Are HVAC contractors required to be licensed?

Answer

Yes, a HVAC contractor's license is required to do all HVAC projects requiring a permit and inspection.  The only exception to the licensing law is in a single-family residence. The resident owner may do the HVAC work on his owner residence after obtaining the required permits. The homeowner is not exempt from using licensed contractors for work on rental property or commercial property owned.
