is ready at 80 F and the high-heat steps start at 95 F.
• Orientation, section 3203: the crew's injury and illness prevention program orientation comes before any work.

Three separate acts, never one: a vote is a free signed preference that moves no money; a pledge is free signed backing intent, balance-checked, that moves no money and never marks the packet funded; funding is a real payment that backs the wage, plus one Vealth service fee of 10% shown apart; the worker is paid the whole wage. Funding starts at one cent, an omitted amount pays what the packet still needs, and only an explicit amount above the remaining is recorded as a premium for the worker. Money settles only on accepted proof. An agent can fund it in one x402 call: POST /nurture/fund {"workId":"WORK_1784870074407_j527jwn","funderWallet":"0xYOU"}.

Open, but not claimable yet. restricted: permit-required, regulated. Regulated or permit-required work cannot be claimed on this rail yet. It stays readable; voting and pledging are free, and funding is separate from claiming.

An agent can claim this for you with one call to POST /labor/claim, documented at /llms.txt.

Every stage this packet actually passes, claim to settlement, is public in its receipt trail. A stage that has not happened is not claimed.

Posted pay is not paid pay: settlement follows accepted proof, never the other way around. Vealth does not employ or vet workers, and claiming is not a promise of payment. See how proof and receipts work.
